First Month





I'm a little late, but Knox's first month although challenging at times has been great! He fits right in and the kids adore him. Grayson was a little concerned about hurting him in the beginning, but now feels more comfortable with him. The first two weeks of his not being able to nurse were a very tough time for me. That will have to be my next blog post. After he turned 2 weeks the nursing took off and his weight and height go to show for it at his one month check up. He was 10 lbs. 11.4 oz. and 23 3/4 inches long. 75% for weight and 97% for height. He's going to be a tall one! The dr was very pleased, b/c the last time we were there at his 6 day appt, he was 7 lbs. 14 oz. He got one shot and HATED it! Poor baby! He's a good baby and is sleeping so well at night. His first stretch is the longest and we usually get 5 hours. A few times he has given us 6 or 7, which have been wonderful! He is not that much of a napper, which gets hard sometimes. We are still swaddling him and that seems to help him sleep at night.
