Height: 28 1/2 inchesWeight: 18.02 lbs
He is not on the charts, but he is growing. All of his "failure to thrive" blood work came back fine. No issues. He is boarder line anemic, meaning he is barely in the normal range, so we will be checking this regularly. Dr. Smith is very happy with his progress.
I am beginning to think he was allergic to something in my breast milk. Since weaning him, 3 months ago, he has gained weight and his breathing issues have disappeared. Only time will tell if it was the breast milk or the fact that we finally received some warm weather around here. We'll be monitoring it as the seasons change. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will be healthier this fall and winter compared to last year.
We are keeping him on formula for a few more weeks and we will be keeping him on the iron fortified baby cereals for as long as he will let me spoon feed him. We are also continuing to calorie pack his food. We are hoping to add another pound or two by the time we go in for his 15 month check up.
Another big milestone is he is officially a walker. He decided to finally start walking everywhere instead of crawling. Unfortunately this happened while I was out of town. I guess it is pay back for Noah walking while we were in California and Dan was stuck at home in Utah. The only problem is he isn't too good about stopping, so he is constantly running into things. When he falls he also has to crawl over to the couch or a chair in order to stand back up. It's progress and he couldn't be more proud of himself for his accomplishment. As I've stated before, he was my earliest crawler, but my latest walker. I know you are not supposed to compare your children, but I was beginning to wonder about him. I basically chalked it up to laziness.
