18 Month Check-Up

Weight:  21 lbs 8 oz
Height:  29.72''
Head Circumference:  18.11''

Samuel had his 18 month check-up yesterday.  He received his flu shot but I refused the Hep. and MMR vaccines until he is 18-24 months ADJUSTED age.  I never make doctors happy when it comes to vaccines...

I finally remembered to ask for a copy of his growth charts.  They start at 4 months (which means they are based on his chronological age, not adjusted age.)

Weight:  His weight took a big dip about the time he started walking.  He is in the 3rd percentile.

Height:  Samuel has yet to hit the chart for height - but he's getting closer!

Head Circumference:  This is the one area that he caught up on rather quickly.  He was on the chart at 9 months old.  Now he is getting close to the 10th percentile.

Yeah...ok, that was a pretty uninteresting post.  But here are a few pictures of our day yesterday!  That helps, right??
