I took Rory to the doctor's today for her 18 month check up. She was a little nervous at first, having not been there in 6 months. Her doctor is very good with kids. She asked Rory to find her belly button when she checked her tummy, and checked for "cookies" in her ears. She even let Rory hold some of the instruments to check them out before she used them.
The doctor says that she is developing well physically and that she is very advanced verbally. Rory was quite chatty today. She kept saying "door" because she was very concerned with the fact that the door to the exam room was closed.
At this appointment she was weighed and her height was measured and her stats are as follows:
Weight: 20 lbs (Finally! This is a big milestone.)
Height: 30 1/2 inches
I will adjust these stats after her vaccinations on Thursday, as they seem to vary slightly between appointments. No doubt because it is impossible to keep Rory still for even a second.
This puts her in the 30th percentile for height which is a bit of a jump from her 12 month check up where she was only in the 20th percentile. However at 20 lbs she is officially off the charts in the weight category. She is in the negative percentile. What this means is that according to the chart over 100% of 18 month old babies weigh more than she does. The doctor is not concerned in the slightest as she eats very well, drinks nice fatty milk, sleeps through the night, and is super active. She says its most likely genetics. If she saw any of Matt's or my siblings she would know that it is for sure genetics!
Overall it was a successful outing and we are home - once again, watching princess movies-once again.
