15-month check-up

Last week Neylan had his second doctor appt since coming home. His 15-month check-up (just prior to his 16 month birthday). We talked about going to the doctor all morning and Grayson was excited. He has been playing doctor a lot at daycare and loves giving people shots. So, he asked if he could have a shot today. I told him that the shots today were only for Neylan. So, off I go with both boys by myself.

First, Neylan was weighed. A whopping 26 lbs 14 oz. Then Grayson wanted his turn, so he hopped on the standing scale. He was 29 lbs. I was a bit surprised, because I thought they were a bit closer in size.

Then the doctor came in. She did her exam and then washed her hands. Neylan quickly walked over to her and did his sign for washing hands (rubbing his hands together). She was so impressed that she picked him up to help him wash his hands.

Next it was time for shots. The doctor went over everything with me and Grayson looked at her and asked if he could have a shot. She said, "Did he just ask if he could have a shot too?" I said he probably did because he had been asking for it all morning. She is so nice that she granted his request. We all got our flu shots! So, Grayson picked the order. Mommy first, Neylan second (with 4 shots total) and Grayson last. He was so brave and barely cried. And as soon as these suckers were brought in, all tears were gone.

We had a great visit. Both boys did fabulous and impressed the socks off the doctor and nurses.

So, here's the stats:

Height: 32"- 75th %ile

Weight: 26lbs 14 oz - 70th %ile

Head circumference: 18.7" - 55th %ile

Basically all of that means- He's HUGE!!!!
