Well first off, I'm happy to report that Finn is healthy as can be! From his 6 month appointment he gained a whopping 1/2 inch and 1.5 lbs. He is 27 inches tall and weighs in at 17 pounds. Which puts him at 10th percentile for height and 5th for weight! The weight isn't what concerns me, only because Finn is incredibly active and always on the go. Plus I know he's getting enough formula and enough to eat (3 meals a day plus snacks). It's his height that somewhat concerns me. But then I snap back to reality and remember that I am only 5 feet tall. And as a kid (ok and as an adult) I never got over that 5th percentile mark. But SAD. I asked the doctor if I should be concerned about anything and he said no. He said starting at about 9 months is when kids start to portray what percentile they will really be in, so we will have a better idea at his 12 month appointment what this trend is going to be like. He's healthy and that's all that matters!
I'll leave you with a message from Jack. Tom taught this to him about 6 months ago. Pathetic I know. But now he actually has a reason to say it. This is a tribute to Randy Moss.
Me: How are you going to pay for that Jack?
Jack: Straight Cash Homey
That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteTell Tom to get Jack to say "Superbowl homeboy" then he will be a true Vikings fan.
Finn has his momma's (petite)gene. Glad he is doing well.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Jack is such a character!
What a cute lil peanut that Finn is!! 17lbs....I'll let you know what Ryder is at his 6 month appt next week. He was 16.2lbs at 4months....and let's just say he has gotten a TAD chubbier since then.
ReplyDeleteJoe and I loved the "straight cash, Homey" video too :)
Carly - Jack weighed 20 lbs when he was 9 months old! It really is crazy how different kids can be!
