I'm a Little Shrimpy


Am I a shrimp? Oh yes I am. 
I tip the scales at just BARELY over 10 lbs. Yep, that's right folks, I'm only 10 lbs and 2 oz.  The doc wasn't too pleased with that (seeings as how next week I'll be 5 months old.)  That puts me in the <3 percentile-- not really great! So now my mommy gets to figure out how to fatten me up. If you have any ideas, let her know! I act full and satisfied and I eat rather often... I'm just a skinny minnie.

My other stats- I'm 23 1/2 inches tall (10th %) and my head is in the 5th %.  But I'm happy, strong, and full of cute smiles for all!

My sister got weighed today too. A funny little story about her is that yesterday Mommy told her she was going to get a flu shot.  She thought this was a good idea.  But then the nurse said she didn't need a shot, she was going to get the flu mist spray up her nose.  Well, Tianna did NOT like this at all.  She wanted the shot and was screaming, "I want a shot! I want a shot!" until Mommy suggested they just pretend to give her a shot just to make her happy.  It worked.  She was satisfied and she got her flu-mist vaccine too. She's so silly.  I on the other hand, didn't want to get shots, but had to....  I wish I could have just had a spray up my nose.

If you find something to fatten your girl up with give me some pointers too! Kaylynn was only 14 lbs at her 6 month check up which is 10th percentile. Maybe she's just going to be petite!

awwwww, what a cute little shrimpy!
Emma has kinda been a shrimp for a while too...she just recently FINALLY had a growth spurt and now she weighs almost 14 lbs.
Do you feed her any solid foods yet? my dr said that is supposed to help with the weight gain...and I think thats what did it for Em.

LOVE the red dresses!!! Anne didn't even get on to the growth chart until her 3 yr. old check-up. Some kids are just small.
