I cannot believe a month has already passed since baby Conley was born. This boy is a chunky monkey which is totally different than his older brother who was at the bottom of the percentiles until he reached a year old. Conley at 3 weeks weighed 10 pounds and 4.5 oz! He had also grown in height to 21.5 inches which puts him at 95% in weight and 75% in height. Breastfeeding is going great (obviously since he's Mr. Chunky), and he's a much better latcher than his brother.
We have good nights and bad nights. Some times he sleeps for long stretches, and other nights he can't sleep because he's dealing with gas. He has a strong neck already and has been lifting his head since the day he was born. I seriously think the kid would try to climb you if you let him with those frog legs. His hair is thinning, and it might come back blonde. His eyes are a dark blue, but I expect that to change. We'll see though!
He loves to be cuddled and held, and most of the time I can change his diaper without a scream fest. However, if the boy is hungry watch out for that blood curdling scream---he'll let you know it is feeding time now!
We love this guy so much and can't wait to see our boys grow and play together. I hope they are best friends :)
LOL to his appetite! He's such a round ball of cuteness!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! He's obviously a very, healthy boy. (Nursing made my little boy "chunky" too, but how can you resist squeezing those little legs!) Enjoy these very special moments!
ReplyDeleteHas it really been a month already. Isn't it crazy how they can be so different from their siblings. I'm glad that nursing is going well!
ReplyDeleteHe is such a cutie. Amazing how one can be so different from the next, huh?
ReplyDeletei can't believe he's already ONE month! time flew by! he is such a cutie!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that little cutie is getting big fast. My little girl was 11lbs 5oz ... at 8 weeks' I had been calling her a chunk. We humbly relinquish the crown! :) Your little guys will be best buds before you know it!
ReplyDeleteLove him! I can't believe he's a month old already! I
ReplyDeleteso darn cute! I can't believe it's already been a month! I hope his gas settles down soon! Have you tried Colic Calm? It helps with all sorts of tummy issues and helped us out so much!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's certainly got some cute chubby cheeks! I wish I could give him a big hug! I'm glad he's a big eater though :) Has it really already been a month?!?

ReplyDeleteHappy 1 month, Conley!!!
Gah! One month already?? How did that happen?
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie!!
he's such a cutie. happy 1 month to Conley (can't believe he's one month old, already). glad to know that nursing is going so well.
ReplyDeleteah, I love the chunky monkey babies! all 3 of mine were (smallest was 9 lbs, 3 oz). can't believe how a month has flown by - well, at least for us.
ReplyDeleteWow... This month has certainly flown by!! He is so adorable, Natalie!! :) Happy 1 Month, Conley! Hope you all are doing well... Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions on breast feeding, things you know now that you wish you'd known prior to starting? I'm pregnant and I want to be able to breast feed. Many of my friends have told me that it can be painful and frustrating.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Gripe Water for the gas? It worked wonders for D. Or bicycling his legs and rubbing his tummy in circles? My DH was the toot whisperer when D was little and he'd spend so much time rubbing her little belly to get the toots out.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow a month already is right! That did go fast. And he is such a cute chubby guy!!
ReplyDeleteAWWW. he is so cute!!!! big boy :) my little one just turned a month!!
ReplyDeleteCant believe he is one already. He is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteConley sounds so much like Gavin. Isn't the chunk to die for? Gavin is now 20 lbs at 4 months. Double-you-tee-eff!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear breastfeeding is going so well! Here's hoping that gas settles down soon.
Awww so beautiful!! What a cute little chunky monkey he is :)
ReplyDeleteWow 1 month? Happy 1 Month Conley!! xo
Time is flying...happy one month!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 1 Month (probably almost 1.5 now!) He's just handsome and i'm glad to hear he's eating so well!
