So his stats are this:
Height: 28.25 inches (2.84% based on age)
Weight: 18lb, 9 oz (8.24% based on age)
Here's some visuals:
Those 2 charts show you the percentages I mentioned above, but this chart shows weight based on length and while I don't know the specific number, it looks to be around 40%.
That tells me that Noah is short. No surprise there considering I'm 5'3" and David is maybe 5'8". Noah will never be tall. But when you compare his weight based on the fact that he is short, he's ok. I'm not sure the doctor looked at it that way, but he definitely wasn't concerned. The doctor said that he is eating well and output is good as well as his grip and strength look strong, so no worries. At this age, he is just a calorie burner and everything that comes in gets expended quickly, which I can attest to seeing as he is always on the move.
Speaking of "on the move", Noah is sooooo close to walking. He will now stand on his own for a good while and can even take several unassisted steps between toys or to a person. If he gets too excited, he will try and run and then fall. Soon enough he will get the hang of it and walk everywhere.
I'll post his 1 year pictures from the professional photographer soon. In the meantime, will you click on the "Top Baby Blogs" link and vote for my blog (it has been reset recently). One final item: You should click on the link for the "Change 3 Things" campaign. It's for Cotton Babies and if you change 3 of your baby's diapers in cloth per day, you could save a lot of money ($260 a year) and slowly change the landfill waste problem. I'm, of course, a huge fan of cloth diapers, so feel free to ask me any questions.
