Parker's 1 Month Doctor Visit

Parker went to the Doctor for his one month check-up today. He got a great report! Here are his stats:

Weight: 6lb 11oz
Height: 19"
Head Circumference: 36 cm (8th percentile)

His weight and height aren't on the regular chart yet but his progress is consistent with a full term child. Dr Matthews was very pleased with his weight progress and gave us the ok to start feeding Parker on demand rather than on a set schedule.

We also did a follow up hearing exam since Parker was on antibiotics which can affect hearing especially in newborns. He passed so we'll monitor it at follow up appointments as needed. We also got Parker's Newborn Screening Test results back and everything is normal.

The best part of the appointment was that there were no shots! We go back in January for his 2 month appointment. Hopefully the little guy will make the charts next time!
