18 month checkup

We went to see the doctor for his 18 month check up today. There was good news and bad news. The good news is he's 30 inches. The bad news is he's 18.5 pounds. That's less than what he weighed 6 months ago. I asked the doctor if I should put him on a multivitamin but she said that it wasn't necessary. I have to take him in to get bloodwork, a follow up ultrasound to check his kidneys and a follow up hearing test. I'm not looking forward to it. Well, I can be thankful that he won't need another VCUG.


Otherwise, he's progressing in his language and development. He says with strong conviction "Get Down!" He'll even point forward and then down while he says it. He must hear it a lot at daycare because he's a little monkey. He no longer says "mama". Now, it's Mommmmyyyyyy. I'm kinda sad that I'm not mama anymore. He likes to dance whenever he hears music. It's funny how I'll always catch him listening to the Gospel channel. He'll put the cell phone up to ear and say "Hello" but not much after that. He likes to turn the light switches on and off so we've made that his job whenever we come home at night. It's just amazing how much he's grown over the last couple of months. I can't wait til he can play Chibiko basketball and AYSO soccer and sing his ABCs. So much to look forward to.
