M 7 y.o. stats; J Man 9 month stats

Yesterday I ventured on the train with all three kids for a day out for fun - doctor visits and flu shots, a stop at two of our favorite parks, and melon pan at a favorite bakery in Roppongi Hills. The kids were troopers walking everywhere and after a few tears shed at the doctor, they were fine. It was a great day, one I will always remember...just having fun in the city. 

M's 7 year old stats are the following: 23.1 kg (50.9 pounds/75th percentile) in weight and 116.8 cm tall (45.98 inches/25th percentile).

J Man at nine months has the following stats: 7565 grams (16.68 pounds/5th percentile) in weight and 70 cm tall (27.55 inches/25th percentile). His chest circumference is 42.6 cm (16.7 inches) and his head circumference is 44.1 cm (17.32 inches). He dropped significantly in weight from the 25th percentile to the 5th percentile. The doctor was a bit concerned and suggested I supplement with formula in case my milk supply is low. One of my friends back home, who is a nurse, said he is probably fine and her kids did the same thing. 

It is so interesting how each of our children have such different physiques. The K Man is on the large size and is simply a big boy. We joke that our retirement is in his professional football earnings. Miss M is just average for the most part. And the J Man is our runt. I think he definitely got his obachan's traits as she is quite tiny and petite. 

Sadly the J Man had a cough and could not get his flu shot, so I will be taking him back another time for those 9 month shots. It will also allow me to weigh him a few times this  month and see if he puts on a bit of weight. 

It was such a beautiful fall day and we had fun enjoying some favorite things in Tokyo.
