Runt

Jordon went in for his 1 yr. wellness exam today and we discovered he wasn't so well. He has a bad ear infection and needed some antibiotics. He's also had a cough and congestion, so with all of that going he didn't get his immunizations today. He was 29 inches tall (apparently in the 25th percentile) and weighed in at 19.5# (in the 10th percentile). A few people have said to me that he looks small for his age but I hadn't thought too much of it. Dr. Erickson's not concerned about it and thinks some of the infections he's had, including the RSV, may have set him back some over the past few months. He's growing so that's what counts. I would think that the fact he is so active could be part of it too. The kid has got to be burning some serious calories with racing everywhere he goes.
