Lucas had his 18 month well check yesterday with his pediatrician. There was a medical student observing the doctor and the first thing he said to her in the room was that Lucas was born in the car delivered by his daddy. I like that our pediatrician seems to know us and is interested in our lives. Here are Lucas' stats:
Weight: 22.3 lbs (5-10th percentile)
Height: 32 inches (50th percentile)
Head: 19.3 inches (90th percentile)
Lucas had a Hep A and flu vaccine. The nurse hit an artery or capillary on one of the injections and he has a bruise on that leg.
The pediatrician was very impressed with his observations while in the room. He said his language skills were of a 3 year old. Just a few days ago Lucas said "Mommy, Can you open this for me?" I am still amazed that he is able to use pronouns correctly at this age. Lucas is counting to twelve, recognizing the color blue and green, jumping, singing lots of songs, recognizing some letters and started to play as a peer with Logan. Lucas even peed and pooped in the potty with E yesterday. Lucas and Logan have been getting along so much better in the last few weeks. Finally, I am starting to see the benefit of having my children so close together.
In the afternoon Lucas slept for three hours, which is unlike him and when he woke up he had a temp of 101 F. I gave him a dose of Tylenol and the fever has not returned.
