Nathan's 18 month checkup

Today was Nathan's 18 month checkup.  He weighs 21 pounds, 10 ounces, and is 31 inches tall.  His head circumference is 49 cm.  This places him in the 10-25th percentile for height, the 5th percentile for weight, and the 75-90th percentile for head circumference.

The doctor is a little concerned with Nathan's weight because he has lost weight since his 15 month checkup.  He's actually a little under what he was at his 1 year appointment.  But she did acknowledge that he has a very high level of activity, which she noticed during the appointment.  He never stops moving, always climbing, running, dancing, moving anyway he can!  So for now we are going to just encourage him to eat more protein.  He has grown an inch taller so he is definitely growing.

Nathan is a very healthy little guy, and reaching all his milestones for this age.  He knows at least 20 words, and few of which I forgot in my last post.  He knows "book" and "bug" and just today he has learned "yes" and "please."  I'm so glad that he has learned yes and I'm hoping to give him many opportunities to say it instead of his almost constant "no."

Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to get some pictures of the kids in bluebonnets, so keep your fingers crossed they turn out!  And a little update on Emma: she recently counted to 100 all by herself!
