Megan at One Month

Megan went for her 1-month checkup on Monday. She now weighs 8 pounds and 3 ounces, and measures 20.5 inches long. Her head circumference is 14.75 inches. Her head is in the 50th percentile while her height is in the 25th. Her weight is just under the 25% mark. Everything looked good and the doctor said she's very healthy.

At 1 Month, Megan...

• Can lift her head and move it from side to side


• Loves bright lights


• Focuses on the person holding her and loves to be talked to


• Has a beautiful smile


• Does not like tummy time but will tolerate it for a few seconds at a time


• Makes chipmunk noises


• Never fails to let you know when it's time to eat


• Loves her big brother, and he adores her too!


• Kicks her feet and waves her arms when playing


• Moves herself all over the bassinet and gets mad when she hits the side (it will be time for the crib soon!)


• Grasps objects for short periods


• Wraps her little finger around your finger and squeezes

My most favorite thing right now is to feel Megan's breath on my skin. She smells so sweet and is so very precious. And I have great joy every time I see Andrew want to love her and help take care of her. He's a great big brother and is such a sweetheart himself. I am very blessed to have the kids I do and love them more than anything else.
