18 Month Check-Up

Today Frank had his 18 Month Well Baby Check-Up. He did such a good job showing off all his skills {talking, signing, identifying body parts}... often times, especially at the doctors office, he will make a liar out of me... but today he did a great Job! He weighed in at a big 25lbs 3oz {50th percentile} and grew an inch standing at 34 inches tall {90th percentile}. His head also grew measuring in at 19 1/2 inches {95th percentile}. He is growing perfectly consistent and we definitely think he is perfect! He spoke with the doctor today... even demonstrating "dirty" for her quickly followed by him filling his diaper... she told me potty training should start ASAP with him... which is making me really nervous... but I guess it is when -HE- is ready not mommy... 
He only received two vaccines today his first Hep A. vaccine and is flu shot {how lucky were we that the flu shots arrived on Friday... so he will not have to go back this fall for his shot!} However, as soon as he received the shots he starting crying and saying/signing "ALL DONE!!" I know he was very Happy to be "all done" with his shots... next check-up will be at 2 years!!

Getting weighed in

He was so distracted by this Christmas ornament they have hanging over the scale... he kept pointing to it and shouting "Ball!"

Showing off his 18 month physique... all 25 pounds of him
