OK, he's still *really* tiny, but Colton's pediatrician was THRILLED that he gained some needed weight. His growth curve had a huge upward spike this time. She is not concerned and made me feel better that my son is a peanut - a healthy peanut though!
He got a hemoglobin check (heel prick) which came out fine, and a flu shot. He gets a flu booster next month and a chicken pox shot at 15 months. She also told me to finish up his bottle of Zantac for his reflux, but I didn't need to refill it - Yeah!
I asked her about his lack of teeth and she said that they aren't concerned until they are 15 months and still toothless. She felt his gums and thought I should see some teeth very soon.
Also, he can go to whole milk next month, which means that he will have never had formula! Wow. I can't believe that I have nursed for this long! Yeah me!

I am thrilled as well. I could tell from the pix he was getting wider. As far as the water bowl goes, I'd worry more about eating those golden tasty morsels next to it. We'll talk tonight. -Sis
