At one month of age, Piper looked like this:

One Month

For size comparison:

I'm holding her with her Dodgers jersey!

She weighed 10 pounds, 7 1/4 ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long. 90% and 50%th percentiles for weight and height. Her head circumference was 37.2cm. This is a gain of one pound 2 1/4 ounces from her previous appointment at 2 weeks old. She grew 1/4 of an inch in those two weeks.

Here she is at two months:

We have better pics at home, promise.

At this appointment she weighed 12 pounds 9 ounces (an increase of two pounds 1 and 3/4 of an ounce) and was 22 inches long (an increase of 1 and1/4 of an inch). Still 90% and 50th% for weight and height. Her head circumference was 38cm.

Here she is at 3 months:

She's relaxing

For size comparison:

Hard to hold and take pictures

At this appointment she weighed 13 pounds 14 ounces (increase of 1 pound and 5 ounces) and was 23 1/4 inches long (an inch and 1/4 increase).  Her head circumference was 38.5cm.

It seems she hit a growth spurt between months 1 and 2. She is now in 6 month clothes, or 3-6 in some brands. We’ve tried her 3 month clothes and they have since been tossed into the “give to a friend” tub, poor things just wouldn’t zip or snap closed! Luckily, we got so much from my friend Tricia, now we can pass them on to someone else! Gotta love giving back.
