One Month Old Today!

I'm so sorry I have been horrible about posting the past two weeks. We are still in an adjustment period and I am trying to figure out how to budget my time on certain things with a baby around!

Cameron is one month old today and is definitely developing his own little personality! As of Monday (July 20th) he weighs 5lb 9.5oz! He gained 9.5oz in one week which the doctor said is a great weight gain! He is awake and alert a good amount of time now, especially in the afternoon and evenings! He loves to be talked to and looking at our faces! He also likes to dance! (This involves mommy and daddy moving his arms and legs around). Lately he has also been smiling more. I have yet been able to get a good one in a picture!

Due to his impressive weight gain in the past two weeks, he is now out of his preemie clothing and diapers and into the newborn size! This means that mommy got to go shopping.. woohoo!! Today I picked up the pictures we had taken when he was 2 weeks old. They turned out pretty good even though he slept through them. We couldn't get him to wake up for the life of us.

Tomorrow will be Cameron's first long day trip. I have my follow up appt. with my OB in Avon and Cory and Cameron will be joining me. We are also going to one of my friend's houses in Brownsburg to visit with her and another friends newborns! Cameron will be meeting his new friends, Andrew and Blake, for the first time! Andrew was born to my friend Sarah on June 2nd and Blake was born to Nicole on June 29th! It will be interesting to see the boys next to each other because last I hear, Andrew was over 10lbs now and Blake was 8lb when he was born and is probably up around 10lbs. Cam is going to look like a shrimp compared to them! It should be a great time and I can't wait to visit with everyone.

I have added some pictures from the past two weeks for everyone to see. You can definitely tell that he is bright eyed and ready to take on the world!

Week 2!

Cameron is 2 weeks old today! In the past week, he has because much more active and alert. We had two weight checks. On Wednesday, he weighed in at 4lb 8oz which was only one ounce less than his birth weight. Today when we went for his 2 week Well Baby appt. he weighed 4lb 11oz! The doctor was very happy with how he is developing and growing and expects him to be 5lbs or more when we go back next Monday for another weight check!

Cam and I are getting much better at the whole nursing thing. He is latching much better and my meetings with the lactation consultant at his pediatrician's office have been very helpful. The past day he has been wanting to eat more often and is now up to about 2oz per feeding. I think he is going through a growth spurt which I am very excited about.

Also during the past week he has spent quite a bit more time awake. His eyes are focusing much better and he loves to be talked to. He will just look at you when you talk to him and make little noises like he is trying to respond. I have been trying to introduce him to different sensations as well. He loves the feel of silk and gets excited when you blow lightly in his face.

This Wednesday, Cameron is getting his first professional photographs taken. I want to get them done while he is still so tiny! Other than that, we don't have a lot planned for this week. I have added some pictures below of our handsome little boy! We are so in love with the little guy and can't wait to watch him grow!
