Catch Up on Check Up

Since we have been gone for three months, Tyler missed his 18 month check up as required from most pediatrics. The nurse that looked after Tyler said that it had been quite some time that she had such a good child in her office, especially at Tyler's age. While most toddlers his age are difficult to stay still to obtain measurements, this wasn't the case for our boy. He sat quietly and smiled at her while she checked him out. She took his weight, measured his height and circumference of his head. Tyler now weighs 27 pounds, which is in the 50% percentile for children his age. His height is 31.5 inches, which is actually only in the 10% percentile, but considering what his height was when he was born, he is right on track. And his head measured in at 48.2cm, which is also in the 50% percentile.


When the nurse was all finished doing her measurements, then Major Woolley came in to look over Tyler. Major Woolley is Tyler's regular doctor and she is just fantastic with him. She conducted a routine check and then asked us some questions regarding his developmental milestones. It was concluded that Tyler is in terrific health and his development is right on schedule. After saying goodbye to Major Woolley, it was then over to the immunization clinic, where Tyler received his first dose of the flu vaccine. He will be due for the second in February. Overall, Tyler had a great check up and now he is all caught up until his second birthday.

*A very Happy Birthday to my best friend, Erika!!!! Hope it's a terrific one, Erika!!!!
