Medical Story

New stats for Korbin:

Weight: 20.94 lbs. (3% for age)
Height: 31.5 in. (25% for age)
Head: 46.2 cm (25% for age)

He has gained a little over half a pound since his last appointment on January 22. He has grown 1.5 inches and his head has grown .7cm. I told the doctor that we were concerned with his small size and she said that "some kids are just tall and skinny"! She didn't seem worried since he is growing at a steady rate. She wants us to continue feeding him a variety of foods and monitor his weight.

Dr. Jones said everything looks great and that he's a healthy little boy. Korbin likes the new doctor, too. He even smiled at her during the exam. Previous doc appointments have been a struggle with Korbin crying and fussing the whole time. Korbin didn't cry at all (except when they gave him a shot). He loved the office and all the cool things (murals, train that goes along the ceiling, and fun stuff for kids).
