4 Weeks Old!

It is hard to believe William is 4 weeks old! It doesn't seem like he has been with us for a whole month. Today, we spent the morning with Grandma and Grandpa McGarry. We enjoyed showing off how much William has grown and learned since the last time they were here. This morning, William had his first bath in his tub - he was really good! He actually didn't cry until we took him OUT of the tub!

This afternoon, we went to Williams 4 week appointment with our pediatrician. William has made some good progress. At his one week appointment, his weight was 8 lbs. 4 oz., 21.75 inches long, and had a head circumference of ? (I need to look it up). Today, William was 10 lbs 12.75 oz., 22.25 inches long and had a head circumference of 39.5 cm. The doctor was very pleased with William's growth and gains. She was really impressed with how alert he was during the appointment. The doctor told us William is in the top 25% for all three areas of height, weight and head size. Based on his size now, she also told us it is likely that William will be over 6 feet tall when he is done growing! That is hard to believe about our little man!

When we came back from our appointment, John and Grandpa Kevin did some more wiring work in the basement while William, Grandma and I went for a walk in the neighborhood. It was almost 60 degrees outside! Woohoo!

Basement progress: we have lights! With switches!

This evening, we all went out to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse to celebrate my birthday! It was GREAT to be out again - this is the first time John and I have been out to eat since William was born. William was very well behaved and slept the whole time in his car seat. We even were able to run to the grocery store and Walmart to pick up a couple of things after dinner.

goodnight,
