Had Jude's one month check-up today. Holy Cow, he is going to be a big boy!! He gained 2 pounds, grew 1.5 inches and grew 2 inches around the head.
He weighed just slightly under 11 pounds. I think he would have been over 11 pounds if he did not puke up most of his last meal right before we left! His weight puts him in the 85th percentile. Jude was tall when he was born, but after growing 1.5 inches, he is now 23.5 inches long. That actually put him above the 97th percentile for length. It is literally off the chart! His head circumference is now 15.5 inches, which is in the 75th percentile.
I think Jude is definitely going to take after my family and be tall. It is hard to believe an 11 pound, one month old baby looks skinny, but he does because he is just so tall...
Everything else looked good and he got the Hep B vaccination. Usually babies get this in the hospital, but we turned it down then because some recent thinking believes that it might cause colic. Well, since Jude already has colic, there was no sense delaying it any further. He let out one scream when they gave it, but immediately stopped crying once I picked him up.
