Cole - 1 Month

Cole is one month old today!  The days and months passed quickly with Jackson, but they are passing even more quickly this time around.

Corey and I took him in for his monthly check-up today and he's doing great.

• He weighs 11 lbs, 10 oz. (90%) - up from 9 lbs, 11 oz. at his 7-day checkup, and 9 lbs. 10 oz. at birth
• 22 3/4" long (95-98%) - up from 21.5" at 7 days, and 21" at birth
• 15 1/3 head circumference (90%) - up from 14 1/4 at 7 days

He's been sleeping well over night and has put himself on a fairly consistent schedule overall.  He eats every 2.5-3 hours during the day, with some awake time typically after each feeing (he still has some tired days where he prefers to go right back to sleep after eating).  He has his last feeding around 8 or 8:30 p.m. and is typically asleep around 9ish (though he's woken up and had to be rocked back to sleep a time or two the last few nights).  Like clockwork, he's up around 2 a.m. to eat again, and then again around 5:45 a.m.  He then goes back to sleep until about 8.

He continues to be a happy and calm baby, and we're looking forward to watching him grow and develop over the next month.
