Logan had his 14 month appointment today. He’s average height and average head circumference, but WAY below what his weight should be. He’s 19 pounds – which means he’s in the 3rd percentile.
This also means that he has to stay facing backwards in his car seat for a little while longer. It’s actually not such a big deal because that means he can still see Burke and Maggie – who sometimes entertain him while we’re all in the car. (Burke likes to make Logan giggle – it’s pretty cute.)
So…here’s the thing. Logan eats about what the twins eat – put together. So I really don’t get why he’s so little. The other thing is, he doesn’t really LOOK little. Sure – he’s no linebacker, but he’s not all skin and bones either. And he’s pretty solid. He’s not walking yet – but I’m fairly certain that’s due to lack of confidence rather than anything physical. He’s never crawled “right” (he lifts his right leg up to “stand” on it and then drags his left leg/knee along) – but he’s super fast with his own method, and the doctor isn’t worried about that at all. He cruises around furniture and climbs up the stairs…and has started to climb onto the kiddie chairs that Burke and Maggie have with their kiddie table. He’s babbling, but not really talking. (He does say “more” when he wants food though.)
The doctor isn’t worried about anything, so I’m just going to assume that he’s a little kid…just like his siblings 🙂
