Jax's 9th month check up

On Monday we got to go see the doctor for Jax's 9 month check up even though he is closer to 10 months old. His doctor was so pleased with how he was progressing and said that he is as healthy as a baby ox.

 

Now on to the stuff that everyone is interetested in:

- WEIGHT - 16 lbs 10 oz - 5.3 %tile

-Length - 26.75 inches - 1.98%tile

-Height to weight comparison - 26.47% (was 80 last time so he has definately thinned out)

- Head Circumference - 17.13 inches - 9.06 %tile

 

This means that Jax is still a little dude but growing up big and strong. He is finally on the charts though. As we always say, Shaileen and I are so proud of Jax with how he has progressed. We sure do love him.

 

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.
