Happy One-Month Birthday, Mr. Ru!

We made it to the one month mark. The "hardest" month is behind us and I like to think we came out pretty successful.  Rudy had his one-month doctor's appointment this morning.  He is weighing in at 10 lbs, 7 ounces and 23 inches long.  He is in the 68th percentile for weight and 92nd percentile for height.  Being that tall, she said his weight was right on track.  He is on the high end of what they would want babies to gain from his last appointment, which was a huge relief for me because I worry about him getting enough milk...considering I have about no idea how much he eats each time.  Everything else checked out great.  He had to have one shot and he was not happy about it.  She also recommended some gas drops to help out our gassy baby.  Hopefully those will work and give Rudy some relief.  Hard to believe its been a month already...the days can drag, but the weeks fly by.  It feels like we have had Rudy forever.  He's the greatest.  






I took a video of Rudy squirming around and mumbling after I took these pictures...it took me a bit to figure out how to get it on this blog, but I did it.  This has opened up a whole new world of sharing! (oh and it's a bit long.  I was going to make just one minute, then two minutes, then three, and so on. But he just kept on being cute!  So I don't blame you if you don't make it through all 5 minutes)

  1. Love the ESPN in the background of the video! He is so cute, Jen. He sure seems to be a content baby. Glad to see Rufus is getting some face time too!

  2. I noticed that when I watched it back, too! haha ESPN has been all that has been on the TV lately. I get doing stuff and don't think to change it, or I sit down to feed Rudy and realize the remote is on the other side of the room. And with all this anticipation of football season starting, John can't get enough of it!

  3. It's only been about a week since I saw Rudy in person but he is so much more expressive in this video than he was when we were there. I think he is going to be a runner! Watch those legs move...
