Miles at One Month

With Mom and Dad both on maternity/paternity leave for six weeks, Miles has been one busy baby. In order to keep our sanity, as well as keep big sister Ella entertained, we’ve tried to get out of the house to do something each day. As Miles was born on the first day of Fall, it is a perfect time of year to be outside doing Fall things!

At Miles’ one month appointment, he weighed 11 pounds, 5 ounces, was 21 inches long, and had an impressive head circumference of 15 inches. Miles is happiest when he’s eating or being pet by Ella. Miles is most upset when he is gassy or hungry. He sleeps 2-3 hour chunks, but nighttime is usually 1-2 hr stretches. Because Miles poops so frequently, he’s battling a pretty bad diaper rash that won’t go away. Overall, Miles is a pretty relaxed baby who doesn’t scream during every diaper/clothes change (eh em, Ella).

Miles has also had lots of visitors excited about meeting him, especially his Grandma L. He happily falls asleep in their arms. Miles even spent a few hours with Shannon while Mom and Dad went to a private Golden Knights practice and Dad got to meet the players including Marc Andre Fleury! He also spent an entire day with his sister at Miss Janet’s while Mom and Dad got massages and went out to lunch.
