Andy had his 5-week appointment today. He weighed in at 13 lbs. 1.8 oz. (The nurse said, "Hello, big boy!" as soon as the scale clearly indicated he'd be over 13 lbs.) He measured 23.5 inches, although he was very squirmy, so the length measurements may not be entirely accurate. That said, last week Andy was wearing 3 month clothes, but when he hit one month old I swapped them out for his 3-6 month outfits. So he has definitely grown in length as well as in width. In any case, the nurse practitioner proclaimed him a very healthy, strong baby.
After only a little thought, Andy agrees.
This past week we went to the playground, Andy accompanied me to a board meeting, and Matt had a program at another playground. We also had some friends visit Sunday evening. Andy slept through most of those things, although he was awake for the two toddlers terrorizing the toys on Sunday. He needed a nice relaxing bubble bath after that to calm down before bed!
