Keegan Bryce, how can you possibly be one month old already?
This has been the fastest month of my life.
Maybe it's because it's the second child, but wow this month has flown by!
He is growing like a little weed, and definitely following in his sister's very tall footsteps.
At his 3 week appointment he had already grown 1 3/4 inches!
He is still very skinny but I feel like all I do is feed the boy, so hopefully he will chunk up soon.
My only concern is the amount that he has been spitting up lately.
We are starting to worry about infant reflux.
He spits up 2-3 times between each feeding at least.
Hopefully he will be what is called a "happy spitter" and we won't have to worry about it, but I can't help but worry about having to put him on meds, or having his sweet happy personality take a turn for the worse. (We are really hoping this is just a laundry issue.)
But, for the mean time, he is still such a happy baby.
He is content most of the time, a great sleeper, and rarely cries.
He wakes up typically 1-2 times a night...usually around 1-3 and 4-6 to eat.
He goes to bed with us at night and has been sleeping on a pillow in between us since it's been so cold.
He is already rolling over from belly to back (he started that at 2 weeks...crazy! I guess that's what happens when you overcook em in utero)
We have actually already gotten a few smiles out of this boy too (so early!)
He eats every 1 1/2-2 hours during the day... and I'm feeling like a cow.
How do you possibly forget how time consuming a newborn is between kids?
It's still an adjustment period having the two kids mainly because Keegan is constantly eating.
Luckily Mikenna is so independent and easy, she has been so good at entertaining herself or playing a quiet activity with me while I'm nursing.
We all feel so blessed to have this boy in our family.
If every newborn were this easygoing, everyone would have a million babies.
Happy 1 month my sweet boy!
