One Month

Baby "L" officially turned the calendar to a new month on the 24th of August!  He had his one month doctor visit that day, and really took everything in stride.  Here is a peek at the stats from his first month of life:

*Weight - 9 pounds 10 ounces: Baby "L" has gained 3 pounds and is in the 50 percentile!
*Length - 22 inches: Baby "L" grew 2 1/2 inches and is in the 75 percentile!
*Head - 16 inches: Baby "L" is in the 50 percentile for head circumference!

Other happenings include: more awake time during the days, a very good eater, still a night owl and he smiled for the first time in response to us talking to him!  The other smiles were attributed most likely to air bubbles in his tummy.  We are excited to see what month two brings!  I have one more month until I return to the work world, so keep your fingers crossed that Baby "L" gets the hang of sleeping at night by then!
