1 Year Check Up Stats!!!

Peek!!!

This little guy had his 1 year check-up today and boy was I shocked!

He was in the 75% for height (no shocker there) at 30.5 inches

10% for weight (TOTAL SHOCK!) at 19 lbs. 11 oz.

10% for head (no shock) at 44.75 cm

I totally thought he was getting heavier and would weigh over 20 lbs.

Oh well - the Dr. said because he had grown 2 inches since last time he was just getting longer and leaner and she wasn't worried. He is going to be a tall, skinny guy!

She said he would pretty much have to do nothing and sit all day eating nothing but bad foods to even have a chance at gaining weight and becoming over weight. I guess that is a good thing - he won't ever have to worry about dieting!!! LUCKY boy!!!

He is healthy and happy, and doing well and that is really what matters anyways!

I have been worried about him that he can't sit up by himself if he is laying down, and that he only says mama and that is it......but the Dr. said she isn't worried at all and that he is fine.

He scoots around faster than ever on his bum, and has started to pull himself to standing on everything and even sort of move around things standing up, so he probably will be walking quite soon! It is odd to compare him to Cash and I have to remind myself constantly that I SHOULDN'T compare the 2 because he is different and marches to a different beat!

He is still the smiliest baby ever, and in fact was smiling at the nurse the entire time she pricked his foot and drew blood for the iron and hemoglobin test, and also right before he was to get his 3 shots (ouch!) Cash was a great big brother and after she bandaged his toe said "that is SO SO sad! Griffi, I am sorry you had to get hurt.....don't worry, it won't hurt too long. I don't have to get shots today!" It was sweet and sort of funny!

He might be little or at the small end of the stats, but he is SO HAPPY and way off the charts for personality and cuteness so we will take it and hope this next year brings more growth and fun learning for our little guy! We think he's a keeper! Love you Griffin!
