I forgot how hard these pics are to take! This was the best I could get. Oh, and here are a few bloopers below to see what 99% of them looked like! haha!
Month: 1 - March 26, 2017
Height: 21.5 inches - Side note, when both Ivor and Tilly were born, the hospital marked their height way more than what the doctor said at their first appointment.. so weird! So as of now the doctor is just now saying he is as tall as they said he was at the hospital.
Weight: 9lbs 6 oz (66%) This little guy was already back past his birth weight by his 1 week appointment (which made him 7lbs 3oz (7%) then) and he just shot up! Big sister is only 22/23lbs right now at almost 3, so I have a feeling he is going to catch up to her very quickly.. too funny!!
Diaper Size: 1
Clothes Size: He is definitely too big for almost all newborn, except the ones that run really big. The problem is most 0-3mo are quite a bit bigger than newborn, so he's that weird in between size where even though newborn is too small, 0-3mo is too big. Clothing size is so annoying!
Sleep: This guy LOVES to sleep. He still sleeps about 90% of his day. At night for the past week or so he had be eating and going to sleep around 10:30pm and then sleeping until 3am and then 6/7am. The past 2 days he backtracked some and started eating and going to sleep a tiny bit earlier around 10pm, but then doing his short stretch first and waking at 1:15am and then stretching the last half until 5:30/6am. Pretty much we are still in that newborn phase of no set schedule, but thankfully most night stretches go 4-5 hours for average.
Eat: He definitely loves to eat, but I have no clue on ounces like I tracked with Tilly since we are breastfeeding this time. He eats what I mentioned above at night, and then during the day mostly does 3 hour stretches until night time. Then he gets his fussy "wants to eat and be held time constantly phase" and will kind of eat on and off most evenings from about 7/8 until bedtime. Luckily he is a very fast eater and is done within 15min max with the 2 sides combined. He's an in and out kind of guy! Average is about 10 minutes per "meal time" ha.
Likes: Eat, sleep, and snuggle! And he is 100% a mama's boy and prefers me constantly. One other thing that he is different about than Tilly is he loves his pacifier! She never really took to one and I didn't ever push it since I didn't want something to have to take away later. Now since this guy loves it and it calms him, I'll deal with the take away part later!
Dislikes: Being changed.. whew! This guy does not like his diaper changed... and speaking of diapers, boy diapers are definitely a big change! I will take changing a girl diaper any day over a boy one.. eh. He also doesn't like his car seat much at first, but luckily the car knocks him out and keeps him asleep even once we get out.
Extra Updates: Everything is moving right along! He luckily doesn't seem to have the massive reflux puke like Tilly did, but he does spit up some here and there. I think he might have a TINY bit of the reflux issue since as soon as he lays flat he gets really deep hiccups and the growling/grunting up his chest like she did. For this reason, we've been using the rock n play again for night time sleep and I try to lay him flat when I can for naps to get him somewhat used to it. I am hoping the symptoms stay minimal like they are.
Even though he looked just liked Tilly at birth (and still has a lot of her baby features) I think he looks SO much like Lance. And since Tilly looks just like me, I don't think our children will look too much a like as he gets older haha. Speaking of Ms. Priss, even though her behavior is pretty testy and insane these days, she is doing great with him. She always wants to know where is and immediately starts bossing me around as to what I need to do to soothe him once he starts crying. She is a great big sister!
It's so crazy to think we ever didn't have him around. On one hand I can not believe he is already a month old, but on the other it seems like a lifetime ago I had him. It's so much fun having a sweet snugly little boy thrown in the mix and I can't wait to see his personality develop as he grows, and finally starts to wake up! haha We love you Ivor!
And some pictures!!
One of my friends had her baby boy the day before us and we actually were put in rooms right beside each other. What a crazy coincidence!
Meeting her baby brother for the first time.
My brother, Jason, and his girlfriend, Claire, were able to come visit and meet their new nephew!
Already torturing my children with matching outfits!! haha!
and for fun....
