18 Month Check Up and Lollipops!

Ryland had his 18 month check up today. And he was such a big boy. Whenever they called his name to go back he went without us saying anything. He walked straight into the room and then when it was time he walked right up on the scale to check his weight. He definitely put up less of a fight (and alot less screaming) when Dr Loventhal was checking him out. So maybe we are starting to get out of the phase where he absolutely screams and fights at the sight of Dr Loventhal.

He had a really good check up. He is hitting all of the 18 month milestones which is great. some more good news is that he still has both tubes in his ears .... YAY! Bad news is that he has the start of an ear infection in his right ear. ... BOO! So we are going to start him back on the ear drops. He has not shown any signs that his ears are bothering him. And there has not been any drainage. So hopefully we are catching the ear infection right at the beginning and it will be gone with a few doses of the ear drops.

Below are his 18 month stats ....

Height = 31 3/4 inches (32% percentile)
Weight = 24 1/2 lbs (33% percentile)
Head = 51 cm (still off the charts!)

While we were waiting on Dr Loventhal to come in the nurse gave Ryland a lollipop. This is the first time he has had one. And it did not take him long to figure out what it was and that is was really good. He was a sticky mess before we knew it!
