Jonah has one on the back of his neck. Neither of my other boys have any kind of birth mark so I was surprised when I saw this. I was just reading online and it seems that it's quite common. Apparently 30-40% of babies have them.
So I was just curious if anyone else's baby has/had one and if they faded or stayed with them?

Shasta, Kaleb has one on his right shoulder -- which as he has grown up, has not diminished in size -- as he has gotten older, it's kind of just "grown" with him (if that makes sense). It's not any bigger in proportion to his body, but since he's larger, his stork bite is larger as well.
Brayden had several on his scalp and back of his neck. They're all either faded, or covered by hair now.
Laura and Mira have them on the back of their necks plus Mira has a fairy saddle on the bride of her nose. The one on Mira's face is very faded but if I left up her hair I can still really see her stork bites. Laura's are already fading.

My friend's baby boy is six months and still has his stork mark on the back of his neck, perfectly centred! Its really cute - she didn't even know what it was called until I told her.

Georgia had one on her forehead between her eyebrows. She still has it when she is mad and her face turns red

Sarah, Jonah's is perfectly centered on the back of his neck too!
Now I'm curious to see if his stays or fades, I never saw one before his.

Ella has a stork bite still on the back of her neck (she is 4) and she has an angel kiss on her forehead. They have faded quite a bit, but not completely. When she is hot or angry, they get quite bright. Her doctor said that if it hasn't faded more by the time she is 8 or 9, we can think about getting it lasered.
Thomas is 13 1/2 months and has one one at the base of his skull and one on his forehead. They have faded, but are still visible, moreso when he gets flushed.
Robert has one right in between the eyes on his forehead. It looks like a flame. It's kind of cool. You can still see it although it really shows when he is excited or upset. It still shows up in pictures though. Rhayan had one very similar in the same spot but hers faded and is gone now.

Cecily is 16 years old and still has hers! It has faded some with the years though....

Wow!! Malachi also had this, and it's in DH family. His Sister still gets apparently. I actually haven't noticed it recently, so not sure if he still has it.
