Flaco

Ryder is our little Flaco (that's Spanish for skinny guy).  I took him for his 15 month checkup and he's barely on the chart for weight, just below 5%, weighing in at 20lbs. 3 oz.  He's 32" long and has grown 1 1/2" in the past three months, but only gained one pound.  His activity level combined with his lack of desire for whole milk = a very skinny boy.  The doctor didn't seem too concerned.  She did tell me that we should try to push the whole milk a bit more and not let him "snack" breastfeed.  Must have dedicated nursing times and not make the boob available whenever, wherever.  Okay, I can handle that.  I told her that he's a pretty good eater (except when he's throwing food off the tray) and I think he's just going to be built like daddy.  She said that being thin is not a problem and he's perfect in every way.  I completely agree.
