So I guess I have a short fat baby!

We went to DS's 2 yr checkup today (no shots!!).  He was 40% for height and 70% for weight!  I was amazed considering that he never eats.  He always looks so lean and tall to me!  We did get chided for giving him too much milk.  And we were told to move him to 2% and to only give him milk at his main meals and to give him water the rest of the time.  I'm not sure how well that's going to go over with DS!  It'll be a trial for sure!  They did test for him anemia but he's good!  So a healthy two year old overall!

How much does he weigh and how tall is he?

DS was 29pounds (50%) and 35 1/2 inches (70%) at his appt. We too were told to switch from Whole milk to 2%. I still haven't made that switch. He eats wonderfully and healthy, but I still think he needs that extra fat. He looks lean to me too.

Well if your boy is short and fat, mine is tall and fat!  L was in the 90% percentile for both height and weight.  But he also looks tall and lean to me, so who knows.  I say, as long as they are healthy, its fine with me!

He was 32lbs 7.8 ozs.  I think he was 33 or 32 inches.  I can't remember the specifics on that.  I didn't bring the paper with me.  He does have a big head though!  He was 70 percentile for head circum!
