1 month checkup

AJ had his one month check up!  

He is growing but more up than out.  He is going to be skinny and tall.  Today he was 8 lbs 12 oz.  He is up 2 lbs 2 oz from birth but still only in the 23%.  He was 23 inches today which put him in the 90%.  Not sure where he got the height from considering we are all pretty short.  


AJ was born with a hematoma on his head.  Usually they are more common with vacuum births.  His was pretty big but it has gone down.  But our doctor wants us to get his head X-rayed to make sure it's not fractured. 

Otherwise he looks good!

  1. I hope everything checks out with AJ's hematoma. Good luck!!

    Maggie was in the 90th percentile for height early on and then fell down to 60-something, and now she's at the 50th. Jack was under the 50th percentile his first year, and now he's at about the 70th percentile at his 7-year check up. They seem to have gone all over the place. It'll be interesting to see what AJ does! I'm so glad he's growing and doing so well!

  2. Ditto what Christy said! Keira was quite large at birth (almost what AJ weighs now) but her weight has slowly dropped and now she is around 40th percentile. As long as they are happy

  3. ...and meeting their developmental milestones I think the weight/height isn't as important. (Or at least that is what I am telling myself!)

    He looks great and he is staying on curve so that's great! good job mama!
