One-Month Checkup

Weight: 11lb 1oz (75%)
Height: 22.5" (50-75%)
Head Circumference: 15" (75%)

With his checkup also comes a diagnosis: colic. Apparently colic is not just "crying all the time", but rather most typically a distinct and regular period of increased unexplained crying. No, it's nothing to do with gas. However, the fates give and take - Archer's colic-y period ends before midnight, and he can sleep upwards of five hours at night! That's right, one month in and we're already building up towards the full-night-sleep endgame!

Archer is big, and STRONG! Almost from birth he's had the ability to lift and support his head.

Lately, he's become very alert; his trademark quiet-alert mode face is one of intense curiosity, and he loves to look at people.



He has really embraced the joy of the piano mat, not just for kicking, but for playing with the toys that hang from it.
