Logan had his 18 month check up today. He's not 18 months until Thursday, but this was the closest day to get an appointment. :) He is well! He got 3 shots and did well. He didn't start crying until the 2nd shot, but then settled down really quickly. Here are his stats at 18 months:
Weight: 24 pounds 2oz; 27%. He gained 2 pounds 1 oz in 6 months; down from the 33%.
Height: 2' 9.75"; 89%. He grew 3.25 inches in 6 months; up from the 66%.
Head: 50.2cm; 97%. It grew 1.3cm in 6 months; remaining at the 97th%.
Here is how the boys compare at 18 months:
Weight: Shaun was 7.6 ounces heavier.
Height: Shaun was 1.15 inches taller
Head: Shaun's was .8cm bigger!
Even though Shaun was bigger in all 3 areas, they are pretty close to each other; must be brothers! :)
Logan is jabbering up a storm. He is always saying something. The actual words he is saying are growing and getting clearer, but still mainly parts of words that we can tell what they are. The latest is 'fish' and 'shoe', which sounds so cute when he says them because his lips go way out as he says it!
He is also interacting and trying to keep up with big brother a lot more. He is trying to run and chase Shaun and egg him on with various screeching, teasing, etc.
He also is showing a lot of emotion lately, mainly frustration. He has been throwing 'mini' tantrums lately by banging on the wall, throwing himself on the ground or just plain screaming. Doc said the best way to deal with them is to ignore. They will probably get worse before better, but then his only options are to go hoarse or give up!
Next checkup @2 years old!
