one month old!

our one month appt was rescheduled from wednesday till this morning, so we've just gotten back. so...my goodness, here goes...

zach is now 10 lbs 2.5 oz...i never in a million years thought he would have gained 3 lbs in just two weeks, but that he did! that puts him in the 75th percentile for weight. he is now 22" long (50th - 75th percentile) and his head is 15" (50th percentile...which surprised us...we think his head is rather large!)

zoe hasn't done too bad herself...8 lbs 9 oz (25th percentile), is 21" long (50th percentile) and her head measures 14 1/4'' (25th percentile).

after birth, zoe has developed a strawberry birthmark on her neck which got me a little anxious at first, but per the doc, this will continue to grow for the first year and then will slowly fade and disappear.
otherwise, they are both very healthy and the doctor was very happy with their progress.

things are still as crazy as ever, and they've gotten fussier here as of late for no apparent reason...fun fun! supposedly this should level off by six or eight weeks, so i'm ready for these next few weeks to hurry on up and pass!

for fun, i've posted pics of both jason and i when we were babies and compared them to zachary and zoe. it's amazing how zoe really resembles me and zach jason. these pics may not do it much justice, so you'll just have to trust me!
