One Year Stats

So we have been to see a pediatrician, a general practitioner, and a health clinic nurse, who have each weighed and measured little Jacob. Each of those visits was for a different issue, but more on that later.

Anyway, they all agreed on his stats:
WEIGHT: 17.5 pounds (7.8 kgs roughly)
HEIGHT: 28.5 inches

Now, he is still a little below the 10th percentile for both weight and height, but he is still consistent. We need to track his growth and go back to see the GP in three months to make sure that he is continuing to increase or maintain percentiles, rather than dropping. The long and short of it is that he is a little guy, a healthy little guy (who gets into everything!) but he's smaller than average, so they want to keep an eye on him.

Here's his birth stats for comparison's sake:
WEIGHT: 5 pounds 12 ounces
HEIGHT: 18 inches.

Translates into: itty bitty.

Way to grow, Mr.J!
