Our little peanut

We had Simon's overdue 9-month appointment this past week. The vital stats: 18 lb. 0 oz, and 27 inches. This confirms what we already knew - he's a peanut. He used to be around the 25th percentiles for length and weight, but has now slipped to the 5th percentiles. This is perhaps not surprising since he'd been either sick or on antibiotics for the two weeks before his appointment. His doc is not worried at all, but encouraged us to give him as much as he's willing to eat. (Which we always have done!) Other than that, he's hit all the right developmental milestones, so yay Simon! And he dealt with his one shot (last Hep B) like a champ.

And thankfully, his appetite finally returned with a vengeance this weekend, and he ate and drank up a storm.

These photos are for Jonathan... if you can read the full text of the shirt through the three photos, you'll see it says "UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs." :) This was a hand-me-down from Zoe and Owen - fits perfectly right now! (Though as you can see in the photos, he crawled right out of his jeans just before these photos....)




He's a peanut, but he's sure a happy peanut!
