A growing toddler.
Thursday, February 25th, 2010We just had August’s 2 year “Well Baby” doctor’s appointment yesterday.
He is in the 25th percentile for weight, and 50th percentile for height. He’s been holding there for a while now. When he was born, he wasn’t a very big baby. At his 3 month appointment, he was in the 5th percentile for weight, and [...]
