Skinny Boy

Finn has never chubbed up. We waited for it to happen but he's just a wirey, active little guy. At his six month MD visit he was 25th percentile in weight, around 17 lbs.

M. weighed him today with all his clothes on and it looks like he's somewhere around 16 and a quarter pounds. Yikes.

My nurse brains kicks in on stuff like this, ticking through all the physiological reasons he's okay. He was sick with vomiting and diarreah recently. He's been crawling for a month. He looks healthy, is energetic and engaging. He eats a ton.

There's no big reason to worry but it's still hard not to. Worry is to parenting like oxygen is to life. Does that comparison take you back to those standardized tests you had to take in grade school?

We need to take him in for his flu shot so we'll probaby check in with Dr. G. at that time.
