Jackson and Connor : One Month (actually 5 weeks but close enough)

The boys had their third visit with Dr. Sibila on February 1st and we were told that whatever we were doing -- we were doing right. He was very pleased with everything and gave us direction to let the boys inform us when they were hungry. This has been chaotic but we are starting to figure things out. Connor can go almost 5 + hours in the crib without issue but Jackson is having some tummy problems and needs a little more attention. But, they are only 5 weeks old so we understand.

Stats:

Jackson - 8 lbs 15.5 ounces and 21 inches

Connor - 9 lbs 4 ounces and 21 1/2 inches

It is really hard for 1 month olds to keep their eyes open.
Thanks for trying Connor.

Everybody that sees the boys thinks that Connor is so much bigger but Jackson is only 4 ounces behind. With regard to their weight and length, they have moved out of the newborn diapers and are on to size 1(in case you didn't know --- there is only 1 Sesame Street character instead of 2), are going through their last wear of Newborn sleepers and have moved to the "big boy" bottles since we are aiming for 5 ounces at each feeding except the early morning. Anybody that has fed them has noticed that it almost takes triple the time with the extra ounce but we have to try!!!

The boys are doing so well and have started to get in to some new things like their crib (we are finally getting use out of the nursery) and the swing. They are 2 different personalities. Jackson loves to be held AND spends a lot of time looking around. It is not like he is getting in to much now but it is looking as though he will be an energizer bunny like his mom. Like his dad, Connor is more serious and appears to be thinking about things and of course, likes to nap a lot. At times, we wonder if he would ever wake up to eat.
