15 Month Check Up

Fisher had his 15 month check up with Dr. Catherine last week. Normally, he doesn't mind going to the doctor. He lets Ms. Tracy or Ms. Iola (the nurses) carry him to the scale and measure him without making a fuss. Not this time. He was not having any of it! He cried as soon as he saw Ms. Tracy-he remembers the shots she gives him!!

I had to carry him to the scale and put him on it to weigh him, and I had to help him stay still so she could measure him. He didn't mind Dr. Catherine so much, as long as she was just talking to him. BUt when she touched him, he was all done. It was actually kind of funny. :)

Fisher had a great report, except for his weight. He hasn't gained any weight at all from his 12 month check up, so he dropped from the 25th %ile to the 5th. I'm not so worried, since he has become so active and still eats all of the time, but am still going to try to add more good fats to his diet. We'll go back in a month for a flu shot and a weight check.

Dr. Catherine was also very impressed that Fisher is talking so much already, even though he wasn't interested in showing off for her. :) We love getting good reports from the doctor!

His stats at 15 months:

weight: 20 lbs 6 oz (5th %ile)
height: 30 1/2 inches (50th %ile)
head: 18 1/4 inches (25th-50th %ile)
