Cruz-1 month

Since Cruz is almost 8 weeks and 2 months a week from yesterday, I will update you on his 1st month of life!  He came into this world sleeping. . a lot!  You always forget how much they sleep.  He wasn't quite back to birth weight at his 2 week check up so Doctor Markham wanted to see him at 3 weeks and he had gained almost a pound!  Can't wait to see how much the little stinker weighs next week at his 2 month check up!
Thank goodness my mom was here the first month, because Cruz took up a lot of my time!  Having no sort of routine and eating about every 1 1/2-2 hours, he was with Mommy a lot!  His fussy time seemed to be at night or random times during the day.  He figured out night sleep pretty well from the start.  He was pretty consistent the first month being up 2-3 times.  He would wake up between 11-12:30, then again at 3ish, and then between 5-6.  I can totally handle that.  He only had a few nights when he woke up at 3 and decided to stay awake for over and hour and not go back to sleep.  Other than that, I was very lucky that first month with getting enough sleep at night!
He quickly outgrew newborn diapers and moved up to size 1 after a couple of weeks.  At 1 month, he was still wearing newborn clothes, but could fit into 3 month onesies- he has such a LONG torso!  I'm not sure how much he was eating at a feeding; I just know he ate a lot!  Excited to update you on his 2 month stats as he is definitely changing, and growing, and becoming more alert!

Here are a few 1 month shots!
