15 month update

Off to the Dr we went yesterday for Alex's 15 month Dr appt. He is beginning to know now that he really does not like going there and gets all upset when he sits on the scale - its the least invasive thing they do but he freaks out! Still 22 lbs 7 oz - on two scales - so no weight gain since his Jan appt - but up a bit since his loss when he was sick so thats good. He is 31" tall - up an inch since last time as well and 47 cm head circumference - no change there either which is good - he has my wide head. Daddy has the same size around as me but his is deep rather than wide - pretty funny since he has spent the last 10 years making fun of my big head!

Alex did really well when the Dr came in and was perfect while he was listening to his lungs and heart and his lungs are clear - considering the hacking cough he has (an now I have too!) He even did really well with looking in his ears - something that has made him throw up in the past! No crying - the crying began for the shots - one in each leg - dTap and a pneumococcal one, the Hib has to wait because there is a shortage and he has already had 3 - one more and he is done - maybe at 18 months - and then no more shots until he is 4! WOO HOO.

Unfortunately the appt was during nap time so he was none too happy when we got home so he laid down for a bit - well I woke him up for dinner and then right back to sleep - until about 7 (his normal bedtime) and he was crazy naked baby until about 9! He was so funny bouncing of off his futon and me.

Dinner has not been the great experience it has been in the past - he is just not eating much - could be the cough - could be tired - who knows but I need to let it go and not push.
