18 Month Check Up

Ramsey had his 18 month well check yesterday morning. All went very well. He is 22lbs even and still holding steady around the 10th percentile for his weight. The doc said he is right on track for his growth curve. He is once again in the 75th percentile for his height so we have one long and lean kid on our hands. She said he checked out great and developmentally is doing very well. He kept trying to get the doc to read books to him. He sees any new person as a perfect target (sucker) to read books to him nonstop. He had to get 2 shots, one in each thigh. He screamed bloody murder. The kind that breaks a mom's heart. He walked out crying and waving "bye bye" to all the nurses. Even in pain he still loves the ladies. I am so thankful for a happy, healthy, full of life little boy! Cope comes home today after having been gone on a work trip since Monday, thank you GOD! The 18 month mark has found Ramsey kicking up the tantrums a notch (or 10). When it is just Ramsey and I he totally know how to push my buttons.

Poor Ramsey. I hate shots! So glad he checked out well and is a healthy growing boy.

There is nothing wrong with long and lean. You know, I'm not so sure I even agree with those growth charts. What if the majority of the population is overweight? Comparatively, he would look skinny! That's my take on it anyway. He's such a doll and so expressive. What a sweetie! :)

Oh man, it sounds like Cope is already very busy and GONE a lot for his new job? :( Not that you can't handle it after what you have endured but bummer. Sounds like Ramsey is really doing great though. There is nothing wrong with being long and lean! Finley's growth chart too is long and lean and I get people commenting on him being small too because their kids are near the 100 percentile. Each is an individual!! Ramsey is just too cute and his fun personality just oozes through your pictures!!

Glad for a healthy boy! You had asked earlier...Ian weighed 21.8 at his 18 month, so they are pretty close.
