I'm starting this blog as a keepsake for Edmund Jack. I also want to put in writing things that may eventually slip my mind. I've decided to share this blog with the people who constantly ask for updates on Edmund. You may learn more than you ever want to know, but I hope you find this blog as enjoyable to read as I hope to find it to write.
Edmund had his one month check-up today. He weighed in at 8 lbs 10 oz. It's hard to believe that in 5 short weeks he has gained nearly half his birth weight. He's in the 25th percentile for height and head circumference. He's only in the 5th percentile for height, but we think they simply had trouble measuring a squirmy baby. He's clearly taller as he's almost grown out of his newborn clothes lengthwise.
Edmund was a champ during his examination. The doctor said he looked extremely healthy. He talked about things we should look for in the next few weeks. He told us to expect tracking of faces in a week or two. Edmund has been doing that for a couple of weeks now. He then told us to expect a social smile around 2 months. Edmund has given us a few gummy grins in the last few days. The doctor then said we didn't need to push tummy time yet. We said "he generally tolerates tummy time, and if he doesn't he'll flip to his back." We then informed the doctor Edmund has been rolling over for 4 weeks. The doctor said "you know the majority of babies don't roll over until about 3 months." We nodded politely, but secretly we already know Edmund is a genius baby :)
