95th Percentile, Baby!

(i.e., we have a huge child.)

So, our little Weston had his one-month check-up today (even though he's actually five weeks old now, but whatever). We got up bright and early (or, West got us up bright and early), showered, dressed, fed the baby, ate breakfast, packed up the baby, and drove to the doctor's office for our 9:15 AM appointment. Once at the office, we realized that our appointment was actually at 4:00 PM. D'oh!! Okay, okay, it was totally my bad -- sorry, Timmy dear!

Anyway, his *afternoon* appointment went just fine, and he didn't cry at all, except for a brief wail when he got his Hep B shot. (The examination room was nice and toasty warm, so that helped.) We were told that Weston now weighs 11 pounds, 8 ounces (95-97th percentile!) and measures 23 inches long (90th percentile!). So, he is GINORMOUS! Way to go, little guy! We thought he's been chunking out a little bit lately, but apparently he's nearly the biggest baby out there in his age category. (I guess I produce cream instead of milk, ha ha!)

We also learned that the little red spot on his lip is actually a birthmark. Only 4-10% of Caucasian babies get this kind of birthmark, but supposedly it goes away by age 7. In the meantime, he'll be sporting the Queen Amidala look. :-)

Now for photos!! This is a picture of the window above our couch in the living room. Weston is OBSESSED with this window - he loves to stare at the light coming through the blinds:
Here he is, staring up at the window:
Fun time on the play mat! (That little lion plays a few different mini-songs, and Tim and I love to dance to them.)
AHH! Warning: bizarre scary picture! Weston has this little mirror toy in his crib, but the mirror is a little warped, so he looks freaky in the reflection (hahaha!):

This is our friend Tiffany -- she's very fun and crazy:
Dave and Tiffany treated us to a yum-o dinner at Marie Callender's, and then posed (with their adorable daughter Malia, who put her arms around her parents all on her own, hahaha) after the meal:
This weekend, we took a scenic drive through the Angeles National Forest, which is just a hop and skip away from Pasadena. It was very pretty and peaceful:
It even got really cool and misty up in the mountains, even though it was warm and sunny down below! Awesome scenery:
