4 weeks!

Bauer, it's so hard for mommy and daddy to believe that you are 4 weeks old! In just a few days you will be a month old! :) As Thanksgiving approaches, mommy and daddy realize how thankful we are for you! We love you, sweet boy!!

Here is Bauer's 4 week update!

We're not sure how much you weigh or your new height because you don't have another doctor's appointment until you are 2 months old! At your 2 week appointment you were 8.13lb and 21 inches long! You are still wearing mostly newborn clothes but a few 3-6 month sizes. You love being naked or laying under your play gym in your diaper. You tend to get hot very easily so we like to give you a little time at night to play in the nude! It also calms and winds you down at night and you seem to sleep better! You sleep in your pack and play and you love listening to your "Lammie" that aunt Katy bought you!

You are drinking 3-4 oz of formula at every feeding and you are a hungry boy! You practically try to rip the bottle out of our hands when we feed you and you drink really fast and usually make yourself spit up even though mommy and daddy try to burp you! You hate being burped because you are so inpatient!

You hate being swaddled and you love sitting up on the couch like a big boy! You love music and when we play your grandma's CD of lullabies for you! You are grabbing onto things a lot...mostly my tank top straps and hair. You're very strong and have a great grip! You get the hiccups constantly and you love to toot!

A couple nights a week we give you a bath! You LOVE bath time except when we wash your hair you get cold! We make sure to keep you nice and warm! Daddy even brought a little heater to plug into the bathroom when we bathe you and it keeps everyone warm :)

Your current nicknamee given to you by your daddy is "Zubba!" You love Daddy and every night you play together and he spends quality time with you! You are starting to smile and laugh a little more and daddy usually brings that out of you!

You are such a JOY! Even though you haven't given us much sleep...we think we'll keep you for a while! Happy one month birthday to our sweet son! :)
