The first month

Height & Weight: 20 inches and more than his birth weight that's for sure!

Eating: Every 2-3 hours during the day, every 4 hours at night

Sleeping (naps): Hunter usually takes a good nap in the AM and PM. I am working on getting on a schedule with this but it's tough!

Sleeping (at night): Usually 4 hours of sleep then up every 3.  I probably average about 6 hours a night sometimes including waking up for an hour to feed sometimes not :) Mostly "good" nights of sleep but occasionally we wake up at 4 am and don't sleep much after that!

Clothing:  Hunter still fits in his newborn clothes but we have been "breaking out" the 0-3 month and 3 month clothes also as it has been pretty chilly some days and I have a lot of footed one piece suits in those sizes.

New this month: Well, this is his first month, so fun things are this past week (and week 5 as I write this) he has been much more awake and noticing his surroundings.  He sleeps a little less during the day.  He has a newfound love for ceiling fans.

Nicknames: Little buddy, little dude, little man.  Creative I know.  My dad called him fussbucket last night.

Hunter likes: Being outside, listening to the birds, staring at ceiling fan, the vibrating newborn lounger chair (that ran out of battery power today! oh no!), bathttime

Hunter dislikes: Any shirt/outfit that goes over his head.  dirty diapers (and iI'm talking ANY tiny bit of mess), being hangry.

4 days compared to 6 weeks!

How's mama feeling: Wonderful.  I get naps on days I am tired when my mom or Forrest hold Hunter.  I am so grateful to be Hunter's mama and I consider each day a blessing.
