Parenting after 35

18 month stats

Yep.. I still have a tall, skinny kid!  But I'm relieved he isn't losing ground.

Jumped up to the 70th percentile for height -33 1/2 inches.  Grew about 2 more inches in the past 3 months!!

50th percentile for head.. I think it was 48 cm

And we're holding steady in the 10th percentile for weight... 22lb 11 1/2 oz. 

Doc is actually very pleased since he'd been sick last month and hadn't gained anything at that point since his 15 month appt. at the end of Jan.   So he's put on about a pound in the last 6 weeks.  That's huge for Charlie!

And of course, he had some sort of odd looking rash on his torso today.  I told her he was probably teething again so she let it go.

Whew!!  I was dreading a "Failure to Thrive" label being slapped on my little peanut.

  • Yay, Charlie!  I fear that label too, even though Margaux is active and hitting milestones.  It's okay to be little!

    I hear ya.  When he had RSV in Feb/March he had dropped down to the 7th percentile and we've practically been force feeding him to fatten him up a bit.  The kid just does not like to eat much.  It's been a little bit better lately, but he still only really eats purees. 

    I do love our pedi, since she is never alarmist and always says how great he looks, even if he's skinny.

    I guess both my hubby and I were both scrawny little kids, so he does take after us.  Let's just hope he doesn't balloon up when he's 30-something.. like us!! HA

  • Thanks goodness for a good appt. It good to hear he is doing well.  Personally, I would love the 70/10% stats for myself.

  • I know, I know!   Mommy has misplaced the patch cable for the camera.  

    Needless to say, he is in serious need of a haircut.  Or he'll become a country music singer since he already has the mullet.

    Plan to tear the house apart this weekend to find it.
