FTG Stats @ 15 Months

Took Freddy to the pediatrician today - he apparently fell asleep for 1/2 hour in the car with Bill (while he was picking Doug up at the airport), so he arrived at the doctor's office only to have me wake him up, take him out of the carseat, and carry him up to a strange place for some poking, prodding, and three shots (I finally got him a flu shot).

He weighs 22 lbs, 13 oz, which is only in the 24th percentile! Funny, he doesn't look skinny...the doc says it's ok and that he thinks F is doing fine, just active and burning calories. More peanut butter for this kid.

He's 31 1/2 inches 'tall', which is the 60th percentile (up from 52nd at 12 months, hooray!), and his head is 49 cm (why do they measure heads in cm and height in inches?), which is in the 91st percentile. Once again, a big head. In fact, an even bigger head - he was in the 88th percentile at one year. Here's hoping it's not full of air.... :)

Shots :(

We had Freddy's 1 year appt with Dr. Lindgren this morning. Freddy did great! He was showing off his new walking skills, babbling away, and throwing the ball (sort of) with the doctor. Here are his new stats:
height 30" (52nd percentile)
weight 21 lbs 15 oz (35th percentile)
head circumference 48 cm (88th percentile; why this is in cm and his height is in inches, I don't know)
Does this mean he has a big brain? :)

The doc thought Freddy was doing great on all counts, and said not to worry about his weight slowing down.

The shots were a big bummer, but he got over them reasonably quickly. We'll see how tonight goes! Oh, and he might break out in a rash 10 days from now (i.e., for Doug and Christine's wedding) - nice.
