We had our appointment today at 11 with Dr. C. Here are his stats:
Height:
September 8, 2006 – 20.5 inches
September 8, 2007 – 29.5 inches
9 inches gained
Weight:
September 8, 2006 – 8 pounds 8 ounces
September 8, 2007 – 18 pounds
9 and a half pounds gained
Head Circ:
September 8, 2006 – don’t remember
September 8, 2007 – 17.5 inches
He is running on the same curve for height and head, however, he has fallen off the chart for weight. He was hovering down in the 10th percentile for the first 9 months, but now, he fell off. Dr. C is not overly concerned because he said “he doesn’t look unhealthy in any way, so we just need to keep doing what you are doing and get as much food in him as he will take”. Apparently our open floor plan (and his unending energy) means the calories he is taking in aren’t even getting into his system because he is CONSTANTLY on the move.
He still has his hernia, but it is starting to get a little better. Other than that…we are right on schedule. He was impressed at how many words Avery can say! He especially liked the “how now brown cow” and “Avery, what does a snake say”. I must say, I REALLY like Dr. C, he’s very nice and patient, even if he is a Packer fan! 
Like the hair?
I am going to steal Emily’s idea and take a picture of Avery at 5:21 pm tomorrow…one year to the minute!!
We had a great time this weekend. It’s really hard to take my eyes off of that little sweetie! Hope Todd didn’t get too many mosquito bites. Love, Grandma
We had a nice time at the birthday party. We were sorry we had to leave early. It was just one of those weekends where we were constantly on the go. We are looking forward to his 2nd birthday party. He is adorable.
