[AuroraHope]

when you pick him up or he moves he pops mostly his shoulders

Prolly normal. He is growing at the fastest rate he'll ever grow.

I would just keep tabs and mention it at the next well baby just for piece of mind.

Kyans back would kinda crick a little bit, sometimes it still does it. As long as you're supporting him as you pick him up then he should be fine but it's important to realize that eventhough a baby doesn't wince or cry they still could be hurt if not supported properly when you hold them or when you pick them up or transfer them to and from a person or a place like beds, car seats, infant strollers, bouncers, play pens, etc.

Almost forgot, don't freak out as it is more common for girls and between ages 1-4:

Nursemaid Elbow

She had this and we had 4 bouts of it happening. But even if it ever does happen, they will act like it is broken and won't move it. Whenever her arm joint pops that is the first thing in my mind now, but it hasn't happened since we were in Japan so we are over it. When it first happened I freaked out, but now I spread info about it so other parents while know.
