Jacob went to the doctor yesterday for his 1 mo. checkup and he's doing great.
Here are his stats:
Ht: 21.5 in.
Wt: 9.3 lbs
His weight gain was good. They normally expect 1 ounce gained per day and he gained 32 ounces (2 lbs) since our last visit 28 days ago.
He had an umbilical granuloma which they treated with silver nitrate. His umbilical cord took 3 weeks to fall off and once it did, it still had a little discharge so this easy treatment should clear that up.
The doctor also noticed that his head favors looking to his left so we're getting him to look to the right in order to head off any problems early.
His hair is also falling out and he is definitely exhibiting male patterned baldness! But, I guess this is normal and it'll eventually grow back.
Last, Jacob had to get his 2nd Hep B shot. His next visit is at 2 months and unfortunately he's due to get 4 shots then. Please, don't tell him about that!

Glad to hear he is still doing well and that he never got the strep or swine flu from Kayla and Daddy. Can't wait to see him at Christmas. He is just soooooooooooooo cute!
