Eighteen Months

I took Valerie for her eighteen month checkup this morning.  She just loved riding in the truck, facing forward.

She grew massively in the last three months.  Her current height extrapolates to winding up near six feet tall full grown.  She’s no longer 10th percentil for weight, though she remains “skinny.” She was 19 lbs 7 oz three months ago.  Today she was close to three pounds heavier.

Sadly, we had an extended wait in the exam room, as there were two walk-in emergencies.  As I told the doctor, sometimes that’s going to be us, so I don’t mind.  Valerie was pretty good, and I managed to keep her entertained.  When he finally came in, we were drumming on the rolling stool, like a single giant bongo.

She hates laying down, so most of it was with her being held by me.  Her eyes track exceptionally, no surprise.

We both wore purple tie dye shirts, so people thought it was cute that we matched.

No shots.  She goes back February 29th.  Sadie’s three year will be October 15, and we moved my October 5 checkup to be together with Sadie.  It’s convenient when they can do that if they’re close anyway.
