18 month check-up

As usual, James had a great check-up yesterday. He is right on track with all the developmental milestones, and his doctor loves that he is such an enthusiastic artist. In fact he insisted on drawing the entire time we were in her office. He also insisted on throwing a very large fit when we tried to weigh him. I understand, I wouldn't want to be in the middle of the hallway naked on a scale either. Not much would sooth him, but he stopped wiggling for about 2 seconds and the well seasoned nurse was able to get his weight. He was much better once his doctor arrived, James has always liked her.

Her first comment was "James must really love food". This surprised me because as most of you know I have a hard time getting James to eat. I guess my determination is paying off. as he is no longer a "75%" baby for weight, but closer to 90%. The doctor brings lots of toys with her, so James happily played while she assured me that his eating habits are normal, and to just keep trying to introduce new foods. James cannot live on cheese puffs alone...but based on how well he is growing maybe he can.

Here are James' 18 month stats:

Weight: 28 pounds, 8 ounces (75-90%)

Height: 34 3/4 inches (97%)

Head: 19 1/2 inches (90%)
