Will had his one-month “Well Baby” checkup with the Doctor this afternoon.

• He weighs 9 lbs, 10 1/4 oz
• He is 22.5 inches long (re-affirming that his birth length of 17 or 18 inches wasn’t accurate)
• Crossed eyes are normal until after the second month
• Sleeplessness is OK, as long as it’s during the day
• One poop per day is plenty
• Pacifier use is highly recommended – at this age, it gives him something to suck on without overeating, and it’s easier to take away later

The nurse gave him a thorough inspection, rolling him over and about and poking and prodding, and Will is doing just fine. No immunizations today – those will be on his next visit on December 12.

His growth has been, to me, most impressive. He just feels so much bigger and stronger and sturdier than when he was born. He’s getting very good at holding up his head, and has very strong legs.

EDIT:  Looks like Pam beat my post by a few minutes.   Of course, it’s not like she has anything better to do…  ;-)
