One Month - Taelyn is such a big girl!

It's hard to believe that Taelyn is already one month old! After her one-month doctor's appointment, I discovered how much she really has grown since her birth, and it is amazing how fast it has gone by. Taelyn is now 9 lbs, 21 inches, and has a head circumference of 14 inches (at birth she was 7, 19, and 13 respectively). She is in the average range for all three categories, but what is surprising is how much she has grown in the last four weeks. The doctor said most babies gain about 15 grams a day, and Taelyn has averaged 45 grams a day. Now she is such a big girl!
