Elle's one-month stats

Elle had her one-month pediatrician appointment today.

Weight: 9 pounds, 4 ounces (60th percentile)

Height (I don't think this is exact - she was wiggly and I don't think lined up properly): 22.25 inches (90th percentile)

Head: 39 cm (95th percentile - it was in the 90th percentile at birth and is in proportion with her other stats, so baby's big head is still good)

Everything looks great for baby girl (new nickname: Porkibeth). We also got clearance for regular baths (instead of sponge baths), tummy time and advice on a few other issues (gas, dry skin, night-time bottle, etc.) and made our appointment for her two-month visit, when she'll start getting vaccines.

She was sleeping in some great 3- and 4-hour stretches for a few nights in a row but has since reverted to more 2- and 3-hour stretches. She's not currently cluster feeding (I'm sure the 4.5-week growth spurt is just around the corner), but she is eating every 2 to 2.5 hours during the day. She's got super strong legs, has lost the hair on top of her head and enjoys her vitamin D.
