18lbs. 10oz.

Anders now weighs 18lbs. 10oz. He is now 28 inches long. His weight is either at the 21% or 31% for a 10 month old baby. I can't remember. Something was one and something else was the other percentage, but I can't figure out to what the stray percentage relates. The most amazing percentage was that for a 10 month baby (Anders' adjusted age is 7 months and he remains more of a seven month baby) his head is at the 96th percentile!
Dr. Lepi was concerned about this development, until we talked doctor to doctor. He was worried that he had a premie head that was very long and not wide enough and growing too fast for the rest of his body. I then told him about how I had to special order glasses that were long enough to reach from my eyes to my ears and how I had to wear a high school red football helmet in 7th grade when everyone else had a white helmet. The other part of the football helmet story was in high school when they had a helmet big enough for me, but I didn't fill it up on the sides. So, like Anders, my head was really long, but not equally wide and I was late, not premature. His soft spot is closing up, so Dr. Lepi thinks the massive head growth should be coming to an end.
Everything else looked for with Anders. His lungs sound good. His right ankle and Achilles tendon are a bit tight, which happens in term babies, but is a bit more common in premies. He will have a physical therapy followup in Columbus this summer.
Sorry about the lack of recent pictures or video. When I load those items into our laptop, they disappear into the ether. Regarding the desktop, we had to delete some items for more memory. Then we tried to upgrade our antivirus software, but instead we now have no antivirus software on the desktop. The desktop is the same vintage as my senior year in college, so it has served us well for a long time. We are planning on getting a Mac in the next couple of weeks. We will have no viruses, no software to load, and it will have a camera built in, so we should be able to do all the things we have been doing, along with finally adding Skype to the equation.
We will probably also need to get a new car seat soon. Once he gets above 29 inches, we need to get an adjustable car seat, which could take him up to age 5, according to Dr. Lepi.
It's a rainy day here. I don't know if we will be able to go for a walk today. Anders is napping now. His morning nap was delayed by the appointment.
