1 month checkup

We went to the doctor this morning for Charlie's 1 month checkup. Things have been going really well, so we didn't have many questions. The main thing we were wondering about was his weight. I know that he has been eating well and therefore growing, but had no idea how much weight he has gained. We figured he had gained about 2 pounds since birth, which would be around 8 pounds 7-8 ounces. Boy were we off! He weighs a whopping 9 pounds 10 ounces! That's over 3 pounds in a month! What a piggy! He was in the 10% for his weight and now he's in the 50th%. He's catching up. His length is 20.5 inches (18 1/2 at birth), still in the 10% there. Hopefully he won't stay short! We think he has a mild case of reflux, but nothing major and no need for meds at this point. We mainly keep him elevated when he sleeps and that seems to help him sleep for longer periods of time. (I REALLY like this, especially at night!). All in all, a good appointment. Next one is in 1 month.
