One year stats

So I'm 2 months late in posting. As little c would say, UH-oh!

Weight - 22 lbs 5 oz 29th percentile

Height - 30.5 inches 56th percentile

Head - 18.9 inches 84th percentile

Summary: Big headed child on an average height body that doesn't weigh as much as you'd think for the amount he eats.

Little c's weight was really surprising. I thought he'd weigh 23 lbs at a minimum, especially since he weighed just shy of 23 lbs in early January when he saw Dr. Rachel for another ear infection, or was it croup, or maybe the bad rash. Anyway, I think when he had his 1 year check-up he'd been just coming off another hunger strike.

He still continues to impress us with his eating. Just last night he ate a big bowl of corn and crab chowder, bread, cherry tomatoes, peaches and yogurt. The other night he polished off chicken with dijon pan sauce, buttered noodles, peas, carrots and grapes, and he probably could have had seconds. His report from school always talks about what a great eater he is too. I'm convinced the kid has a high metabolism rate. I'm worried that now that he's walking he'll be burning even more calories and getting slim and losing those fabulous cheeks. I think I need to introduce more bacon, ice cream and cheese into his diet to compensate.

His new trick is feeding himself. He is Mister Independent through and through when it comes to eating as evidenced below.
