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.

Month 9: Average Size — 18 Pounds

Last month, I offered up a reference to the Baby Shark song that serves as ground zero for my migraines. 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. I’ve watched my wife scream in agony after our little one almost took off her entire left nipple, slicing it to bleed. Be a team player—get some rubber chew toys, quick.
