Just got back from the pediatrician's and we have James' new stats:
Height: 29 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 19 lbs. 4 oz. (30th percentile)
Head Circumference: 45.25 cm (55th percentile)
The doctor said it's normal for babies who were on the high end of the scale in the beginning (such as James) to taper off and have their growth become less rapid as they get older. Good news is his iron levels are in a healthy range (we were a little concerned because he absolutely hates iron-fortified rice cereal no matter what I try to hide it in). The doctor did recommend trying a little chicken with James so we'll see how that unfolds-- I foresee some more melodrama from my Drama King. He's such a picky picky boy (think Corey & I are reaping our old habits in spades) so we'll see how it goes. Lucky for James, only one shot and one toe prick (for the iron test)-- yay!
