Month 1: Average Size — 7 Pounds

How was the drive home from the hospital? Did you have your hands at 10 and 2 for the first time ever, white-knuckling the wheel? Not since my days in college, when I was assigned the job of keg deliveryman during a snowstorm, have I felt such overwhelming pressure to safely deliver a package.

Month 4: Average Size — 15 Pounds

You’ve been indoctrinated; you’re a survivor. The first 3 months as a new father are very tough. It definitely wasn’t easy for me to make the transition—even as the older brother of three boys, I had never had anyone reliant upon me.

That song may feel relevant these days with those new teeth popping through, especially for Mom. You’d think those little Chiclets were laser-cut blades for cutting open bank vaults.
