One month old

Liam turned one month old today, and I was not there to celebrate. I miss the little guy.

Jen tells me that his one month checkup went well. The little man is not so little anymore: he now weighs in at 6 pounds 1 oz (a pound in a week! and 2.5 pounds since birth!), and measures at 18.75 inches (two inches!). Jen tells me he has developed a third chin since I left two days ago.

More importantly, the doctors say he's doing so well that he no longer needs us to wake him to feed! He's completely recovered from his low blood sugar, and, indeed, is thriving.

Not being home, I have no pictures to post. But you can view the archives to get your Liam fix, just as I'm doing now.

Happy one-month birthday, little guy!

I know this is a long time after the fact, but congrats! I have a couple of little ones myself, and know exactly the missing them feeling you were talking about. Mine were in Europe for a month, and that was some hard times for me. Hope you are back with him now, and wish you the best of luck.

Ran across your page from a Gentoo comment you had posted, in case you are wondering how I got here.
