Ashlyn had her 18 month checkup on Friday. It went very well. She now weighs 21.3 pounds and is in the 10% for her weight. I did not catch her exact height, but she is now in the 60% for her height. So, she remains very skinny and is now getting a little taller for her age. He said she looks like a 2 year old despite how skinny she is. He said she is definitely precocious as a 2 year old.
The doctor said she looked great. He said her teeth looked great and that she was getting more molars. I asked him about how she never sits still. He said that is perfectly normal. He said if she was doing this in 1st grade, it would be a problem. He said that in his experience, the kids that never sit still are the smartest since they just want to explore and learn. I don't know if there is any truth to that or not:) If there is, Ashlyn will be a genius since she NEVER sits still!!!
He was pretty impressed with the fact that she crawled out of her crib and over the baby gate. He said he could tell there was never a dull moment with her. He said her intelligence is going to continue to keep us on our toes! I think it will too! He also said to expect a huge language explosion in the next month or two. I am excited for more words!
She did have to get one shot. They gave her a little dog and that distracted her. When they did the shot, she cried for 2 seconds and was fine. She is my brave girl! She was happy as a clam with her dog and she also got a sticker!
It was a great visit as usual. We won't be going back for 6 months. I hope our girl continues to grow happy and healthy!!!!
