Brian went to the doctor today for his one month check-up and everything went really well! He was actually awake and alert during the visit (that was after we had to get him undressed to get his weight - he REALLY doesn't like to be naked and cold!). He has gained 1 lb and now weighs 8 lbs 1 oz - he's in the 10-15% for his weight. The nurse thinks the hospital nurses may have measured Brian wrong because he only measured 20 inches today (instead of the 20 3/4 measured at birth), which is in the 8 percentile for his length. His head circumference was 36.7 cm which is in the 25 percentile! Dr. Hedgepath said Brian looks very healthy and is growing at a perfectly normal rate! Brian only had to get one vaccine today and he only screamed out for about 5 seconds before Momma picked him up and then he was fine! He's a pretty tough little boy!
We'll go back to the doctor on April 6th for our 2 month check-up!

I am so glad to hear that Brian is doing so well! Brayden is always in the lower percentiles for weight too. At his 1 month he had gained just over 1 pound...we are lucky to have such healthy, happy little boys!
Love ya!
