18-month checkup

Jack's almost 19 months now, but we just had his 18-month checkup. For the record, he's 31.5 pounds and about 33.5 inches tall. He generally HATES his checkups and it is quite an ordeal to get through them. He screams and kicks while the nurse attempts to get his height and weight measurements...and then continues to scream throughout the doctor's visit. A few weeks ago I bought him a toy doctor kit with the hope that playing with it would help him get more comfortable with someone looking in his ears and listening to his heart. It seemed to have some effect (he was okay with her using the stethoscope), but as soon as she wanted to look in his ears, the screaming started.

Oh well. Our next appointment is at 2 years --- let's hope he gets over this!
