Over a Month Old, ALREADY?!

No, No, NO.  I don't want my little baby boy to grow up.  I don't want my baby boy to grow up.....

Do you think if I repeat that enough my wish will come true?  I only wish!  Well, Ryan really turned one month old 11 days ago (August 1st) but we had his month follow-up appointment with the pediatrican today.  I was shocked at how big my baby is already!  He was 8 pounds, 5 ounces at birth and 21 inches long.  Now today at just shy of six weeks, he is 11 pounds, 10 ounces and 23 inches long!!  What a big boy!  He ranked 80% for weight, 90% for height and a whoomping 30% for head circumference.  Thankfully I don't think his head looks as small as it sounds like it is!  Ha,ha.

Already at one month old, Ryan has changed so much.  He sleeps less.  He has started looking at us and following with us eyes and smiling and cooing a little.  The pediatrican was impressed with his strength in holding his head and even standing with his legs.  I fall more and more in love with our little guy every day.. and his big brother and sister still seem to love having him around too!
