It's May.

What's up everyone?

I am still working all the time and had to delay S's 9 month check up to June. I am starting to worry that he isn't growing too much... we will see what the numbers say at the appt though. Maybe he is just a small guy.

My bigs attitude is going to kill me. I am so tired of yelling at him.

Hey sarcaztic10! This board is so dead.

Pretty sure I have the smallest July baby, so I have lots of feels on size and growth. He was not even 16lbs (below 3rd percentile) at 9 months, and we scheduled another 6 week weight check. He's quite mobile now, so that's not helping him in gaining.

My big just turned 3. Threenager + mobile baby is a whole lot of madness.

I've been thinking about you comicSans and wanted to see how your little guy was doing weight wise. I'm sorry he seems to be dropping in percentiles. Big hugs as I know how stressful that is.

We are doing ok. E made it up to 20% weight-wise so I'm pretty happy with that. He moves non-stop but also eats a ton so hoping he can maintain his curve. He is having something going on with his left foot - it turns out pretty severely when standing and he kind of drags it when cruising. We are trying to get in to a pediatric orthopedist, but referrals take forever with the big hospital where we have to go. Hoping to be able to get an apppontment and a plan within the next few weeks. It's stressing me out a bit.

And plus 3 on my big kid killing me! 3 is a rough age.

S weighs in at 17 lbs in the dot for his 9 month check so he has me a bit worried too. We will just see how it goes... he eats a lot and nurses all the time so I'm not sure what's up.

I have been thinking about you as well comicSans I am glad you checked-in

Thanks for thinking of us! Aside from ds being small, we're doing really well. He's developmentally on track and his head circumference has stayed on a consistent curve so his pediatrician isn't really worried. We continue to think maybe he's just a weirdo that eats until he's no longer hungry, but not totally full. We have the 6 week weight check just to make sure we don't go the full 3 months to 12 months and find he's not growing. Pedi said she wouldn't necessarily do anything different in that time. I have tried some formula to supplement, and he doesn't reject it, but doesn't really drink it either. I wish he'd gain some weight so he's not all the way at the bottom, but there's not really anything else I can do.

rungirlrun sorry to hear about your ds's foot. Hope you get some answers soon.

Hope you both had a lovely Mother's Day.

Hi, ladies. I randomly checked here expecting to see nothing as usual, but surprise! A thread.

My little lady is petite, 16lbs, 8th percentile. She's bigger than ds was at this point, we apparently just make tiny kids. She's cruising and eating like a champ. She is the easy kid, my 3 year old is a terror.

DS weighs 18lbs13oz. This time they didn't tell me where he landed in the percentile.

Hi, Moms! M is growing, cruising, and taking some steps. He will be 10 months this week.

He was exactly 20 pounds on the nose at 9 months. Our concern has that he fell off his height curve. The pediatrician thinks his 6 month length might have been off and isn't going to worry until a year when we can see more clearly if one measurement was wrong but the rest are curving well.

I'm glad I checked back here. I'll try and pop in more often.

If it makes you guys feel any better, my daughter turns 1 in less than 2 weeks and is currently 15 lbs., 6 oz. She is on the preemie growth chart (7 weeks early) toward the bottom, but apparently that growth chart is supposed to end at 50 weeks, so...
I haven't been posting or getting on here much, and apparently the lack of posting on the boards overall have been an issue. But I think of you guys often. I'm kind of sad to be almost out of the baby stage forever - I love that stage!

Hi everyone! My son who is ten months this week, is rolling everywhere but no pulling to stand or real crawling yet only an army crawl to get things he really wants if they are directly in front of him. I am guess walking is gonna be a while my daughter walked right at 1 and she was crawling and cruising at this point.
