We celebrate 5 weeks with Graham today. It has been a big week. Graham is still continuing to sleep through the night. He usually goes 7-9 hours between feedings at night! The pediatrician even commented on how rested I looked. Speaking of the pediatrician, Graham had his one month appointment last Friday. He weighs 9 lbs 13 oz (49th percentile) and is now 22 3/4 inches long (88th percentile). That is correct, in only one month Graham has gained 2 lbs 5 oz and grown 2 3/4 inches. He also had to get his second Hepatitis B injection. Graham did better than I did! The only thing that we have to work on is getting Graham to look to his right. He sleeps and lays looking to his left and his head is flatter on that side. His doctor said it is nothing to worry about at this point.
Graham has become more active and is staying awake for longer periods of time during the day. He can now focus on his toys and faces. There is nothing sweeter that him looking into our eyes while we hold and feed him. He has also started to smile.

There is nothing like when they smile at you, truly priceless!!! We have the same problem with Ashlyn. They think her head was flattened by how she laid in my pelvis, but it is significantly flatter on the right side. They say once they start flipping over and not always laying on their back it gets better.
