Today marks 15 months that LJ has been a part of our lives! In celebration...
LJ had the well-visit to the doctor that most 15-month-old children seem to have. He weighs 31 pounds and some-odd ounces and, the first time around, he measured 31 inches. We watched the nurse measure LJ and it was obvious that she did a haphazard job, so we measured him again once she left the room. They keep the measuring tape in the top drawer, so we do this all the time. According to our measurements…which are taken the same way (lay LJ down on the table, mark the top of his head, stretch out leg, mark bottom of foot, pick LJ up, measure between the lines), LJ is 33 inches. This is a rather big difference and moves him from the 50th percentile to the 97th percentile. He needs credit for these inches as his weight puts him in the 97th percentile. He is starting to look a little leaner in the belly area. LJ received 4 shots at this visit…one of them the dreaded DTP…which includes tetanus. This is the one that causes crankiness for a couple of days and it did not disappoint.
LJ says, “Will you be my Valentine?”
Happy Valentine’s Day!

I never trusted the measurements either, until the girls were old enough to stand up straight for them! And if LJ has a trick to looking slimmer in the belly area, do share it with me!
