Jude's 4-month wellness check-up

Jude had his 4-month check-up this week. Everything went fine, except for the fact that our pediatrician referred us to a neurosurgeon for Jude's positional plagiocephaly ("flat head syndrome").

It's nothing to worry about I'm sure, but from a parent's perspective it is noticeable when you look at his head from behind. If all else fails, I'm sure Jude's future siblings will get a kick out of seeing photos of him wearing a helmet!

Here are Jude's 4-month charts:


Jude's percentile rankings:
Length-to-age: 90.25% (66.68 cm / 26.25 in)
Weight-to-age: 56.24% (6.88 kg / 15.17 lbs)
Head Circumference-to-age: 76.45% (43.3 cm / 17.05 in)

Hi Amanda, Tug saw a doc for his flat head too! No matter what way we put that baby down he always turned his head to the right. Today he is still a little flat, but no one can tell. Ben just wanted a baseball hat to fit properly (and it does)! Great to see you in blog world!
