We just returned from Will's "18 month" well-check appointment with the pediatrician. He's actually just a week shy of 19 months now, though, hence the quotations. December is one of the busiest months at the doctors offices with all the sick kiddos, so this was the soonest we could get in. And we're just grateful we haven't had to be on the books for a sick visit yet (knock on wood). Will actually had a ROTTEN cold (plus teething) over Thanksgiving and into the first week of December, which temporarily disappeared and then returned just in time for Christmas. But it was just a stubborn cough and runny nose - nothing that time, fluids and handwashing won't heal. But he did tug at his right ear a few times in the last month, so I was relieved that everything looked good for his check-up.
Will weighs 24#5oz (25th%) and is 32.5" long (50th%). His head measured 19.75" (75-90th%). He received one vaccination today for DTaP and had a very brief, delayed-reaction cry that was over in seconds. He's a tough guy. Doctor said he looks perfect and was, once again, very impressed with his excellent sleep habits. (Mommy's a stickler on keeping good routines.)
The pediatrician was genuinely excited to hear of my pregnancy and it's funny to think we'll be back for a visit for Sophia before Will's next visit at 2 years! She'll be here before we know it. Dr. Carmen always remembers us and said again today that Will "looks like a little blonde mini-me of his daddy!"
After the appointment, we stopped by Craig's office to say hello and have a snack. Will happily marched around the office stopping at everyone's door while munching his blueberries. All the men in the office have little models of their "dream cars" set up on the bookshelves, so Will got to play with a Viper, a Porsche, a Mercedes, a Corvette, etc. Now we're home and he's down for a late nap while mommy catches up on some blogging in the quiet time.
