1 Month Well Visit

We had Zach's 1 month well visit, even though he is over 5 weeks now.  Doctor said everything looked great and he was perfect.  He is a big boy weighing in at 11.9 lbs (79%) and measuring 22.50 inches long (69%). 

Zach has been a very needy 2nd baby.  I have always heard that 2nd babies are very laid back and have to take back seat to the 1st child.  Not this baby. . . he constantly needs our love and attention.  He likes to be rocked while standing only, no sitting on this job :)  Most newborns just sleep all day, this boy hardly sleeps at all.  It seemed as if he had some colic or acid reflux issues, but he might be starting to grow out of that (cross your fingers).  He does not like to go to bed any time before midnight (that is starting to move up a little as well).  The other night we did have a break thru, 6 hours straight at night...but it was too good to be true and only lasted that one night.  Overall, he is doing great and keeping us very busy.  We love him very much and look forward to every new thing he does.  We have got a couple smiles in response to us and he is starting to grab things.  He has a super strong neck and loves to hold his head up.  Oh, and he rolled from his belly to his back two times the other night while getting some tummy time.
