Findings: 18 month check up proves Hunter is growing normally, despite his parents, ha ha!
Hello there, Well our Hunter who has been in the 50th percentile at all check ups, is growing in some areas and not so much in the other. He is in the 40th for height 31 1/2 inches, and the 50th for head circumference, and the 60th for weight 26 1/2 pounds, which means he is perfectly normal, and hopefully he will have a little growth spurt soon. It would help the tripping over his pants which adds more bruises. We discussed Hunter's vocabulary which I thought was behind, but it turns out he is actually ahead at saying about 40 words, apparently at this stage the average is 15. Which doesn't really mean anything, as I guess boys tend to regress sometimes, we'll see. We also discussed bee stings, which is a worry as Hunter tends to be following in his father's footsteps when it comes to his health, allergies, ear infections, etc. I found out however, that in order to have an allergic reaction to a bee sting he must have been stung once to have the venum in him. So, this gives me a little peace of mind as hopefully he won't get stung at all, but it gives us a little more time until he can be allergy tested. We are going to be meeting with a Pediatric ENT to discuss tubes, no decisions have been made yet, we'll keep you posted. Other than that, Hunter had kind of a rough day after his vaccinations not wanting to eat, being fussy, and crying easily. Hopefully, he will feel better tomorrow! We did have an exciting thing happen yesterday.....Hunter can identify the color blue! He handed me a blue block and said "bu bok" and I thought...no, a coincidence. So, I asked him for another, and another, and sure enough he does know the color blue. He pointed out a blue crayon to Grandma, and today pointed out a blue chair. Every day is something new and exciting! Hope things are good for all of you as well, we reflect on Easter approaching and feel blessed to have so many wonderful family and friends! Thank you!!!
