Tiger is One Month Old, or, What's Going on With Tiger in November


Tiger was one month old on November 11, 2016.  I had forgotten how very quickly that first month passes!  Tiger is such a sweet, easy baby, just like his big brother before him.  We are very lucky in that regard, to have pretty laid-back babies.  When Tiger is crying, there's almost always an identifiable reason for it and, truthfully, he doesn't cry (like, real screaming crying), very often.


At one month old, Tiger:
  • Has started smiling!  Melt my heart! (But, alas, haven't been able to capture it on camera quite yet.)
  • Eats every 3-4 hours and is not picky about formula types/brands, which is helpful.

  • Sleeps a lot, like most newborns.  Sleeps the best when he's swaddled - our little burrito baby!  When people ask Jones about the baby his standard reply is "he sleeps a lot" - ha!
  • Loves bath time!  If he's upset or fussy and you put him in a nice warm bath, he calms down right away.  He does, however, get upset when you take him out of the bathtub - he is definitely not a fan of being cold!
  • Loves to be held, and loves for you to talk to him and sing to him while he's being held.  He just looks and looks at you while you're doing it.

  • Weighs less than 8 pounds, and is firmly in newborn sized clothes.
  • Takes a pacifier sometimes, but isn't super attached to it.  It seems to work best when he's really tired or really hungry.  If he's not either one of those, he really could care less about it.

  • Is so precious to our whole family!
