One month has flown by!! Reed's one month checkup went great! He's 9 pounds 4 ounces now, 22.5 inches, and getting so much bigger! We have a new pediatrician now and I didn't get the percentages but in a nutshell: he's a little less than 50th percentile in weight, about 85% in height, and his head is about average. So far he's a great baby, with the exception of a few fussy phases (week 3 he was pretty fussy and I was the only one who could sooth him). But he overall has great temperament, he's sleeping pretty well at night - waking up for feedings and going right back down to sleep in the co-sleeper. He wakes up mostly every 2-3 hours at night, so anywhere between 2-4 times a night. I've read it gets easier after 6 weeks... fingers crossed. Of course, I don't remember any of this from when Ian was this young.

He reminds me SO much of Ian - they look so much alike! I can tell smiles will be coming soon - I cannot wait! He's becoming more and more alert during the day.
