Today is July 7th and Anderson is 1 month old today! It's amazing how much he has changed in just a month. When he was born he weighed 8lbs 2oz. and he was 20 inches long. At his checkup today he was 10lbs and 22 1/2 inches long! He's in the 75% for his height and 50% for his weight, so he is doing great. Switching to formula when we did was definitely the right move, and the little guy is thriving!In other exciting news, Anderson smiled for the first time ever this morning at his 2:00 feeding. I was so glad that I switched feeding times with Jeremy and I was the one that got to see the first smile! And not surprisingly, his smile looks exactly like Jackson's did as a baby!
Anderson is still on the same feeding schedule, eating 3-4 ounces every 3 hours during the day and getting up once at night. He is holding his head up great and he's really starting to have much more alert times when he just loves to check things out. We've been blessed that he still doesn't really cry, and for the most part he is just a perfectly happy and content baby. The last month has flown by, and we can't remember life before Anderson joined our family! All we know for sure is that Anderson has made life even better!
He's almost a little carbon copy of big brother, so I'm not surprised that he smiles like him. Just so cute. I was so happy when I switched from the pumped stuff to formula. My girl thrived too...and was so much happier because she wasn't starving anymore. It's been quite a month. : )
