1 Month Old

Reid was one month old on Monday.  We went to the doctor and he is 10 lbs and 22-1/2 inches long.  The doctor said I have a tall and skinny baby since his weight is average and his length is above average.  He's gained 2 pounds and 2-1/2 inches since he was born.

Reid is still a good sleeper, but he's a crab when he's hungry or tired.  We're getting used to the crying - it doesn't last long, but he is much more vocal than Evan was.  (Evan was a pretty calm baby, but he didn't sleep much.)

Reid can roll over from his belly to his back (he did that at 1 week old - crazy!).  He follows voices, watches faces, likes Evan's bright, colorful cartoons, and loves Evan.

Evan is a great brother.  He cried today when I didn't let him help change Reid's dirty diaper. He explains stuff to Reid that he may need to know in a couple of years (like how toys work or what TV shows are good).  He even assigned Reid the role of playing Ferb when we were playing Phineas and Ferb the other day.  (It was a pretty good role assignment since Ferb doesn't say much.)
