Felix is 1 month old


Our sweet little Felix is already 1 month old. Where has the time gone? I am very much enjoying this time getting to know our new little man. 
  • Felix's personality is pretty easy going. He is not usually very fussy unless he needs to burp or has gas. He enjoys being held but is also content swaddled and laying in the rock 'n play or his bouncy seat. He tolerates kisses and hugs from his brother and sister very well.
  • He still sleeps for a lot of the day. However we haven't experienced any significant night wake time (knock on wood!). 
  • He has been a pretty good sleeper from the start. The first night home from the hospital he slept for 7 hours straight. Mom and Dad really needed that good sleep too! However that was an anamoly. He typically sleeps for 5 hours and then 3.5 each night. It is a good night if we get up just once at around 2-3am. 
  • Felix has been smiling. I'm honestly not sure when his first smile occurred. It seems almost as if he was smiling from birth. It's been hard to differentiate where his "true" smiles began. I can get him to smile if he's in an alert state and I say "Where's your smile Felix?" with a lot of inflection in my voice. 
  • As of four weeks old he has started to make some "coo" "ahh" and "ah-goo" sounds. They are pretty infrequent so far but he is really trying to talk to me at certain points in the day.
  • Felix eats every 2 1/2 hours during the day.
  • He is still in 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers.
  • He likes his pacifier, which is MAM brand, which is what Hattie also preferred.
  • His eyes are still not their true color yet. They seem to currently be a slate gray color. I assume they will be brown eventually but they are still changing.
  • Felix has curly hair. This has been a bit of a shock. Once it dries it doesn't seem very curly. However, when it is wet and for a few hours after bath time it is curly all over.
  • He also has the sweetest little dimples which I think he gets from his Daddy.
  • At first I thought he looked like Emmett but now I am starting to think he resembles Hattie more.
We are having so much fun with Felix and couldn't possibly love him any more!
