J One Month Old

I take a million pictures of my babies, obviously, but I'm not great at actually taking pictures on the significant days or planning them out ahead of time. So... these are J's "one month pictures" and I think I took them a few days after he was officially one month.
He is such a sweet, easy baby you guys! You know he's good when your three year old asks if babies know how to cry! Not sure what our catch is here, but we're not complaining (yet... until we figure out what the catch is!) 

When we went to J's first doctor's appointment, his pediatrician said his curly toe was the most dramatic one she'd ever seen! She said she usually doesn't do anything with curly toes, but that we might want to get another opinion on his while he's young. So we made an appointment at the Children's hospital downtown. We went to the appointment a few days before his one month old mark.
They weighed him and measured him and measured his head. He was so funny when they measured his head. The doctor had to try a few times because kept making this funny/annoyed face every time the tape touched his head, and he would shake it off. He weighed over 9 lbs so that was fun to see his growth!
Anyways, the doctor came and looked at his toe and she said it was nothing to worry about and there was nothing we should do about it. She wanted to check him over a little more, just in case the curly toe was part of a bigger problem. She found a dimple in his spine (a sacral dimple), which is about as serious as a curly toe: somewhat common, probably nothing, but a small chance that it's part of something bigger. The doctor said "we usually don't worry about these unless they are paired with yada, yada, yada, or a birthmark." and I was like "well shoot! J's got a huge birthmark!" She said not to worry too much, because the birthmark wasn't near the dimple, but just in case, we should probably get it checked. Let me see if I can find a picture of the birthmark to document here...

So we went right down the hall to get an ultrasound on his spine. I was pretty nervous for about 24 hours before we got the results back, and thankfully thankfully thankfully, they didn't see anything concerning! Our little boy just has a lot of special features!
