One Month!

Quinn,
I cannot believe you are already one month. It has gone by so so quickly and I already want it to slow down!! Your Daddy and I love you to pieces and cannot imagine life without you now. We cannot wait for the months and years to come to see your amazing personality come to life! 


What you did this month:
- We just moved you into size 1 diapers this weekend, but you're mostly still wearing newborn clothes. You've fit in a few 0-3 month things, but most things are still huge.
- We haven't weighed you since your 2 week appointment so I'll have to do that this week! You were 9 pounds 2 oz. at your appointment (75 percentile)! I have a feeling you're at least 10 pounds now.
-You are nursing like a champ. It has been very easy for us and I am very thankful for that. You have gotten yourself on a good nursing schedule. You nurse every 3 hours during the day and have been going anywhere from 3 to 4.5 hours at night. You've been doing this since day three and it has been great!
-You are still sleeping in our room at night in the pack-n-play. I see no point in moving you to the nursery until you're sleeping through the night. I do not want to walk across the entire house multiple times a night half awake!
-You also sleep great in your pack-n-play during the day.
-You have started getting into a really great eat, wake, sleep cycle during the day. You are always so happy when you're awake!
-You LOVE your swing. You also love your boppy and boppy lounger. You'll hang out in all three until you get hungry! You'll sit in your bouncy seat for a little bit, but start crying fairly quickly. We tried the bumbo today, but you were NOT a fan. 
- You are really alert when you're awake. You stare at everything and make us laugh at how hard you concentrate.
-You can sleep through the loudest noises, but will wake at the quietest things. I can run the vacuum and you don't budge, but you're awake instantly if I pop my fingers...too funny!
-You will take a pacifier every now and then. We've tried several kinds, but only want your green gum drop paci. You would much prefer to suck your thumb, but we're trying to avoid that. :)
-Tummy time goes pretty well! You usually burp within the first few seconds. :) Your little neck is getting so strong and you try to hold your head up the entire time you're on your belly.
-I found you on your tummy this past week after laying you down on your back. I definitely was not ready for that. You would much rather sleep FACE DOWN on your belly. I don't let you do that unless I'm right beside you.
-You only cry when you're hungry. I usually get to you before you get upset, but you let us know if I'm even two seconds late. You love to eat! :)
-You get the hiccups ALL.THE.TIME. You seem to be OK with them thankfully and very rarely get upset from them. 
-You are a very smiley baby. Your first real smile was around 3 weeks!
-You do pretty well in your car seat and have been several places with Mommy - Target, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Chickfila, Brusco's, etc. 

A few things that happened on your one month birthday:
-Taylor Swift won entertainer of the year at the ACMs.
-The Hog's head football coach was in a motorcycle accident.
-The high temperature was 84 degrees (very hot for this time of year).
