Eighteen Month Well-Baby Visit


Aidan had his eighteen month well-baby visit this afternoon.

He now weighs 24lb 10oz (which is less than he weighed at his fifteen month appointment). The doctor wasn't too concerned as he knows Aidan has been sick (and not eating). He's finally gotten his appetite back (and BOY, is he HUNGRY!) so we were instructed to make another appointment for a "weight check" in two months.

He is now measuring 33 inches long (up from 31.5 inches at his fifteen month visit) and his head circumference measured 48cm. He is in the 25th percentile in weight and in the 70th percentile for height and head circumference.

He had two shots this time (in his arms). He gave the nurses quite the surprise when he didn't even flinch when he got the shots! In fact, he was giggling and flirting the whole time - I don't think he even noticed the pinches!

The doctor said that Aidan is doing great on his developmental milestones, as well, so we were happy about that. All in all, Aidan was pronounced healthy (and cute!). His next well-baby appointment is in December, when he will be two years old!
