Will - 18 month dr. appt.

Will had his 18 month well-baby check at the doctor's office on Tuesday morning.

His stats:
Weight - 26.4 pounds (50th -75th percentile)
Length - 34 inches (90th percentile...I knew he looked tall!)
Head Circumference - 19.5 inches (90th percentile...what can I say, I think he has some big brains in there) :)

In my effort to compare my 2 children at 18 months, I scrolled back on the blog to February of 2010...when Keatin would have been 18 months old. Below is what I found.

Josh took Keatin to her re-check with the ENT this morning...and her 18 month well-baby check. According to daddy, both appointments went well...and that is about all the details I got. :) :) Josh said she weighed in at 24 pounds even.

I laughed when I re-read this post...because I can remember Josh coming home from one appointment, me asking him for all the "vital" weight/height information, and he announced that "they don't give you that paper anymore." Uh-huh, right hon. I am positive you didn't just leave it there. :)

Oh well...not shocking at all to me that Will weighs more than Keatin at 18 months...over 2 pounds more! And when I was lugging him around this morning, I decided 26 pounds is way too much weight to be carrying around!!! No wonder my back hurts some days!

Dr. Paschen recommended Will start taking Miralax everyday to help with his pooping problems...and I hope it works...poor guy. :( Will also got 2 shots...which he HATED...and I hated. Poor babies - so unassuming when the nurses come at you with those needles. But I had to giggle to myself Tuesday afternoon when I got Will up from his nap...there were 2 bandaids laying on the floor next to his crib...apparently he did not want those on his legs anymore and chucked them over the side of the crib.

Will was a great little patient and was reported to be "perfect." I think this mama knew that already. :)
