1 month checkup

We had Alex's first checkup today. We'll keep this short'n'sweet and i'll post the pictures I mentioned yesterday.

Dr. Mueller said he looked great (that's a given). He's really strong (apparently I could be a doctor?). And "he's tiny" (what are we paying this lady for again?!)

in all seriousness, she was very encouraging and said that he's doing very well. It really is nice to have a 'professional' affirm us - mixed with all the encouragement from people at church, friends, family, etc, it kind of lets us know people aren't just "being nice". All the encouragement we've gotten has been a great boost to jess and I - so, thank you for your support (reading this blog is one way to give us support; when I look and see it has had nearly 1300 page views, it lets me know people care - or that one person cares a LOT :))

His stats at this visit:

Height: 21"
Weight: 8lbs 12oz
Head: 14"

Apparently he is at the 25th percentile in all categories - which jess and i think is really cool! We were really hoping we would have a baby that was 'just our size' and not too big for us, and that's exactly what we got. Our pastor told us "this baby is wired exactly for you" and he was right on.

Just to proove the 25 percentile, I reasoned that out of 4 babies, 3 should be larger than him.


#1. Cousin Wesley? Probably (we'll find out soon, i'm sure)
#2. Cousin Logan? I'm 99% sure
#3. Cousin Layton? check!

Your so funny, and cute. That means , baby's his age, there are 3 out of the 4 that will be bigger than him:)HEHE
But it is true, he is wired just right for both of you two. He is fearfully and wonderfully made:)
