One Month Old!

Maia is officially one month old now! Yay!

She had her one-month check-up today, so I have some stats and such for everyone. She weighed in at 9 pounds 4.5 ounces, so our scale wasn't too far off. And that means she has jumped from the 25th percentile when she was born, to the 61st percentile now! Her head circumerence also increased from being tiny (not even at the 5th percentile) to being average (50th percentile). I think she just had a lot of shaping when she was born and the measurements showed that. Her height has remained the same at 20.5", so she has gone from the 75th percentile to only the 25th percentile. Not sure they measured that correctly, or maybe they were wrong at the hospital. I am not surprised at her becoming more of a shorty, since I am definitely a short person...and Liam was like that as well. But I expected at least SOME change in four weeks. Hmmm. I guess when we take her back for her two-month check-up, we'll see what numbers they get that time.

She was well-behaved at the appointment, only fussing momentarily at a few of the checks, but otherwise pretty happy...even though the room was FREEZING! Everything about her is good, she is healthy and continuing on a good path. We will deal with her gassy-ness as best we can, but the pediatrician said it was okay to let her wake us up overnight, instead of having to set an alarm. YAY! Might mean another half hour or so of sleep...or a few minutes (she is usually fussing right before the alarm goes off, or when it does, never just sound asleep) more likely.

I think I mentioned in a previous post that she will push back with her legs when you stand her on them. She has been doing that a lot today, pretty much standing. It's awesome. Great leg strength. And she is definitely making attempts at talking, making little "ahhh" cooing sounds. So adorable!

Happy One Month!
