One Month Old!

Yesterday I took Alyssa in for her 1 month pediatrician's visit and was shocked to find that she weighed 10 pounds 4 ounces fully clothed. The nurse agreed that means she's at least 10 pounds. I suspected a faulty scale until I realized that she weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ounces on the exact same scale at her 2-week checkup. Hence she has gained over two and a half pounds in just over two weeks. Wow! That means she's moved up from 42nd percentile at birth to 77th percentile. I'm just happy that she's thriving!

In other news, Alyssa has lost almost all of the hair in the front on top of her head. Think Frank from "Everybody Loves Raymond." I think it's adorable, but I'm a little biased. It will be interesting to see what the hair that grows in its place will look like. We'll take and post pictures demonstrating this phenomenon soon.

She's losing her hair? That should make her look even more like her daddy! ;)
