Yesterday Amadisto "Booji" Sol McCarroll Gallegos had his one-year check up. Overall, Dr. Eddy Lau was very impressed with the kid, especially with his size. Dr. Lau said Amado is as big as his own two-year-old!Here are the measurements:
Head: 48cm / 19.2" (98 percentile for kids his age!)
Length: 80cm / 31.4" (90 percentile)
Weight: 12.7kg. / 23lbs. 5 oz. (62 percentile)
We discussed Amado's sleeping problems with Dr. Lau (for instance, the kid was up and SCREAMING from 12:00 - 3:00 last night, then woke up at 5:45 this morning). Dr. Lau prescribed ferberizing him (here's one view, here's another). Let me tell you, that's going to be really hard. And really loud. Sorry in advance to our neighbours in the apartment building!
Amado also got two big shots at yesterday's check up (measles and meningitis). Perhaps that was what the yelling was about? Or maybe it's the ongoing teething? Night frights? Who knows???

What a jolly looking fellow...of course he doesn't know yet about the ferberization....(I love this photo..)
ReplyDeletewow, he is cute and 31" is pretty darn good. I just checked my still-hanging growth chart for my 12 yr old son and he was 30 1/2" at 11/2 yrs old! Also, the "ferberization" technique did work for my kids, though harder on you than your child... good luck with that. peace and love, Sharon
