Reaching Milestones and Growing

Today we had our one month check up and Alex is 100% healthy, handsome and meeting all his growth and developmental milestones! His head is perfectly shaped and the soft spots have almost completely closed. He is smiling and tracking objects with his eyes and he has started to coo. He can also already do a full chest push up and lift his head (which is a milestone for months two - four). He is very strong!

Today at the check up, Alex weighed 9 lbs. 15.5 oz and was 22.5 inches long. He is growing steadily and you can really see it in his length and the fullness of his face. He changes every day right before our eyes. He had his hepatitis B shot, and while he screamed for about 30 seconds, he settled right down and was just awesome!

We are preparing to head up to Providence and the RI/Connecticut area this Saturday for a week's stay. It will be lots of fun, but I am sure very different from all our travels of the past. We will certainly have more to pack :-) and one more little person to entertain on this trip.

Lots of Love,

The Tinks of San Antonio
