This morning we went for the one year check up. His stats we as follows:
Weight: 17 lbs 12.6 ounces (<5th%)
Height: 29 inches (25th%)
Head: 18 inches (25th%)
So, again this time our main issue is his weight. He is still low for his age but the doctor was happy because at least he is trailing along and not dropping, on the charts. He gave us a few suggestions to get his weight up. We will try less milk and focus more on solids. Although at this point that is tricky because he still has no teeth, which he assured us was normal and can sometimes take up to 18 months. We are gonna try some Pediasure as well, for extra calories We will go back in December to see him for another weight check.
We also discussed his development. Socially and physically he is doing well. It's his language we are going to work on. Some things we want to see: him waving bye bye, saying some words other than da da, and pointing out familiar objects.
Overall, he got a clean bill of health. We are so fortunate to have a happy and healthy little boy!
