Moving on up

Today was Cannon's 18th month doctor visit. I must admit, I was a little nervous about going to see the pediatrician because of what she told us at Cannon's 15th month appointment. Three months ago Cannon's doctor told us that if his height did not improve by 18 months, they would run some x-rays on him to find out the reason for his growth restriction. I hate the ridiculous growth curve charts doctors base a child's development on. How accurate are those things anyway? I mean, if you look at Blaine and I, you will quickly notice that we are not tall people. Therefore, we will probably not have 6 foot tall children. Anyway, as it turned out, Cannon is now moving on up the growth curve instead of continuing down the curve and off of the charts completely. Good news for us! Cannon is now in the 10th percentile for height at 30.5 inches and in the 15th percentile for weight at 23.5 lbs. We hope he continues to slowly move up the curve instead of down from here on out.
