18 Month Check Up

Friday we went to Austin's 18 month check-up. It was finally a trip to the Dr. that he wasn't sick!! He only had to get 1 shot this time and doesn't go back for a "well" check until he turns 2. I'm sure we will be back there before then..it's just inevitable. He is a healthy growing boy with both his ears and lungs being clear. Both which I was a bit worried about. We got another rx for his asthma meds at this time also just in case! He was very impressed with his vocabulary. He knows more than the average 20 words at this age. He talks and communicates very well even if it's a 10 minute tantrum in the kitchen floor because we have no more drinkable yogurt! He also was impressed with him not fighting me over food. He says that at this age they usually start testing and stop eating most fruits and veggies. He eats most anything you put in front of him including his favorite veggies...corn, green beans and carrots!!

His stats from his appointment were the following....

Weight: 27.14 lbs ----> 90%

Height: 33 1/2 in. ----> 80%

Head: 48.4 cm ---->80%

He is a BIG boy!! He's gotta be big to defend himself though!
