One Month Checkup

Austin went to the doctor on Wednesday for his one month checkup. He weighed 10 pounds 3 ounces! That means he went from the 25th percentile at birth to the 75th percentile now. I thought that sounded like an awfully big gain but Dr. Jabir says he's doing "really well." He is 22 inches long (3.5 inches longer than at birth). Austin had to get his second hepatitis shot, which of course did not make him happy, but I think he was actually just as upset when we pulled the bandaid off his leg later. He is a resilient baby--nothing phases him for long.

Austin's Gran (Zach's mom, Becky) came to town yesterday so he is now enjoying another pair of loving arms, and his great-aunt Debbie is arriving this afternoon. So much love for our little guy!

Yeah, I always request no band-aids! Their little skin is just too tender and they never bleed for more than a minute anyway.
