One Month

Yesterday Mason had his one month doctor visit. He continues to grow normally and is getting good at holding his head up. He loves to cuddle and he "talks" to us more and more everyday. The doctor suspected that he may have some reflux problems so we've made a few changes to his routine. We're going to start supplementing his breast milk with soy formula and we'll add rice cereal to his feedings. We've also elevated his head in the crib and bassinet and he'll now sleep on his tummy instead of his back. He loves being on his tummy to sleep and this change seems to eliminate the need to swaddle him. We'll see how it goes!

He now weighs 11 pounds 9 ounces, is 22 1/4 inches long, and has a head circumference of 15 1/4.
