Just a little doc appointment

Leo had a checkup with his doctor today for two reasons: 1) to check on his weight gain and 2) to get his booster (2nd) flu shot.
His height is 27.5" now, which is about 51st percentile. His head circumference is 17.75, so about 62nd percentile. Little man is still pretty skinny though, weighing in at 16 pounds and 6 ounces, about 8th percentile. BUT when he went a couple of weeks ago his weight was at 7th percentile. So the doctor thinks he may have finally leveled out. He said we still want to keep an eye on him since he's a little on the skinny side, but it's not really anything to be too worried about. Obviously, not every baby can be average.
And of course the flu shot made him scream and cry, but I had a Mommy hug and a bottle ready to go, so he didn't cry for long.
