+ Sooooooo big! +
That's what you are, all right. You had your 18-month appointment today (at 19 months, of course). She checked your throat and ears and said they looked just fine, so you'll finish up your meds on that and be done. You did get FOUR shots today. Boo hiss. You've been backed up some because you have this horribly nasty habit of getting sick within one week of nearly every single WBC appointment you have ever had - even including this one! Usually though you're still sick by the WBC, so they skip the shots. This time you were doing well enough to go ahead and get them. That's it for now until your 2-year-old shots, with the only exception of your flu shot which you'll need to get soon. I have to remember to call on that. They're doing open clinics for flu shots on Saturdays at your Doctor's office this year. Smart.

Anyway - here's the important stuff: Your stats! You were 95th % for height (don't remember exact measurements; I'll check on that later), and 85th % for weight at 26 lbs., 12.25 oz. Holy cow! EIGHTY-FIFTH PERCENTILE?! How is that possible? You were FIFTH PERCENTILE when you were born. Fifth! I asked the Dr. if I should be alarmed, as you were, what, 60th % at your last one, and I was concerned then too. She said no, you're just fine and your weight will still fluctuate a lot at this age. She said you're very healthy and good to go.

Got some free samples of Aquaphor for your chronic dry skin on your thighs, calves and shoulders. I hope that helps.

So that's it. Pretty good appointment. I gave you some preemptive Tylenol and trucked you back off to school. I hope you don't pop a fever with all those shots today. :( I called to make sure Daddy was on alert just in case. Hopefully you'll be just fine.
