1 Month

Hunter turned one month old last Wednesday. That first month sure did fly by. I took Hunter to the doctor for his check-up on Wednesday as well. He is now 9 pounds, 4 ounces, which is the 50th percentile. I was just so excited to see Hunter on the growth chart, as Peyton was always less than the 5th percentile. Hunter gained 1 pound, 3 ounces in just two weeks. He eats like a champ! He's also 22 inches now, which is the 75th percentile. That means that he's grown a whole inch since he's been born. And finally, his head circumference was in the 25th percentile. In other news, the pediatrician said that he is doing great. He's very healthy and can track objects with his eyes very well. Hunter had to get a heel prick so that the doctor could get some blood for the PKU test. He didn't mind that much. However, when he had to get his one shot, he turned fire engine red as soon as she stuck the needle in and didn't take another breath until the needle was out of his thigh a few seconds later. He only cried for a minute or two after that though. What a trooper.
