Andrew had his one month check up this morning with our favorite Dr. W! The good news is Mr. Andrew was given a raving review and is one healthy little dude. Or should I say, not so little dude! He has grown like a weed in the three weeks since we last saw Dr. W! He gained over 2 1/2 pounds and grew 1 1/2" in three weeks! Craziness! Dr. W said that he is exceeding expectations for weight and height gain and that he's doing superb. Love it! Now if only we could get into a good sleep routine at night. He will sleep 2 or 3 nights in a row for 6 hours, but then the next night he will wake up every three hours. Last night was one of those every 3 hours kind of night...yawn! Really though, I can't complain. He's such a good and sweet baby. He really only cries when he's hungry or has a sore tummy. Other than that he's pretty content! Thank goodness! :)
So Andrew's stats as of today:
Weight: 9 lbs 10 oz. (50%)
Height: 23 1/4" long (97%)
Head Circumference: 37 cm (25%)
On a funny note I looked up his weight for length percentage...he isn't even on the chart! He's so skinny for his length! Guess he's going to take after Gray Gray...we yet again have another long and lean baby!
As compared to his sisters at their one month well visits:
Caroline (at 6 weeks)
9 lbs. 1 oz.
22 3/8" long
Katherine
9lbs. 6oz.
21 3/4" long
The girls went with me to the doctor's appointment and they were so funny. Caroline was per her usual self and just played with the toys all in her own little world while Katherine wanted to watch everything that was going on and talked to Andrew the entire time. It was so sweet. She loves to care for other people and loves everything to doctor does...maybe we will have a doctor on our hands in the future. ;) Of course Dr. W was quite interested in Katherine's broken arm. She sure does get a lot of attention with a bright blue cast! ;)
Adios until next time! :)
