Today was Dylan's one month check-up with Dr. Hitchcock and it was also the day that he started to "coo". It is fun to hear him make new noises. He started saying "ahhhh" and Brooke insisted that this was his first word : )
Dylan's appointment with Dr. Hitchcock went well. He is doing great, and growing really fast! He weighs 8 pounds 6 ounces and is in the 10-25th percentile, which is up almost 1.5 pounds in two weeks. He is 21.5 inches and is in the 50th percentile for height. I think we are going to have an average sized baby for once! Dylan has a little baby acne and cradle cap, but his skin looks pretty good for a newborn. He was not a fan of the training nurse practitioner that examined him, but immediately calmed down for "Dr. Bill". We kind of stumbled into seeing him and he is such a great doctor. He is so natural with babies, friendly, and thorough. It helps that he is a father of 5! Dylan's eyes are still blue-gray and now we are starting to get some comments about the red in his hair. Perhaps he will be a red head like his big brother.
Dylan is definitely "waking up". Those first 3-4 weeks were amazing. He was just a sleepy little thing that rarely cried. Now he cries when he is hungry or wants to be held. He loves to be held and this calms him down right away.
