18 month checkup

greta had her 18 month check up (is she REALLY a year and a half old??) and it went well. some tears with the shot at the end, but that was about it. i told her we were going to see doctor bird (her pediatrician) and the whole way there she repeated his name. she even said it to him when he came in the room. she was very brave, and liked when dr. bird showed her the light he was going to use to look in her ears. just like last visit, she enjoyed dancing on the crinkly paper on the table.

so where does she "rank", you ask? head circumference is again in the 90-95th percentile. to put it plainly, she has a big noggin. she weighed in at 25 pounds, which sounded like a lot to me but it actually means she's "slimming down" a bit. she is now just a bit over the 50th percentile for weight, which means that she is pretty average. which means nothing, really. but we find it so interesting to see these growth charts and see how she's changed. and we like to laugh at the part of the chart from about 3-6 months where her weight was off the charts. as for her height, she is 33.5 inches tall, which is almost the 95th percentile for height. she must get the height from her mother. or her father. oh, who am i kidding. we have no idea how she is "tall" and imagine that it won't stay that way. but we're just glad she's healthy and well.
