T1 at 1 Month
1 Month
Nicknames: Boo, Boo Boo, Boo Boo Face, Grunty Grunterson, PK, P, Buddy
Temperament: You have 4 modes. Cry, sleep, grunt, and squirm.
Things I Could Do Without: Projectile peeing off the changing table, the death scream, consistently waking every two hours at night, puking up half your bottle on me after I spent 30 minutes feeding it to you
Item/Toy We Love The Most: The swing (I think we like the white noise function even more than you do, I can’t sleep without it anymore!)
Item/Toy You Love The Most: The Moby (You love to snuggle right in on my chest)
Things I’m Loving Most Right Now: How sweet and calm you are in the middle of the night, the way you stretch so grandly when we unwrap you from your swaddle in the morning, that one time you slept for 4 whole hours in a row during the night, the way that Burts Bees lotion smells on your skin, Ninja kicks
Things You’re Loving Most Right Now: Nakie time on the changing table, blow dryer on your howdy doody, being held on my chest, bouncing on the birth ball, the “Lion King” move, staring at the sketches of Roman still life scenes we have next to your changing table, talking to your grandparents on the webcam, your mommy

Oh my gosh! Has it been a month already?!?! Amazing Jenna. Congrats a million times over, he is an angel.
1I cannot believe he’s a month old. Love the video. What a cutie.
2Love the squirmy video! I love the 3rd clip. He looks so happy! The lazy eye picture is hilarious.
3So adorable! Ahhh… I love the onesie and all his precious expressions
4OMG Jenna, that picture of him smiling behind the stuffed animal is so cute and that video! I seriously am getting a bad baby fever right now LOL!
5Has it really been one month all ready! He is so precious and animated!
6He’s a month already?
His changed a lot, and yet still the same. There is definitely both of you and TH in his tiny face.
I love the snuggle with the blue giraffe thing picture.
Will you use the same toy to take pictures of him through the months?

Yep! I’ve seen several other mothers use the same stuffed animal for all the month pictures and I really enjoyed watching their children grow using a toy to show the scale.

What a smart and cute idea to use a stuffed animal, I’ve never seen that done before.
Man time is flying by! He is already looking bigger and just as cute! Love the blue stuffed animal thingy! (Not sure exactly what it is, but I love it!) Love all the facial expressions and my favorite is the feet! I love baby feet, especially after a bath and lotion… they just feel so soft and smell so good!
8He is precious Jenna! Already the time is flying by…enjoy every moment of it!
9I told you time flies as baby is growing! He’s already a month!
So completey precious and adorable. Love the onesie and the awesome pictures as usual.
10I can’t believe it’s been a month! He is adorable. I love the video montage - what a great idea!
Just visited my friend who had her baby girl on Monday - ummm…talk about baby fever!! I couldn’t put that baby down!
11WOW!! He’s a month old already?! Time just flew by! He’s gotten so much bigger and still such a cutie! Love all the pics and his little blue giraffe, soon he’ll be bigger than it!
12How sweet! I’m loving the T1 updates; especially with pictures and videos. My favorite part is when he rolls over off the rug, haha. So adorable.
13Oh he is so cute. He looks more like you now. I can’t believe it’s been a month already. My favorite picture is the one of him hiding behind his toy. It’s so cute!
14Wow! A month went by real fast.
What a cutie patootie he is! I love his adorable little cry. I could just “Ooooo” and “Awwww” at him for hours.
15I can’t believe he’s a month old already, either! Love the photo of him snuggling into the giraffe. Such a cutie!
16haha, that was a great ending to the video XD
17Jenna-
He is looking adorable. I agree with everyone else, it doesn’t seem like it has been a whole month already.
So I try to give advice or judge, since I don’t have a baby!!! But I thought I would pass this one thought on, since it happened to me.
My mom used formula for me also, and I kept puking it back up, well it turns out I was allergic to milk/formula so they had give me soy formula. Just a thought I would put out there to think about.

We’ve talked a few times about switching to other options, but he just doesn’t seem to be in pain, just unable to self regulate. I have that same problem when ti comes to food.
Just out of curiosity, do you use Pee Pee TeePees when changing him? I hear they’re very good for keeping mommy and daddy dry when changing a little boy. Here’s a link to some organic cotton ones:

19I am a long time reader, and I am finally delurking
I had to comment on this post, mainly because seeing your little one in that video made me realize how much he looks like your husband.
You are truly blessed with two handsome men in your life, Jenna.
Congratulations and all the best to you and your beautiful family. Please keep us updated on this little one’s growth. Your blog is a true inspiration to me.
20A month already?!?! Wow! Is he a long baby,or does it just look it in the pictures?
21I finally see the likeness to TH that everyone keeps raving about in these photos.
I loved the format of this post, made me wish I did something similar and want to note down more for Talia before I forget.

I thought about doing the standard “long letter to my child” format, but I just didn’t have the effort. I decided a quick summary would be enough to jog my memory when talking to T1 about his babyhood.
he’s so cute! and time flies so fast, already 1 month!
23my baby boy puked up a lot too from birth to 5-6 weeks old. Then, he naturally stopped.
So adorable! Congrats again!
24T1 is so cute. I cannot believe it’s already been a month!
25Wow the time just flies by! Happy one month birthday little man
26Your little man is adorable and I can’t believe it’s already been a month!
Love the sticker on his onesie! Do you mind sharing where you got it??
