Oliver's 12m check-up

Weight: 17# 3oz (<5%)
Height: 26 inches (<5%)

Little Dude graduated from using the baby scale to the big scale, which he happily and proudly stood up on. It was so cute, and got the "aww"s from a nearby couple. His petiteness kind of surprised me, though, since I thought he was bigger/taller. Some 12m clothes are on the small side, and most 18m clothes fit him just fine. Must be his fluffy cloth-diapered bum filling them out. :P

Dr. asked if we were still breastfeeding, and I said of course. He said good for you, and asked if he was getting any other food. Not in a "OMGz, but you ARE feeding him OTHER stuff right?!" way, but in a just curious way. No mention of feeding him more food to bulk his weight up, or him needing supplements, etc. I :heart: our BF-friendly BF-supportive pediatrician.

Then he asked what I would say to a flu shot in the fall. I told him I would say "no thank you". LOL (He's pro-vax, but after a few conversations when Abbie was little, he's respective of my choice now that he knows it's an informed one.)

And that's pretty much it. His 18m check-up falls in January, so unless needed, we'll be skipping it, as I'm not going to take him in during cold/flu season.
