Length: 22 inches; between 5th & 10th percentile

When Dr. Hirsch walked in the room and looked at Nathan's weight she smiled and asked "How much does Justin weigh again?". She was very pleased with Nathan's weight gain and predicts that he will be bigger than Justin by the time he's 9 months. It will be interesting to see if both boys will eventually be wearing the same size clothes or if Justin will be wearing Nathan's hand me downs.
Developmentally Nathan remains on track; he's starting to coo, holding his head up, moving his head around to see where certain noises are coming from and is able to track moving objects. The biggest news is that he's sleeping through the night (5-6 hours at a time), although he needs constant movement so he's sleeping in his swing. So I need to work on transitioning him into his bassinet and/or crib.
Dr. Hirsch even discussed starting solids, although she doesn't recommend it until at least 4 months, but I'll follow his cues as to when he's ready.
Overall Nathan's doing really well, although he wasn't too happy with getting his 1st set of vaccines.
