our cute little flat headed baby

Well we went to the doctor today for his 1 month appointment and the doctor pointed out that the left side of little Palmer's head is getting flat! He favors that side of his head when he lays on his back and looks to the side (and it must be the side we've been putting him on to sleep, but don't tell the doctor that!) So now we are supposed to be stretching his neck in the other direction and encouraging him to look at toys and faces to that side. Hopefully it will resolve and be no big deal by his 2 month appointment!

He got a hepatitis B shot and his face turned so red and angry I thought he was going to explode! He literally didn't breathe or make a sound for about 10 seconds- just turned bright red and had the most infuriated look on his face. The screaming started soon after! I felt so bad for the little guy. His little leg muscle is so small- it had to hurt! They also weighed him and measured his length and head circumference again. He has had quite a growth spurt since his last visit at 10 pounds 10 ounces, 23 inches long. He jumped from the 50th to the 75th percentile in weight and head size, and changed from the 75th to the 95th percentile in height! (Those values might be a tad exaggerated though since he is actually over a month old now.)

Here are two sweet pictures from my mom's house on the day he turned 5 weeks!
