Checkup

So, I'm a bad mom. Josh was supposed to have his last checkup on December 26. The doctors office sent me a note about a week before saying to call and re-schedule. Well..... things were busy, etc, etc... Finally a couple weeks ago I re-scheduled for today. A few months behind schedule. Oh well, no excuses. At least he's been healthy! If he'd been sick I definitely would have re-scheduled sooner.

I told Josh he was going to see the doctor and he said "Doc!" So cute! He's saying sooooo much more. I need to be very careful about what I say around him.

Here are the stats:
32" tall
26 lbs, 3oz

I thought he seemed kinda big and tall for his age, but for 17 months old, according to the CDC growth chart, he's right in the 50th percentile, so just about average.

Where he is WAY above average is vocabulary. The doc asked if he was talking much, I said yes. He said how many words? I said lots! So he clarified "5 or 6?" and I said "no, more like 30 or 40" and he said "Wow!" Keep in mind that this doc does not show much excitement for anything. He seemed quite impressed.

One thing that we have to work on is vitamins. We'll be buying some this weekend.

He got a new book too! It's about fish--he LOVES fish! We need a bigger house so we can get a fish tank for him. He loved Adam and Jill's a couple weekends ago.

Josh had three shots too, one in his right shoulder, two in his left. The first one wasn't too bad but he cried for his second and third ones. Mama didn't cry! I just snuggled my lil darling until he was over the shots.
