Hank: 5 Year Stats

Hank is FIVE!

Hank had his annual check-up with Dr. Bartenstein.  We had to have a discussion about Hank's frequent ear infections and he has a visit to the ENT coming up soon to talk about next steps.  He's just under 46 inches tall (over 95th percentile) and weighs 45 pounds (77th percentile).  We love our well-rounded guy so much and are really excited to see what kindergarten has in store for him this fall!<95th 45="" and="" can="" come="" doing="" fall="" for="" great="" guy="" have="" he="" him="" how="" i="" imagine="" in="" is.="" is="" kindergarten="" lbs="" love="" nbsp="" only="" p="" percentile="" so="" store="" th="" the="" things="" ur="" well-rounded="" well="" will="">
