This week started with a visit to the Pediatrician for Peter. It was his one month check up and he weighed in at 9 pounds 6 oz and 21 1/2 inches long which puts him in the 50th percentaile. So I guess that makes him a pretty normal little boy! He did really good during the visit and just talked away to the doctor while she was doing her exam. She even had a hard time listening to his heart and lungs because he was talking so much.
But as you can see from the picture below the visit ended with a shot and he did not like that at all! I actually teared up a little bit seeing him in so much pain. But he did get a cool snoopy band aid. This week I have noticed a few things about Peter 1) his neck is getting much stronger as are his legs-he loves to kick 2) he is starting to focus a little more on things around him which is what I tried to capture in the video below except he stopped looking at his toys and started looking at me once I pulled the camera out.
3) he is definitely starting to find his voice and he is doing much better with his refluex so he can actually have some floor time now, which also helps with his gas. I have never seen a baby have so much gas, I have no clue where he stores it all!
Alan and I got to go on our first date since Peter's birth and we went to our favorite pizza place called the Good Pie. If you are ever in town it is a definite must. According to Alan it is the most authentic pizza he has had in the US. It was nice to spend some time together and Peter was kind enough to sleep through it.

What a perfect little baby angel you have there. I love the videos! I was at Time Out For Women with Mom this weekend and loved seeing all the the little babies that everyone brought.
That is great that Peter is keeping up well! Good job!
