We went to the pediatrician this morning, and the appointment was delightfully short! We were on the road 30 minutes after our appointment time. Yeah! Vitals are 18 pounds 3.5 ounces (Karston usually weighs more, but he didn't eat much for breakfast this morning, and he had a huge poopy just before we left) and 29 inches tall. The doctor looked at his chart, noted that his height is still around the 5th percentile but that his weight increase is much flatter than the standard curve (meaning the 5th percentile line is going up faster than Karston's weight below that percentile), and asked if he were still breastfeeding, and yes he is. Apparently that's what the flatter weight curve means, and he'll catch up once he gives up nursing. Then we finished with the last round of standard vaccines (crying, of course, more I think about lying down and not standing than about the shots), and went out the door.
