10 Months of Sam

10 / 4 / 1610 / 12 / 16

Welp. Sam is officially 11 months old in two days, so it’s fitting that we only got around to taking his 10 month photos today {ugh}. Seriously though… Miss G is in school from 9 until 3 and you’d think I’d be able to get all sorts of things done during the day, but honestly, most days it feels like I spend the bulk of my time between school runs, attempting to get our bubba to nap, nursing, and preparing meals for our family. Anything outside of that is a bonus. Hence the photos being a month overdue…

6 Months of Sam

Our baby boy is 6 months old. Our baby boy is 6 months old! Goodness, I have to let that sink in just a little. It’s hard to believe that he’s already been here with us for half of a year. It doesn’t seem like that long. Time can be cruel, can’t it? Ugh.

Five Months of Sam

4 / 5 / 164 / 20 / 16

I feel like we’ve had such a big month this month. First off, we seem to have hit a huge turning point as far as Sam’s overall comfort and happiness is concerned, which has been a total game changer.

Sam is 4 Months Old!

3 / 5 / 163 / 14 / 16

Today our sweet Sam is 4 months old {and approximately 1 month old corrected}. Believe it or not, this little milk monster has gone from being 7 pounds 6 ounces last month to being a whopping 10 pounds 2 ounces this month! That means that not only did he gain his entire weight at birth in a single month {eek!}, but he’s also now ON the average percentile curve for his chronological age, which is pretty amazing – I wasn’t expecting him to catch up for months yet! That being said, he is measuring on the very low end of average, but still!! And that’s not just for his weight, but for his length and head circumference also. Grow, baby, grow!

Baby Bubba is 3 Months Old!

2 / 5 / 163 / 4 / 16

Today our sweet little Sam is 3 months old {and 5 days corrected}! He’s currently 7 pounds 6 ounces and wearing newborn sized clothes and diapers. He loves nothing more than being held and snuggled and is a big fan of having his bum patted and his head gently stroked. He currently sleeps most of the day, likes being on his tummy, and can roll from his back to his front when on a mattress or other soft surface. He doesn’t love sleeping all alone and has the saddest little cries and shrieks when his tummy is giving him troubles {which sadly is very often at this point}. He does really well in the car, is super chilled out and content in a warm bath, and has been such a champ with his transition from the NICU to home. It goes without saying that we love him endlessly.
