1 month!

Saturday December 1st Attison turned 1 month old! 

We went to our one month check up at the pediatrician today - Attison weighs 11 lbs. 3 oz.  He is 22" long, although we aren't really sure about some of his previous measurements because if you look at his growth chart, they aren't consistent in a way that is logical.  We'll write more on this later, because we can log into the online portal of our pediatrician and see the growth charts. 

I'm constantly amazed by his neck strength and how much he likes to cross his little arms and support his head.  We found this weekend that when in the chest carrier, if he is awake, he prefers to have his arms folded in with him instead of out the little arm holes. 

In celebration of turning 1 month old, we are being more consistent with bedtime, set for 8 pm.  I plugged in the monitors tonight and we let the little bugger cry it out for a bit.  It is a weird feeling seeing (and hearing) him cry but actually, the scary part is when the crying suddenly stops.  So I run upstairs to check and see if he is still breathing.  I believe he has finally fallen asleep for good.  Except that pretty soon he will be hungry again, so I'll head up for another feeding and my own bedtime.
