15 months!

Jacob had his 15 month well child checkup today with Dr. Lester. He now weighs 21 lbs, 8 ozs and is 2'7" tall! I was a little surprised at how small he is compared to other boys his age. His weight in only in the 10th percentile which means 90% of other 15 month old boys weigh more than him. Not a huge deal, but I was surprised. Normally doctors are pretty concerned with a lack of weight gain, but she could tell how active Jacob is just by the way he was buzzing around the room. She said as long as he is meeting developmental milestones, which he is, then his actual weight isn't important. His development is the best indicator of whether or not he's getting the proper nutrition, so no need to worry!
