Changes

It's amazing how quickly babies change. He's getting bigger everyday. I love those cheeks!


We moved Blake from his bassinet into his crib because this is his favorite sleeping position. He would hit the sides of his bassinet when he tried to sleep. So he's sleeping in his own room now.

Ear piercing sounds

Much to my dismay, Blake learned to scream today.

Or else his lungs are more fully developed and can make louder sounds, I don't know for sure. But I never knew a pacifier falling out of his mouth could be so traumatic.

1 month

Blake turned 1 month last Wednesday and he had his doctor's appointment on Friday. Everything looks good. He had good weight gain, he now weighs 9 lbs 2 oz. That weight is in the 36th percentile. His height (20.25") is in the 16th percentile and his head circumference is in the 27th percentile. So he's on the smaller side.

He has been out and about all over town. He has met Aaron's co-workers at Dick's and mine at Fifth Third. He's also been to the mall, Target, Kroger and a restaurant. And last weekend he went to the butterfly exhibit at Krohn Conservatory with his cousin Harrison. He has slept through the majority of his adventures so far. It's still a big ordeal for me to go out with him, but I'm getting used to it. I feel like it takes hours in order to get out the door, but he's such a good baby that I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon.

Blake has started tracking objects with his eyes. And every once in a while we can get him to smile. I'm looking forward to him interacting more and more with us.
