1 MONTH OLD: A REVIEW
Tobin's passed the 1 month mark and going strong. And I mean strong!
He started out the first 6 hours of his life being oxygenated due to initial rapid, shallow breaths. But from then on he's been good to go in that department.
He's rolled himself over (and not just once either) while on the floor and bed! It's a fight to get a binky in his mouth - his hands and arms manage to get in the way a lot more than they should be able to on a month-old baby.
Now, unfortunately, he seems to be battling a dairy-related allergy. Kristens' sworn-off dairy, and it seems to be helping. He's also on some special new formula that's specifically for food allergies (no, not Soy, that didn't cut it). But he seems to slowly be getting better from that.
He's not sleeping, but we attribute that mainly to the dairy allergy thing. We're hoping he doesn't take after his big bro, and actually decides to sleep...time will tell (and so may the bags under our eyes).
He continues to look a little more like dad. Hair is much darker than Blane's - but that's not to say it's brown per se. It's darker when it's dirty, and lightens a bit when he's clean. I say keep him dirty. ;) His skin has a darker tint to it...I can't remember how long blane's skin was hinting at darkness, but I don't think it lasted long at all. Oh! And Tobin's also got toes that are as long as fingers. Yet another dad trait. Nice.
I think that's all for how. He's doing great, and it's amazing how fast they truly get bigger! It's such a cliche, but it's so true. Here's to great months to come!!!
