Skinny boy


E's 9-month dr. appointment was on Feb. 3, and he clocked in a bit on the skinny side. 19.4 lbs (30th percentile), 28.5 inches (59th percentile) and a big ol' 18.3-inch head (82nd percentile). Doc was a bit concerned about how he had slowed down, but I think at least part of the height was due to faulty measuring. But you can't deny the weight (down from 62nd percentile at his 6-month checkup), so Operation Pork-Up has commenced. Unfortunately, Elliott has very little interest in porking up, so I have a feeling this operation will be a failure! If anyone has any tips on how to get El to show interest in foods that aren't applesauce or pears, please let me know.
