Jansen's 1 Month Checkup Stats & Comparisons

Jansen had his 1 month appointment yesterday morning.  He was a trooper and didn't even get upset during the weigh-in process.  Speaking of weigh-in...I was so surprised at how much this good little eater has gained.  At birth he was 7 lbs., 7 oz. and 4 days later he was already 7 lbs., 8 oz.  Well, at 1 month he was 11 pounds!  That's the 68th percentile.  He also grew an inch in the past month measuring in now at 21 and 1/2 inches (33rd percentile).  No wonder this momma is always so thirsty and hungry...Jansen can eat!

So, it always makes me curious to see how this progress tracks with the other boys, so here are all the stats:

Length:
K: 21 and 1/2" 
T: 21 and 3/4"
P: 23"
J: 21 and 1/2"

Weight:
K: 10 lbs., 11 oz.
T: 10 lbs., 6 oz.
P: 10 lbs., 4 oz.
J: 11 lbs.

So, Jansen is clearly the heaviest baby at 1 month!!  Interesting to find that all the boys were basically the same length at this point except for Penn Rye who was about an inch and a half longer!!

Now it's time for some pictures of Jansen at his appointment (of course).  Here he is looking adorable buried in coziness in the waiting room...

And here's the little chunker!  Look at those arms and thighs!





Now, to compare.  I have pretty much the exact poses of Penn from his first month appointment...


Here's Tavin at about 1 month (5 weeks)...


And here's Koen at about 1 month (wearing the same shirt Jansen wore to church on Sunday...that's 4 boys that shirt has survived!)...
So, let's put all the similar pics side by side to make the compare a little easier...
What do you think??  I'm thinking the boys all look a lot alike.  I really can't decide!!

Praise the Lord for four healthy boys!  Good job in your first month, Jansen!  I love watching you grow and thrive!
