Alex's 1 month doctor visit

Alex had his 1 month doctor visit yesterday and we got some very good news. He weighs 8 pounds 2 ounces and is now 21 inches long. He is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height. The doctor isn't concerned about his weight gain. He said Alex will probably be long and lean (again - like his dad). We also found out that he can now see color and can focus on objects anywhere from 8-15 inches from him. The doctor told us that Alex won't be able to see both far and near until he's about 6 weeks old. Currently, he only sees things that are near. He's been eating a lot and sleeps about 3 hours in between feedings.

Today, we decided to lay Alex in his crib (for the first time) and see how he liked it. We have a mobile hanging over part of the crib. We turned it on while Alex was laying in his crib to see if it would entertain him. He laid there for over a half hour just watching and cooing at the moving mobile. It was a very exciting moment for the Milovic family:)
