Our baby is growing up so fast! I can't believe it's been a month since our little Oliver was placed on my stomach, and I got to stare into his deep blues for the first time. I'm already forgetting exactly what it felt like to be pregnant. It has been over a week since accidentally reaching for my belly to feel his little kicks and movements inside me only to realize that those moments are gone for now. But what I have instead is so so much better! Oliver has truly stolen our hearts. Brian and I can just sit and watch him for what seems like forever.
Here are some fun facts about Oliver at one month:
* We don't have a scale at the moment, but we are estimating he weighs 7.5ish lbs now. He is still wearing newborn clothes and newborn diapers.
*He is a great cuddle buddy. He especially loves to lay on our chests and snuggle up into a ball. I hope he stays this way for a long time.
*Still loves to put his hands up near his face when napping by himself. He also loves to be stretched out. We only swaddle him at night.
*He likes baths and loves showers. He is so curious and calm in the water.
*He moves his head from side to side like a champ and tries to kick/scoot without much success during tummy time, but his favorite thing to do on his tummy is suck on his fist.
*He gets the hiccups at least once a day.
*His dry skin on his scalp is practically gone and he has just a tiny bit of baby acne.
*He can sometimes put himself to sleep and is sleeping in 4-5hr stretches at night. He is a great car sleeper, which has been a huge blessing with the move and such.
*Brian swears Oliver laughed the other day, but I wasn't there to confirm it.
*He is sometimes burping on his own now but has started spitting up a lot this week.
*He tracks and responds to our faces and still loves to stare at lights.
*His eyes are slowly turning a lighter blue, and he hasn't lost any of his newborn hair yet. We can't wait to see what he looks like in a couple of months!
