Month One Highlights:
- Jonah pees with great accuracy into his eye on several occasions during diaper duty.
- Jonah goes from a discharge weight of 4 pounds 9 ounces to 5 pounds 11 ounces in three weeks.
- Jonah dons duds {and dipes} in preemie at first and works his way into newborn within the first month
- Jonah seems to be much longer than B man was. The clothes are big around his bod but his long legs seem to stretch out the sizes
- Jonah may or may not have his days and nights confused. He rarely wakes himself for daytime feeding and wakes with constant regularity every 3 hours at night
- Jonah enjoys his first Fourth of July fireworks at “auntie D’s Cabin” and sleeps through the entire show
- Jonah shows signs of a GI intolerance
- Mommy says peace out to Dairy
- Fussy time is from 8 pm to 11ish in the evening
- Jonah makes mucousy stools {no. I do not examine them. Someone else spotted these}
- Jonah shows signs of Reflux
- Starts on Zantac at 3 weeks
- Switches to Prevacid at 4 weeks due to increased issues
- Grunts in sleep
- Mama and daddy see bad reaction after a meal with marinara sauce
- Jonah may or may not be related to elephants. His “baby elephant” noises he makes in the wee small hours of the morning make mama and daddy feel like they’ve wandered into a wildlife preserve. Jonah will soon be making the move to his crib for this very reason.
- Born with a full head of hair, Jonah has begun losing some of his baby hair, thus making him appear even more like an old man
- Jonah rolls over from tummy to back {yes. I’m aware it was likely a fluke but it’s worth documenting for reference on his MENSA application}.
- People frequently question why our kids are so tan as infants. I explain that it’s because we conceived both in Mexico
- People frequently whisper things as they pass by Jonah including “That’s one small baby” or “That’s their whole baby”
- Barrett goes from hating us after Jonah came home to seemingly loving Jonah to pieces. He questions why Jonah isn’t in existing family photos, loves to have Jonah “go places with us” {like we’d leave him at home?} and likes to give him kisses and cuddles
- With one month down and forever to go, Jonah is a little love and we are blessed to have him as part of the Brehm brood
