Happy 1 Month Malachi! We are surprised by how strong this little guy his. He has been starting to hold his head up a bit on his own. I am not sure how much he can focus his eyes. He seems to stare at us when we are holding him but doesn't follow an object at all. I've been trying to research what other developmental milestones there are for 1 month knowing he will likely be more like a 1 month old according to his actual due date. We took him to the doctors on Friday and he weighed 6lbs 2 ounces and was 19 inches long! He was circumcised on Friday too so he has been a sore little boy the past two days but doing better today. He is officially out of all preemie clothes and now starting to grow into the newborn. During the day I have Malachi on a 2.5 hr feeding schedule which I have to wake him for to eat every time. Maybe one time a day does he stay up and make it to the next feeding. He is eating 3oz by bottle. He is up to 4 feedings by bottle and 4 feedings nursing each day. At night I try to let him sleep longer and he wakes up himself usually between 4-5hrs one stretch. We love this little guy and are thankful to have him with us though it has been challenging!
