18 month check up

Ok, so John is more like 19 1/2 months, but I had to wait so I could get an appointment with his pediatrician, Brad Lewis. So, he was checked over and then sent for his two shots, DTaP(diphtheria, Tetnus, and , Pertussis or whooping cough) and HepA.

John ran into the injection room and Charles held him on his lap and we read him Baby Animals, asking him to find the duck over and over (he loves ducks). He got one shot in one leg, and then the other and he didn't even cry! What a big boy! We was a little upset but then it was done, so I grabbed him up and kissed him.

Now, for the numbers:



Height 3 feet and 1/4 inches (99.44% percentile for height for age)

Weight 30lb, 6 oz (89.81% percentile for weight for age)

Body Mass index 16.25

Head circumference 19.5 inches (86th percentile for age)

What a big brave boy! I can hardly wait to see what he thinks of Elizabeth's ducky bathroom. Thanks for the update.
