1 month stats

We took Andrew in for his 1 month check up and here are his stats:
Weight: 10 lb 12 oz, 65%
Height: 22 inches, 60%
Head circumference: 38 centimeters, 40%

Also, to update, his hair is still as thick as at birth but has faded from black to a dark brown. His eyes are still grey but may be turning brown.

I got a smile!

I elicited the first spontaneous smile I've seen from Andrew today. And it's quite a smile...let me tell you. :) I look forward to more in the future. So far Andrew has been a very mellow, relaxed baby. He doesn't cry much - just when he's hungry. He does a fair bit of grunting as his digestion progresses, but he's often content to sit and watch Mom make dinner or his brother bandy about. When he sits, he is always waving his little arms or looking around actively when awake. He still sleeps about 16 hours a day, so our routine is still eat, poop, get changed, eat, sleep, sleep, sleep, repeat. He's also quite strong and has incredible neck strength for a baby his age and doesn't object to tummy time like his brother. I'll post his 1 month stats soon, but I will say he gained 1 ounce each day from the time he was one week old, so he's growing healthily.
