Stats at 18 months

We went for Dominic's 18 month checkup and vaccination yesterday.

At 18 months and a week old, he is 83cm tall, 12kg heavy, with a head circumference of 48cm. Doctor commented that he is growing well and is above average. He could be taking in about 2 ounces more milk, but since he is eating yogurt and cheese it's ok.

Doctor also commented that he is a little overweight. This is seen from the weight-for-age chart on which he is in the 90th percentile. Seriously?! He looks thin! He is in the 75th percentile for the other stats.

Dominic enjoyed the clinic waiting area, but cried loudly when he went into the consultation room. He cried from start to finish, with the injection in the middle! There was no fever yesterday, but we'll monitor for the whole week. He didn't sleep very well yesterday and last night.

Poor boy could be teething as well, we suspect his molars are sprouting. He is drooling more and has taken to chewing on the boardbooks.
