Elijah’s 1.5 Year Stats

I took Elijah to the pediatrician today for his 1.5 year wellness check and he checked out great, aside from his black fingernail, skinned knuckles, multiple bruises on his shins, and a few mosquito bites, that is.  She was asking me about his mobility to be sure he was developing well.  She wanted to know if he climbs and maneuvers and I said yes, just enough to get himself in trouble, see the evidence?  (Josiah also has a bruise on his face, so we are doing great lately!)

Josiah always hates taking Elijah to the doctor because he is very concerned Elijah will get shots.  He always spends part of the time assuring Elijah that he’s ok.  So sweet.  Well, Elijah did get vaccines this time, but they both got to get stickers, so he was ok with it. 

Here’s his stats for today:

Height                   32 3/4”              60%

Weight                22# 12 oz             15%

Head                     46.6cm               20%

He’s still a light weight, percentage-wise, but he’s trucking along on his own growth curve!

He was a bit on the fussy side this morning before his appointment, then he started to cry when she measured his head (go figure) and that open mouth cry helped me to see why…all 4 of his canine teeth are just under the surface!  It could be a long week!  He did great for the rest of the exam and just cried a bit for the vaccines.  A quick lunch with Daddy brightened him right up, then he was off to nap.

Let’s hope there are no more doctor visits until his already scheduled 2 year visit.  Fat chance! :)  It is always my goal, though.
