Benjamin's Doctor Visit

We went to the doctor this last Thursday and he is a healthy boy, but the doctor is a little concerned about his weight. Here are his stats from his visit:


Weight:                     21 lbs.           Percentile:    6%
Height:                      30.5 in.          Percentile:   26%
Head Circumference:  46.5 cm.        Percentile: 28%

So overall he's a pretty small boy. He dropped from the high eighties for height down to 26%.

Here are some other things Benjamin is doing:

*He likes to scribble and we have to be careful that he doesn't get a pen or he'll write  all over the couch.
*He says 'dog' 'more' and ball'.
*He loves to imitate us in what we are doing.
*Benjamin is very independent and loves to do things by himself, especially feeding himself. He is getting a lot better at using silverware.
*He loves to read books. He'll grab a book and plop down into our lap so we will read it to him.
*He loves to dance. When he hears music he'll start bobbing up and down. Lately he's been adding some foot movement into his routine as well :)
*Benjamin is starting to drink out of regular cups. He drinks out of a sippy cup but when he gets the chance he would rather try a big cup.
*He is starting to clean things up.
*He likes to throw trash in the garbage can.
*He loves playing in his pool and sandbox.

That's all I can think of right now. I will keep you updated!
