18 Month Pediatrician visit


Max and Jake both had their appointments at the same time today. Max weighs 24 pounds and is 34 inches which puts him in the 24th percentile for weight and 50th for height. He dropped in both categories which is normal. I guess we have a tiny one on our hands unlike his brother who is huge. Max got his shot without crying which made daddy very proud. He then got sticker for it which he loved since it was Thomas the Train which he LOVES. The doctor did find a heart murmur which we now need to see a cardiologist for. Steve mentioned that he had one too when he was little so we are hoping it is the same thing and it will resolve itself on its own. I'll feel much better once we get it checked out. The doctor was a bit concerned about his speech but said she will give it two more months and wants to see 5 to 10 words by then. If not we need to see someone about that as well. We are going to start by giving in less to his demands by pointing and see if he will try to speak.
