Today was Tanners 18 month well care check up. It's been 6 months since his last appointment, and I was anxious to see where he placed on all of the percentiles. I knew he would be getting some shots but tried not to think about it. Tanner also has a cold so I didn't know what was going to happen.......
So here are the stats: 32 1/2"(50% in height), average head size, and 21.9 lbs. (5% in weight.)( Yikes!!) Tanner has always been a little guy, and lately his appetite hasn't been the same but....... I just felt so awful! The Dr. wasn't too worried because he said Tanner looks like a very healthy boy, but suggested that we try and get as much high calorie food in him as we can. As for the shots I couldn't believe how great it went! I had heard some horror stories from friends so I was really anticipating the worst. Tanner didn't cry one bit. Just a few squiggles and it was all done. He was so good the nurse even gave him cookies : )
Other than the weight issue I thought my little man did a great job!
Hope everyone is having a good day!
I can't believe that Tanner is in the 5% for weight! He looks like such a healthy boy, not too skinny. not too fat. I wonder if part of that percentage scale is off because so many people are feeding their kids too much. There's a lot of fat babies out there! haha
ReplyDeleteGood idea with the blog, but hopefully we will see you often enough that we'll already know the news. Love ya Darlin
