1 Month

I know everyone says this but, I cant believe it has already been a month! It has been a pretty eventful month so that could be why we went so fast.

So here is some other fun things about you at 1 month:
Weight:  6 lb 8 oz. (Still smaller then me when I was born!)
Length: 18 in.
Clothing Size: Preemie size up to 7 pounds
Nicknames: Q, Squid, Baby
Food: Milk- You eat everyone 3 hours. You are pretty demanding too. If you get too hungry you get ravenous and shake your head when we try to feed you. Since you were a Preemie, the doctors told us not to give you a bottle. So we finger feed you. We have you suck on our finger and then we have a cool syringe that we fill with milk. You have gone from needing 3 syringes to only needing 1! Thats because you are breastfeeding better so we dont need to supplement you.
Sleep: You only fall asleep being held, and when we put you down in your bassinet you will wake up pretty soon. You sleep for about 1.5 hours, and then wake up hungry.
I Love...: Being held! You are not happy unless you are being held. If you are not being held you are crying which leads to screaming. It makes is SUPER difficult for me to sleep and work. I think I am going to go out and buy a Moby Wrap though- that way I can hold you and have both of my hands free. Hopefully that will help
I Hate...: Your carseat and the car. Anytime we put you in your carseat you scream, and you are inconsolable. You will cry/scream the entire car ride until we take you out of your seat.
Trips: Flew to St. George for Thanksgiving
It was funny when...: You make the funniest face when you cry. It looks like the Scream Ghost. You put both of your hands by your face and pull down. We feel bad that you are crying, but it is the funniest face so we do laugh at it. We have tried many times to get this as a picture. So far we have come close but are not quite there yet. Hopefully soon.
Firsts: You had your first Halloween- you were a pumpkin. Celebrated your first Thanksgiving, first airplane ride, and first time to Vegas and St. George! 
Other facts: You only smile when you are done eating or falling asleep. You are starting to see Mom and Dad, and can start to follow ups, but we haven't been able to get you to smile AT us. We cant wait for that to happen! You can also hold your head up and push off of us. You have actually been able to do this since you were born. The nurses couldn't believe you could already hold your head up.
