18-month check-up

He was a bit of a stinker when we needed to weigh him, but really—can you expect a toddler to stand still on a scale? They wrote down 30# but I saw everything up to 33# so I’m saying 31. 🙂 I should have asked to weigh him on the baby scale or weigh him with Tom—but part of me thinks THEY should have suggested it, since THEY are the professionals. Oh well. The doc says “He’s still a big boy!” 😀

His current stats:
Height: 35″ (97th percentile) — was 34″;
Weight: 31# (94th percentile) 32.5# (96th percentile) — was 28# 12oz

And oh, the stuff we do to keep busy at the doc’s office in the waiting room…and the stuff we laugh at Owen doing! (Sorry about the volume—I apparently had my hand over the speaker while I was recording some of it. And I may redo the compilation when I get more time—I know the titles are really hard to read, but I did it on the phone. The first video is of Owen clapping at Tom while he throws a ball around, then it’s Owen watching himself in the shiny part of the chair, then it’s a chair ride around the room, then a video of Owen just being silly, and then lastly some lip music.)

We told her we were a bit concerned about his speech (or lack thereof) and she asked us some questions and from everything we told her (him knowing some letters, numbers, etc.) she said she wasn’t REALLY worried (yet) but that she agreed it wouldn’t hurt to get him evaluated. She said he seemed very intelligent (from what she observed) and that we shouldn’t be overly concerned yet. So that’s good—although we’ll still get him evaluated.
