We made it -- One Month!!

We had our one month appointment this week. Beckett certainly is a strong, healthy, little guy. Here are the stats:

Weight -- 11 lbs 5 oz
Length -- 23 1/4 in

Head circumference -- 40 cm


Beckett is in the 90th percentile or greater for each of the categories. According to the doctor, Beckett is the size of an average 3 month old. He said that an average baby should be gaining about 1/2 oz -1 oz per day. Considering this rate, Beckett should have gained about 24 ounces since his 1 week appointment. However, he has gained 45 ounces... Almost double the norm!! The kid is definitely not starving.


Now, since he is over 11 lbs we were told he is big enough to sleep through the night. Stay tuned for the update on that.

Beckett looks like he's saying "I'm waiting for my friend Baby Cipolla to show up so I can show him/her how to be such a good baby...actually so we can figure out how to get what we want faster...Tag Team!"
