Payton went in for his one year check yesterday. Poor baby. He got the regular 4 shots, but the doctor also wanted to take blood and run some tests because he's so little. He weighs 15 lbs 6 oz. He gained ALMOST a pound in 3 months. The doctor said that for him to be in the 5th percentile he needs to weigh 19 lbs. He's not on the charts right now. He's been gaining weight, just not very much so he's hasn't really been on the charts at all anyway. So he wants to check for things like anemia. He didn't say what else he was checking for but I know there's other things. So then the nurse at the doctors office tried to take blood from him, but her needle wasn't small enough. So then we had to go to the hospital and have the other arm poked. Poor kid, he got poked so many times. But he's doing good today. We have to just try and bulk him up. Give him lots of fatty food and try and make him gain weight. But besides being small, everything else was great. Developmentally and everything. The doctor doesn't think anything is wrong with him because he's happy and healthy, so the only reason we're doing the tests is because of the numbers. I don't think anything is wrong with him either. I think he's just small. But we'll see how the tests come back.

I am willing to donate any of my unwanted fat to the cause! Mr. Payton I am going to start bringing you candy bars!
Don't worry My niece is barely 20 pounds and is 18 months old. She is just little but makes up for it in personality!! The doctors have never found anything that I know of on her either.. She is just petite.
