18 Months Old

This is a big month for us, Ethan is officially on the downhill slope to 2! He celebrated his half birthday on the 10th. This past Monday we had his 18 month well baby check up. It followed the trend of the past two appointments, as in, was fine until someone other than mom or dad tried to touch him. Then we went into baby meltdown mode. The doc says he looks great (always good to hear). Couldn't get an accurate weight (due to meltdown mentioned above) but they guesstimated 22 lbs 15 oz, height 33in (almost 3 feet tall!). He got three shots, each one as terrible as the one before. And then a sticker to make it all better.

Yesterday I noticed that one of the injection sites was slightly more pink than the day before and warm to the touch, today even more so. It wasn't tender at all but as a mom I am supposed to freak out about any abnormality so I called the dr's office. As soon as I mentioned warm to the touch they told me I had to bring him in. So, $25 later (copay) we find out what we pretty much already knew, it's nothing to be concerned about. The good thing about this visit, we found out he actually weighs 24 lbs 9 oz, a pretty big difference for an 18 month old.
