Vital Stats Update

Henry went in to meet his new doctor today and get some more vaccinations. After meeting the doctor, I felt very comfortable with her as she is very supportive of our philosophy in regards to breastfeeding and vaccinations. Henry got a three-in-one shot of DTaP, Hib, and Polio. The doctor in Savannah would have given him the DTaP and Polio together so I knew those two were safe to do together and I knew from my own research that the Hib vaccine does not have any aluminium in it and since he's had that one before and did not have an adverse reaction to it, I figured it was okay to do those three....especially because he only had to get stuck one time for all three! He weighed in at 17 pounds, 8 ounces and was 27 inches tall. Measured against other 8 month old that puts him in the 13th percentile for weight and 55th percentile for height. Measured against other 7 month olds obviously he's even higher up on the percentile charts. She said that he's right where he should be developmentally. While I think Dr. Ramos will forever be my favorite pediatrician, I am so happy to have found Dr. Gopal and I think this will be the beginning of a long relationship!
