One month!

Isaac turned one month old on Sunday! He is growing up so fast and is so BIG already. We took him in for his one month doctor appointment and confirmed that he is over the 10 lb mark! Here are his stats:

Birth: 7 lbs 10 oz
Day 2: 7 lbs 2 oz
Week 2: 8 lbs 6 oz
Month 1: 10 lbs 9 oz

As you can tell by his weight gain, breast feeding is going well. He feeds every 2-4 hours during the day and every 3-4 hours at night. A couple of nights he actually went 5 hours which Nate and I enjoyed. Isaac readily took his first bottle from dad on Sunday; we plan to try again this week and make it a 3-4 times/week routine for now.

In the last week, Isaac's personality has really changed. He is much more alert and I swear I got my first smile from him yesterday (so cute!)! He notices the toys hanging from his swing and makes all sorts of new sounds when spending time chilling on his back. We also started tummy time to build up those neck muscles -- he's doing a great job but not so into that yet. ;)

In addition to becoming more active, he has also become a bit more fussy. His fussy bouts tend to occur mostly during the day versus in the middle of the night. It's made some of the days at home a bit rough for mom! Hopefully he is just reaching his "gassy/fussy" peak that we read can occur at 6-weeks and his fussy times will diminish soon (fingers crossed...).

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the last week:
