15 month stats

My child could not be a worse patient.

The crying and kicking and screaming begins as soon as the doctor walks into the examination room...and doesn't stop until we are halfway home from the office. This happens whether he gets shots or not. Unbelievable.

Today, when our sweet Dr. Butler pulled out her stethoscope and said, "I'm just going to listen to your tummy for a sec, okay??" Henry leaned into her face and screamed "NOOOOO!!!" at the top of his lungs. How wonderful.

Nonetheless, here are the stats:
Weight: 30.4
Height: 33.5
Head Circumference: 20

I have no idea where this puts him percentage-wise. All I know is that he's huge, heavy, and hard to carry with my disappearing waistline.

Have a great weekend!!

Haha, just pictured him leaning in and screaming no. That is fantastic and I will share this with John when he gets home :o)

Good thing you don't come to the Dr. in Corpus. My 2 year old who weighes less than your 15 month old was told she's slightly overweight. Mind you she's in the 52%tile....also not the only one with screaming kid. Finger prick at two year appt. Squeeze blood drop for drop to fill tubes. Screamed bloody murder the entire time, car ride home and until the band-aid was removed from her finger. The she cried "My finger" for an hour after that.

I am actually a little bit enraged by your pediatrician saying that about Reese. I just have to tell myself that the doc was joking with you. I mean, did he even look at your kid?? She's perfect in every possible way.
