So... here are the measurements:
He's supposedly 34.5 inches (I still don't put much stock in the way they measure this) long which puts him in the 63rd percentile! Woo-hoo.
James now weighs 26 pounds which puts him in the 30th percentile! I think that's an all time high for him.
His BMI is 15 which she said is good for his age.
They didn't do a head circumference measurement.
Now we can switch to 2% milk, so I think we can all drink from the same bottle now. And he can start eating nuts and shellfish, although in small portions to begin with, just to be safe.
It is worth mentioning that James was none too happy to actually be there today. The first strike was that he had to be woken from a great nap in order for me to get him to the appointment in time, so he was cranky. Then I pulled into the doctor's office lot, and he got so upset. I think Tuesday's eye exam was still a fresh memory, because he was very anxious especially when the nurses and doctor came in. The nurse asked him if he wanted to go outside in order to get him to walk down to the scale. He was so happy! "Yeah!" he said running down the hall to the door. He got pretty angry when he wasn't allowed out the door and was instead asked to step onto the scale. I had to hold him and step on, then get weighed by myself, so his weight was determined mathematically.
Anyway, he calmed down a bit after that, but got riled up again when the doctor came in. However, as soon as his shot was finished (Hep B), he was soooo happy-- all smiles, Chatty McChatterson. Come on.
So, there you have it.
We did the eye drops tonight. (A big thanks to James's teacher, who is also the nurse at his daycare, who taught us a good technique for restraining him for the application.)
