B has officially made it to the 75th percentile. He had his 18 month well check appointment today and weighed in at 27 lbs. 4 oz. and was measured at 33 inches long. (I wonder if he can now fight in the heavyweight category. I couldn't be more proud.) The boy who used to be squarely in the 50th percentile at every appointment has finally begun to display characteristics from his father's gene pool. However, B still has another 15 percentage points to hit before he reaches his brother's category.
True to form, B was fully aware of what a doctor's appointment entails and began SCREAMING as soon as the nurse entered the patient room with us. She made several comments along the lines of worrying that others might think she was pulling out his finger nails one by one and that she was just warming B up for the doctor. Apparently, most kids don't scream/carry-on/become drama-queens like this until they are at least 2 years old. Well, B is not one to dilly-dally when it comes to letting others know about his displeasure and this was no exception. Fortunately, the doctor is AWESOME and B didn't cry even once after he came into the room. He has a real knack at making the little ones feel comfortable...he even gave B a train book to take home with him...bet you didn't know that Kaiser now pays you to bring your kids to appointments:)
Next appointment in 6 months. Do you think he'll remember the injections?
