This month Blake started sleeping through the night occasionally! It was so nice, but now he's either teething or going through a sleep regression because he wakes up ALL. THE. TIME. It's hard not to get frustrated! 

He still loves when I sing to him and he's still very ticklish. He laughs and squeals all the time! Blake likes to keep us guessing at which bottles he'll like that day and about when he's tired. One thing is always for sure though: he loves to be held and he loves to walk around with whoever is holding him. 

This month Blake also tried solid foods. He had peas, bananas, applesauce and butternut squash. He liked the peas the most and applesauce is better now that he's had it a few times.

Blake really has grown so much this month!! He talks way more, squeals, giggles and smiles all the time! One time this month I was singing to him and rocking him trying to get him to go to sleep and he just kept smiling at me 😍. He is just the cutest! He is so ticklish and will giggle when I change his clothes 🤣. He rolled from back to front this month as well as front to back and really likes to sit up and stand with our help. He's drinking 7 ounces every feeding (except for at night when he only drinks 4). We just love our little chub-a-wub ♥️♥️.

Blake is three months old already! This month he really started to show more personality. He smiles all the time and we can even get giggles out of him sometimes. He is finally interested in his toys and can be entertained with them for quite a while! Blake also found his two hands, he sucks on them more than ever and will clasp them together and it is so cute! I've abandoned the baby bath seat and have just been laying him in the tub because it's so much easier, and he loves it! He'll kick and splash around and smile at me. Blake is getting so big, and has now experienced alll his firsts of the major holidays. He loved Christmas tree lights and would always look up to the top like he was thinking "wow, how tall is that thing???" He also started sleeping really well at night, going 6 hours straight and sometimes 7! I can't wait to see what new things he discovers and new tricks he learns in the next month!

Tummy time (after a while)

We really do have the chillest little baby! He cries for 3 things: food, sleep and to be picked up after tummy time. This month Blake got to meet all this cousins on my side of the family, and had his first Thanksgiving! He was blessed by his dad on the 30th of November as well, which was so sweet and it was awesome to have the whole family there for it. He's getting so big, and we just love him! 

One Month

Height: about 22 1/4 inches

Weight: 8 lbs 14.9 oz

Our little Blake is one month old!! I can't believe how fast it has gone by. Even though I've never been more tired in my whole life, I wouldn't want it any other way! Isaac and I just love our little man. 

Blake loves to be held by anyone and everyone. He'll sleep okay if I lay him down, but he'll sleep longer if he's held during the day. At night he sleeps for about 3 hours at a time in his crib, which is pretty nice! He likes his play mat and will stare at the animals hanging over his head. He does not like his swing and will cry after about 10 minutes of being in it. He also does not like being dressed or undressed, unless I can get it done fast enough, he gets pretty upset. Blake loves lights and looking around when he's on my chest. Tummy time goes pretty well, but he's usually hungry when we're doing it so it doesn't last too long before he's just over it and ready to eat. Overall, Blake is such a good baby and I am so thankful for him!
