18 Month Check-up

Wednesday was Benjamin's 18 month check-up and vaccination. The pediatrician is impressed with his continued growth because "normal" children do not jump percentiles during their first year (probably because they are picky eaters--not a member of that club). Ben has jumped to the 75th percentile in weight and height for his age. Sorry, no pictures. Ben screamed the whole time we were there and I forgot my camera :(

Weight: 27 lbs 15 1/2 oz. (almost 2.5 lbs in 3 months)

Height: 33 1/2 inches ( 2 3/4 inches in 2 months)

I had noticed some of my his pants getting a little shorter and tighter :) The nurse measured him twice because she didn't believe he had grown that much. Of course when you are holding your breath, lips turning blue, and snotting (is that a word?) all over the room, you may arch your back a little more when laid upon an exam table.

Have a wonderful weekend...maybe some snow pictures next week???
