Yesterday I was off work, Rhonda was closed and James had his 18 month check up with his pediatrician, Dr. Chander. The appointment was early, 8:30, but we were up and out the door in plenty of time. We had to wait for awhile, which sometimes happen at Dr. Chander's, but James was a good sport and ran around the exam room in his diaper. The nurse yesterday was new, so James whined at her a bit, but it wasn't too bad. My little guy now weights 25.2 lbs and is 33.5 inches tall. That puts him into the 90th percentile for height and the 50th for weight (still adjusted for being 5 weeks early). He's a skinny little guy, but that is no surprise, given how much he runs around. James sat patiently while Dr. Chander listened to his heart (his murmur still sounds the same as it did 3 months ago) and checked his eyes, ears, and mouth. James also received his first of 2 Hepatitis A shots. Everything was fine at his appointment, he is meeting all his milestones and we got a referral for a few pediatric dentists.
After his appointment, we headed to the grocery store to pick up a few things. We got home in time for James to play a little, eat lunch, and go down for his nap. After nap time, I took James and the dog our for a walk. James did well, toddling down the street. He made a break for it a few times, but we caught up and kept him for escaping. Our street is pretty busy, so I was a little unnerved by the walk, but we survived. It wasn't a productive walk for the dog, but at least we got some fresh air.
Around 3, a switch flipped in James' head and he was pretty grumpy for the remainder of the day. I'm pretty sure his shot started to hurt, so I gave him a little pain medicine to help. He was happy when Adam got home, but them promptly went back to being a grump. He woke up this morning in a great mood though, so I think the mood has passed.
