Michael's doc. appt.

17lb 7oz (50th percentile)
27 1/2 in. (75-90th percentile)

What is with the 75-90th percentile thing. That seems kind of like a large range to me. In comparing to the other kiddos, Mike is a little bigger than Lily at 9 months and smaller than Andrew at 6 months (Andrew was 20 pounds at 6 months...little porker). He is long and lean. ;) Doctor didn't seemed concerned that he won't swallow his cereal or fruit and veggies. He certainly has no problem swallowing my milk, so she thinks he just isn't interested in anything else. And he's growing just fine on breast milk only, so there ya go. She did a little ouchie procedure on Mike's little -ahem- private area...poor guy. And he got 3 shots...yea for them combining 3 vaccines into one shot, so he got less pin-pricks! No one is too concerned he isn't rolling over yet...yay. And he is sitting up alone for about 10 seconds or more, so she was pleased about that. All in all, a very healthy, happy kid...thank heavens for that blessing!

On another note, I'm expecting a personalized parking space at the doc's office. I will be there in 2 weeks for Lily's 2 year appt., then 2 weeks after that for flu shots, then 3 weeks after that for Andrew's 5 yr appt, then 4 weeks after that for Michael's 9 month. And those are just well visits...let's hope no one gets sick enough to need to go to the doctor in between all those. It looks like a lot of suckers in my kids future. Suckers=bribery for being good for Mommy at appointments.
