It's that time again! Spencer was due for his 18 month well being check up with the pediatrician and that can only mean one thing....ugh...more shots! Spencer charmed the doctor and both of the nurses who saw him today as they measured, poked and examined him. His growth rate causes him to remain in the upper percentile for height and weight. His head circumference has gone from 48 to 48 1/2 which is still in the 75th percentile. His weight has gone from 25.2 pounds to 26.14 pounds which is in the 65th percentile. Spencer has grown 3/4 of an inch since his last visit and is now 32 3/4 inches tall which puts him in the 65th percentile. Spencer received two immunization "pokes" today and is now very close to the point where he won't be getting a shot or two EVERY time we see the doctor! Mommy held Spencer as the doctor stood on one side of him and the nurse stood on the other. Each of them had a needle at the ready and on the count of three..........poke poke, it was over. Then, Spencer just looked at them as if to ask if it was time for lunch yet. So, with two boys who had each been given a bill of clean health.......we left to go have lunch!
