McKinnon: 1 month

Oh, little Mack, how i love you so :-)

Mack had his one month check a couple of weeks ago. But for some reason (couldnt be sleep deprivation, could it!?) I've not been great at blogging lately.

One month stats:
Length- 22.3 inches (71%)
Weight- 11lbs 6.7oz (82%)
Head Circumference- 15.1 inches (51%)
Up until his one month birthday, Mack was eating every 3 hours around the clock.
He on occasion would projectile vomit (eww) and because of this, the Dr recommended stretching his feedings out to every 4 hours. So we've worked to move there slowly and seem to be doing great with it :-)
He's a big eater, taking in on average 30oz a day, even at a month old.

He is napping well. Sometimes still in the bassinet in his pack and play but mostly in his bed.
He loves the miracle blanket!
He smiles occasionally, but i have yet to catch it on my camera!
Mack loves bath time! His little hand finds the faucet handle almost nightly and it appears he is holding on for dear life! ha!
Dr Messick says that we need to strive for an hour of tummy time a day. I find that difficult to do with a baby who doesnt stay awake for very long, but we're working on it. I'd say he gets about 40 min a day and it shows. He's doing great!
He's a doll baby.

We think we'll keep him :-)
