13 Month Weight Check

This morning I took Owen to the doctor for a weight check. Since he's been pretty consistent with his weight and in consistent I mean consistently low the doctor wanted him to be weighted again. He's now 18lb 14.5oz. In a month he gained 13.5oz. Not bad, but I was hoping he'd be closer to 20lbs. He has another appointment scheduled for his 15 month check up so maybe then. The cool thing I learned today is they have percentage charts for his weight for his age, but they also have percentage charts for his weight for his length. The weight for length chart makes much more sense to me since Owen is not a typical 13 month old when it comes to his size so of course he's not going to measure up to other 13 month olds. If you go by his age Owen is only in the 2.33% for weight, but if you go by his length he is in the 18.98%. Big improvement!!
