Six-Year-Old Checkup

Carter had his six-year-old checkup on Tuesday.  Other than being diagnosed with strep throat, our pediatrician was happy with his development and growth.  We got the usual "lecture" about eating more vegetables, but that was it.  Plus, no shots or finger prick!

Here are Carter's current measurements:

Height: 3'-9.5" (51st percentile)
Weight: 44 lbs (40th percentile)
BMI: 14.94 (36th percentile)

And his 5-year-old measurements for comparison:

Height: 3'-7" (50-75th percentile)
Weight: 40.2 lbs (50-75th percentile)
BMI: 15.26 (25-50th percentile)
