Keeping up with the Poges: Happy One Month!!

We can't believe our little man is already one month old! We are so lucky to have a happy healthy little boy! Mark or I will try to update at least once a month with his milestones, likes and dislikes and of course his little adventures.

One Month Milestones:

- He no longer cries during tummy time. He seems content to look around and he typically brings his fist to his mouth. Mark and I are afraid that he is going to be a thumb sucker like I was!

- He can grasp objects with his hands. This includes our hands and objects that are dangled in front of him.

- He sleeps well through the first half of the night. (I am knocking on wood!) The second half of his bedtime sleep is a little more rocky.

- He listens to stories during his alert time. His favorite story (aka Mom's favorite story) is To Market To Market. It is a very funny story that is a twist on the Mother Goose version. Clark and I laugh every time we read it.

- He is starting to make eye contact with us for longer periods of time. Since he can now see 12 inches, I believe he recognizes Mark's and my face.

What he loves (note that most of his loves deal with motion):

- Bouncing in someone's arms or in his bouncy chair

- Dancing

- Going up and down stairs

- Car rides

- Hair dryers

- Going on walks

- Swing

- Music

- Sleep Sheep

What he does not love:

- bath time

- being naked

- diaper changes

- University of kansas

Below are pictures from the first month:
