6 Month Check-up

It was time for Jax's 6 month check-up this past Monday. We had been looking forward to going because we wanted to see how much bigger Jax had gotten. The doctor was so impressed with Jax and where he is developmentally. The sad thing is he had to get 4 shots as well as the rotovirus. Luckily he didn't have such a negative reaction to the shots this time around compared to his last appointment. He was sore that night but we can handle that compared to the 2-3 days it affected him last time. 

When we left the doctor gave us his growth charts which is what we were most excited to see. They were as follows which you can see below as well:

-Length - 23.75 inches... in the 0.01%tile

-Weight - 14.34 lbs... in the 2.53%tile

-Head Circumference - 16.24... in the 2.76%tile

-Weight/Height... in the 79.06%tile

This means he is really small but is a chunker. Last time we went in he was in the 95%tile for weight/height so he has "thinned" out a little bit.  As parents we are so proud of this little man and look forward to seeing him continue to progess and can't wait to see the little dude that he is going to be. 

Later that night we decided that we wanted to feed Jax fruit for the first time. As you can guess he loved it. The first fruit he tried was peaches. Since then he has tried several other things. He is a champ when it comes to eating. 

4 month doc check up

Today was Jax's 4 month check up with Dr Eyre. We were so excited to see how much he has grown. He was really happy until he got his 3 shots. The doctor was really impressed with how he has been doing and growing. As you can tell from the charts below he is in the 1.41 percentile in weight as he is 12.03 lbs now. He is also in the 2 percentile in length because he is 21.9 inches long. He is a little chub though because he is in the 95.01 percentile for weight compared to his length. As parents we are so proud of him.

Jax's 3 month check up

Today was the day that we finally were able to go to the doctor to get Jax checked out. It was supposed to be his 2 month appointment but will end up being closer to 3 months because he turns 3 months old on Sunday. We were so excited because we were going to finally figure out where Jax stands with his weight. 

Shaileen was so excited about his weight. He was about a half pound more than we expected.

He weighes in at a whopping 9lbs 12.5 oz. We are so proud of him, it seems like he is so big but in reality he is still so small. He is only 21 inches tall right now too. 

So here are the percentages that we were so excited to get. 

0.31% in weight

0.01% in height

0.27 % in Head Circumference

80.72% in height/weight comparison. (This one means that even though he is small his height and weight are a really good match)

I look quite drunk here

Jax wasn't sure what to think when the doctor started checking him out. However, he did really good.

I am pretty sure Jax knew what was coming next. SHOT TIME...

Isn't this the saddest thing you have ever seen? He has been pretty sad tonight but has been sleeping a lot.
