I took Avery to his 18 month dr's appointment today. Overall it went fairly well...here are the highlights.
-he screamed bloody murder when we were trying to see how tall he was. they have him lie down on the table to measure...and he is approx. 31.75 inches.
-he screamed again when the dr. came in and started to exam him.he's never done that before...but dr. said it was normal.
-he now weighs 22.9-22.10 lbs. had to be weighed twice. dr. wasnt to happy that he hasn't gained weight so we go back in 3 months for a weight check. if he doesn't gain, then he will go for testing then. hopefully its just the case of him being active and having daddy's metabolism!
-it took 2 nurses and myself to hold him down for his 2 shots. yeah that was fun! at least now he is done with shots until he goes to school.
-the dr said he is healthy, sounds like he eats, and sleeps well(for the most part he does) doesn't look like he is failing to thrive.
Now I'm not supposed to worry that there is nothing wrong with him for the next 3 months...yeah that is easier said than done!

Blake screamed when he was measured too... wonder what that's all about
I say chalk up the weight to activity and don't stress!
I don't think Avery's weight is bad... I think that sounds about right for his age
