My sweet boy was a month old last week (Aug 19th) so here's the catch up.
Stats:
Wt: unsure - no doc appt at 1 month - i estimate somewhere around 10-11 lbs!!!
(Ruby Belle was only 8lbs 1oz at 1 month!)
Ht: again unsure
Beckett is quite different from Ruby Belle...and SO am I! ha! I've become a little more relaxed (i would classify myself as CRAZY and OCD with Ruby Belle)
He's just more laid back.
*eats 8 times a day (was eating almost 6 oz at some feedings until i realized that this was NOT normal, so I did some research and think we were "over-feeding" him). SO, now we're at 4-5oz usually 7 times a day.
*getting breastmilk, but i'm exclusively pumping (i only let him nurse for 2 days! I loathe breastfeeding, so pumping is best for both of us!)
*has reflux (diagnosed at birth) so takes meds for it, but doesn't spit up anywhere close to what RB did!
*already outgrown his newborn clothes
*wearing size 1 diapers
*sleeps anywhere from 3-4 hrs at a time at night
*naps several times a day (like all babies!)
*practices tummy time at least once a day...not our favorite, but not terrible either...normal for all babies!
*he's a strong boy!! and a big boy!! I predict he'll be doing a few things a little sooner than Ruby Belle did...but WHO knows?!
So, far we are loving every sleepless minute of him!! (and are looking forward to that first night he sleeps more than 3-4 hrs!! ha!)

Hayes never took more than 3.5 oz of breastmilke in a bottle for the whole first year. Glad you did some research - you'd be pumping like crazy keeping up with 6 oz at a time! :)
yeah, i couldn't remember RB taking anywhere near that much that early!!! ha!! guess i was a little crazy for the first few weeks with Beckett!!! glad i researched it, too before it was too much of a habit!!
