Our sweet Eli was one month old a few days ago. I honestly can't believe that. You'd think I'd be used to how fast time passes, since we've just completed Drake's first year. Nope! Eli's first month flew by. His checkup was actually a couple of days before he was one month, and he already weighed in at 8 pounds and 3 ounces. His pediatrician was thrilled, because that puts him in the 10th percentile, and he was born in less than the 5th. His height was in the 25th percentile, and his physical exam was great. We go back when he is two months old. Poor little tyke has a bad diaper rash from peeing/pooping so much. Dr. Dorsey called him a "high volume baby". Meaning he takes in, and puts out a lot. He said it's really hard to keep babies like that from getting a red bottom, no matter how much naked time they get (or diaper changes). We have some really think barrier ointment he recommended, and Eli's bottom is looking better.
Eli's eyes are starting to lighten up a little, and his hair is falling out. He holds his head up like a champ. He LOVES to be worn, in the Moby or Babyhawk meitei. I imagine he's not a fan of his big brother, who is always trying to poke at him. Poor Eli. It's got to be hard having such a young toddler as a big brother.
I think that's about it for an Eli update. There just isn't really much to say about what a one month old is up to:-)
