18mth Checkup

Yesterday was Liam's 18mth checkup. He now has a new doctor, Dr. Mas. She is really nice and I like her, but I really loved Dr. Lockhart. Dr. Mas is very soft spoken and comes off shy, the total opposite of Dr. Lockhart, who is very energetic and outgoing. While we were there we had to go over Liam's chart since he was a new patient and I had to explain some things like his head injury he got when he was 4mths old.

Liam now weights..? Well we aren't 100% sure but its somewhere between 26lbs 9oz and 28lbs 2oz. He was a basket case at the doctors office. In fact, when Dr. Mas came in his chart said vitals-screaming. I had to laugh, he's never that bad. His head is and even 18inches which makes him at 5% which is up from the 3% from last time. His height we were better able to get. He is now 34-3/4inches tall making him the 99%. He meet all his milestones which includes walking backwards, 8 words, knows 3 body parts, point at objects on a page, feeding himself with spoon and fork, and following simple instructions. When she asked if he knew 8 words I laughed and said yes. The nurse then had me list off the words he knew...please, thank you, welcome, up, snack, dog, milk, water, car, air plane, tree, ...."ok, you can stop now". He didn't let them look at his ears or teeth, and refused to let them listen to his heart. Then there was the shots. Oh Goodness, what a day.
