One month old

Today, Grant turned one month old. It is hard to believe that it has already been a month since he was born! But, it also seems like a lot longer since he was born... At his doctor's appointment on Tuesday, he weighed 10 pounds 15 ounces and measured 23 inches long. (Compare to Leah at two months: 11 pounds 4 ounces and 24 inches... her length then being in the 90-something percentile.) He still doesn't like to sleep at night, but he sure is growing!

It has already been almost five weeks since I stopped working. That is how long I had off after having Leah before I went back to work. I am relieved to not have to go back this time! I still feel way busier now than I did when I was working.

Matthew has successfully completed his last "full-time" quarter of classes, and has been doing research, which he will continue throughout the summer. Plus, we are moving to student housing in a couple of weeks!

Here are some pictures from Grant's "birthday" today:

Leah is an excellent big sister!


This is one of Grant's most common expressions so far. And notice we downgraded Leah's bandage... just to clarify, she's fine; she just hit her head on the edge of our fireplace the other day and, well, head injuries can get rather gruesome, which is why she had the mega bandage on the last post.


Leah got everyone involved in tummy time (yes, even me, not pictured):


Funny face:


Good-looking boy:
