Check-Up Time


This morning we had Seth's 18 month check-up. He had fun playing in the lobby with a 16month old girl, and walked back like a big boy when they called him name. Everything was fine until I took his clothes off, then he acted like we were going to torture him getting his weight and measurements. His appetite has been non-existent this week, and it showed, he's back to 10th percentile for weight. He is 32 inches tall, making him 50th percentile still for height. The crying stopped as soon as we got in the exam room, and he sat in my lap and ate an entire box of raisins. He was fine for his check-up, although they do want us to go for a speech evaluation in January for the "uhuh"s. Only one shot this time, Hepatitis A. He hated it, but once again was forgiving after being given a DumDum. So if we can stay away from the germs, next check up is in June! I thought this picture was funny...this morning Seth wanted a banana at 6:30, and he wanted to eat it like a big boy...

In our house, those chunks of banana that are not sliced are called "the monkey piece," as that is what our simian friends eat in the jungle.
