Alex's 1 month doctor visit

Alex had his 1 month doctor visit yesterday and we got some very good news. He weighs 8 pounds 2 ounces and is now 21 inches long. He is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height. The doctor isn't concerned about his weight gain. He said Alex will probably be long and lean (again - like his dad). We also found out that he can now see color and can focus on objects anywhere from 8-15 inches from him. The doctor told us that Alex won't be able to see both far and near until he's about 6 weeks old. Currently, he only sees things that are near. He's been eating a lot and sleeps about 3 hours in between feedings.

Today, we decided to lay Alex in his crib (for the first time) and see how he liked it. We have a mobile hanging over part of the crib. We turned it on while Alex was laying in his crib to see if it would entertain him. He laid there for over a half hour just watching and cooing at the moving mobile. It was a very exciting moment for the Milovic family:)

Tummy Time!!

Alex is almost 1 month old and he loves spending time on his tummy. He lifts his head and even moves it from one side to the other! Looks like he's pretty strong (like his dad). Here are some pictures of Alex on his tummy.

Alex - 3 weeks old

Alex is now 3 weeks old and is getting bigger by the day. He is more alert during the day now and is sleeping for longer periods at a time. He also has been trying to lift and balance his head.

Bath Time!!

Here are some pictures of Baby Alex after his bath. Right now, he screams and cries during bath time. I'm hoping in time, that will change.

Alex - 2 weeks old

Here are some other pictures we have of Alex as he just passed the 2 week old mark. He's still sleeping alot but is starting to be more more alert during the day.

Christmas 2009

So far, Baby Alex has been a great baby. He hardly cries and sleeps all the time. I'm sure that'll change with time, but for now, the adjustment hasn't been that bad. Here are some pictures of him on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in his new Christmas outfits. The red one was a gift from one of his Grandmothers (thanks Debbie!).
