Rickybear had his 18 month well visit on Monday. He passed with flying colors. His Maw Maw and Paw Paw met me at the doctor’s office with him, along with one of his cousins. He played peekaboo with everybody in there, lol. He was already a little fussy and suffering from a diaper rash, so when we got back to the room for the actual visit- he was a MESS!
We did the screening questions that would show some markers for autism, but he passed that with no problems. He is on par or ahead of schedule with his milestones. His ears and lungs looked great. His teeth and gums looked good. Aside from his raw tushie, he was perfect.
As for the stats:
Weight: 22 lb 1 oz
Height: 30.5 inches
Head Circ: 17.5 inches
I was given the option for Rickybear to receive 4 shots that day, but since he doesn’t go to daycare, I didn’t find it necessary to have them all given at once. We ended up agreeing to the flu shot and then also one more (which actually is 3 vaccines in 1). He screamed bloody murder and ripped those bandaids off his thighs as soon as the nurse put them on there. That boy was ANGRY.
His grandparents were planning to take him and his cousin to IHOP right afterwards for lunch and I was so nervous that he would be trouble, but they said he was great once he got in there and entertained all of the waitresses. When they went home, he took a 4 hour nap, the last two hours of which were spent laying on his Paw Paw. Poor thing was recuperating from the shots. He didn’t sleep too well that night for me, but I brought him to our bed around midnight and didn’t have a problem after that.
We are so fortunate that our little man is so happy and healthy and full of life!!
