As most people know and can tell, Jonah is very small. So small that he has actually gone down in height percentile from the 10th to the 1st and the doctor said we needed to see a Pediatric Endocrinologist, a.k.a. growth hormone doctor. In about a month, Jonah has to have a four hour test where they put an iv in, then give him growth hormone and then take his blood every 30 minutes to see if the hormones affect him. If they do, he will have to have daily growth hormone injection shots for the next twelve years. I came across these pictures the other day (just to give you an idea):
picture taken on May 17, 2008 (Jonah was 10 months old)
In the same exact outfit, picture taken June 23, 2009, Jonah is 35 months old
Here are just some cute pictures I took the other day
