One Month Old

Baby Evan is one month old already!  Man, how time flies!  Pretty soon, we won't be calling him "baby Evan" anymore. (tear!)

He's growing so much and so fast.  Case in point: When we went to his 48 hour check up with our pediatrician, he weighed 8 lbs, 4 oz.  When we went for his two-week check-up, he weighed 10 lbs, 6 oz, meaning that he gained about two pounds in two weeks!  Whoa!  And he keeps on growing!  I think the Blanchers are truly forming their own football team!


He's also getting so strong.  He's holding his head up like a champ and will prop himself up on his forearms for a few minutes before getting agitated.  Also, when he's on his tummy, he will push himself over to his back pretty consistently.  I think it's more out of frustration than skill but who cares!



He's making great eye contact and is tracking movements.  He is also responding well to our voices...he makes great facial expressions!


He eats every three hours and eats at night between 10:00 and 11:00, then gets up around 3 AM, then is up between 6:00 and 7:00 in the morning...not too bad!


He loves to be swaddled, loves his paci, and LOVES to be held.  He's growing to enjoy his baths more and will tolerate tummy time for a little bit before letting us know he's done.  He still has such a sweet disposition but will let us know if he needs something...maybe we'll have another opinionated one in the house!






Happy "one month" baby Evan!  We love you and love watching you grow!
