18 Month Check-up
We went to the doctor on Wednesday, April 18 for LJ's 18 month wellness check up, as well as his last round of shots until he is 4 yrs old! Below are his stats:
Height: 33 inches (50-75 percentile)
Weight: 28lbs 9oz (75-90 percentile)
Head circumference: 49.5 cm (90th percentile)
Doctor says he looks very good, 'healthy' weight, and we can go ahead and give him only 2% milk now (don't need extra fat on our little man)! Both the nurse and doctor were VERY impressed with his speech and vocabulary. After we read some books while his nurse was asking questions (and he said "read books, grabbed his book, and identified all the pictures in the book, then said "All done read book", etc), the nurse actually brought another nurse to see how well he could talk/ put words together! Doctor said this is well above 2 year old level! It was a proud moment for me- and they didn't even hear him count, say abcs, or anything that I have been impressed with lately!
I thought he was having a reaction to the shots the following day when he got a fever, but it turns out he probably caught another virus (Roseola most likely) and was sick and had fever throughout the weekend. And he got molar! Needless to say it was a long weekend for us, but by Monday afternoon we finally had our boy back!!
