Mr. 3-5%

Yesterday was Nikita's 18 month appointment (I still can't believe he's 1 1/2 years old! And to think a year ago, he had no teeth and could barely sit up by himself). Here are his stats compared to white boys in Colorado:

Weight: 3-5%
Height: 25%
Weight/Height ratio: 5-10%
Head Circumference: 75%

The doctor's not worried about the weight because he said Nikita's always been a "3-5% kind of guy". Head circumference is consistent as well: Nikita still has a big head.

I was impressed because Nikita barely noticed the two shots given to him in the legs. Last night, however, Nikita woke up crying at 4 am, presumably because he couldn't find his pacifier. I looked EVERYWHERE with no success. Nikita just laughed at me.
