Long and Lanky

I just got back from Lucas' six month check up. He is tall and thin like his Daddy. Maybe too thin, though. His weight was below the 5th percentile. 50% is average. GREAT! My kid is anorexic, yet he is still in diapers and a boy! Do boys ever have eating disorders? Can one of these doctors visits ever be normal?!

He also had his shots today, which made him scream (and me tear up). After all of the excitement, he came home and crashed. Yet it is time for him to eat. Should I wake him up to feed him or let him sleep and perhaps disappear into nothing?

ok, i didn't get the comment posted before mine, but i wanted to encourage you.
Lucas is not anorexic and i am certain that you are doing a great job as his mom. he will gain weight in his own time, or maybe God just wants him to be tall and thin... like a runner. hang in there.

ahh....Jen's right! you're gonna have a little runner kid! (somebody's gotta be #2, you know :-).

And i looked at Lucas' pic. he doesn't look anorexic. in fact, i think he's BIGGER.
