The vital one month stats

We just returned home from our one-month check-up.  Conor is doing wonderfully by all accounts. He weighs 10 pounds exactly, which puts him in the 54th percentile (up from the 16th percentile at birth!)  His length is 21 inches, which is the 28th percentile.  Therefore, while we guess that he'll be tall eventually, given Mike's height, he's still on the shorter side.  Finally, his head measures 14 3/4 inches, which is is 32nd percentile.  The doctor was very pleased with his progress and was incredibly impressed with his strength.  When she put him down on his tummy, he lifted his head up a full 90 degrees and pushed up with his arms, as he often does.  Anyone who has held him knows how he loves to throw his head back and look all around to take in the world.  The doctor was amazed by his strength and said that was a 4-month trick.  We knew we had a prodigy on our hands!

Evidence of Conor's Herculean strength: (My camera was on the fritz when he reached the full 90 degree lift... Time for a new camera!)
