1 Month

I can't believe it has been 5 weeks since we welcomed baby Tredd to our family. He has been such a good baby so far. I hav been trying to establish a routine with 2 kids & making sure that everyone, including Austin, is getting enough attention. I didn't realize how exhausting that can be. I have managed to get both Jhett & Tredd to nap at the same time so that I can get some shut eye as well. That nap has helped me keep my sanity but has also taken my time away from blogging & projects. So I am a bit behind. Jhett is doing so much better with Tredd but still has a jealousy tantrum a couple times a week. Each day brings a new challenge & adventure. I just have to try to tell myself I may not accomplish all that is on my list of things to do & that is ok.

Here is the picture I chose to send as an announcement of birth.

Tredd Darin Udall

We took that picture as well as these when Tredd was 10 days old.

Tredd had his 1 month check up 9/16. He did great! Didn't cry at all during the examination & didn't cry much when he got his shot. I also can't believe how fast he is growing. I must admit I am not a huge fan of this newborn stage. I know I will regret wishing he would grow just a little faster. But I can't wait for him to be at the stage where he smiles & giggles. He is trying so hard to hold his head up on his own & does great at tummy time. He is currently eating 4 oz every 3 hours during the day & will go 4-5 hours at night.

Stats:

Weight 10.4 50%

Length 22.75 90%

Head 14.75 25%

I also took a few pictures with Tredd. I realized I only had 2 pictures of me & him together & it was when he was first born.

Like I said earlier, tantrums are slowing down & jealousy isn't happening every second of the day anymore. Jhett is showing more interest in Tredd & wants to play & help with him. These are days I cherish!

I LOVE being a mom to these two!!

Are they not just the cutest things ever?!?! I am so lucky & so blessed!
