Jack had his 15 month check-up at the pediatrician Tuesday morning. He was in a very good mood in the waiting room, and even on our way back to his exam room, but once we had to lie him down to take his clothes off, he got very upset. He doesn't like to lie down to get his diaper or clothes changed anyway, so this part was normal, but then before we could get him on the scale to weigh him, he went to the bathroom everywhere! :-( Once he was done, the nurses finally got to weigh him, and he was a whopping 28 lbs! Big boy!! They also were able to measure his length and head circumference, even with the fussiness and wiggling.
We had to wait a few minutes on the doctor, but once he was in, Jack calmed down and let him examine him. Everything looked great, and his ears even looked perfect! He was also glad to hear he was only drinking from a sippy cup now (no bottle since 2 months ago), and was proud he was talking/babbling a lot now, plus walking everywhere. Jack needed to get 4 shots at this visit, including the flu shot, so that wasn't fun, but we knew it was good for him!
Overall, the doctor's appointment was very hectic and stressful (for Jack, Mama Becky, and Mama), but he is very healthy and we are so blessed for that!! Here are all of his weights and measurements:
28 lbs 2 oz,, 31.5 inches long, and a 19.5 inch head circumference. He is still in the 75th percentile. (At birth he weighed 7 lbs 12 oz, was 19 3/4 inches long, and had a 14 inch head circumference.)
Here are a couple of pictures from his visit. The first one is very sweet, but the second one is more like how the appointment went, and how he felt. :-)
