He received a clean bill of health! Hooray!
With that good news came two shots (his third/last Hepatitis B and PCV-Pneumococcal) plus a prick on his thumb for a blood draw for his Anemia Screening. (They check the iron level in kids at this age. They will call me with the results this next week.)
Jay was doing so great this week sleeping through the night, but last night we took a step back again (awake at 11, 11:30, and then 12:30 to 1:45). I received a "pat on the back" so to speak from the pediatrician with what I've been doing to help train Jay to sleep through the night so that made me feel better about my gut instincts.
Yes, his weight is "low" according to the charts, but it is no cause for concern since babies this age range in weight greatly depending on their activity levels. He has typically been on the "light" side anyway up until now. I know he is eating until he is full and he is happy and healthy so I'm not concerned in the least. It is fun to see that he continues to be "tall" for his age. Perhaps Jay will be taller than his Daddy some day (that is what Dad hopes).
