At 1 month, Brice is...
-Nursing all the time- every 45 to 90mins- with cluster feeds before bed. He had his first bottle on a week ago and has been doing well with them.
-Sleeping for a 3 hour stretch and then 1.5-2 hour stretches at night. He's up a lot!
-Sort of on some kind of schedule. His typical day (right now) includes waking up between 7 and 8am, hanging out for while, taking a few cat naps before taking a long afternoon nap (like 2-6pm), waking up to nurse just as Mommy is sitting down to dinner, playing with Chase and reading with the family before Chase's bedtime, and then spending time with Mommy and Daddy and cluster feeding before going to sleep between 10 and 11pm. He typically wakes up at 2am, 3:30am, and 5:30, but those times and the length that he is awake varies from night to night.
-He's done so-so with the binky. He seems to like it, but has instances of being
super-hungry when it comes out. So it's a work in progress.
-His body had pretty much finished the newborn peeling by 3 weeks, but then his
cradle cap started. Brice is now going through puberty and old-age all at once: He's
losing his hair and his hairline is receeding, plus he's got baby acne. I
thought he might get away with just four pimples on his cheek but it's all over
his cheeks now.
-Mommy is still dressing him mostly in newborn clothes, but he's getting too long for many of them. He fits in the 0-3 month clothes, but Mommy doesn't want to rush his growing up!
-Smiling sometimes and starting to make eye contact. (Smiles aren't necessarily at a person, but they are a start!)

-Moving! I'm not sure I did this justice in the last
post. This boy moves! He moves all over the co-sleeper, holds his head up and
throws it around when we're holding him, cannot go in the swing because he
throws his boy around, and yesterday he rolled onto his back during tummy time. Taking pictures was a challenge....
-Doing okay with tummy time...
-A beautiful, sweet boy:
