18 Month Doctor Appointment

Brennan had his 18 month well baby doctor appointment today. The doctor was very pleased with his language and motor skills. He was amused with Brennan's curiosity as he investigated the examination room. Everything looks great! The doctor joked about Brennan being a future football or basketball player, based on his above average size.

His eczema is returning after Brennan is outside in high temperatures. We're starting to apply his prescription cream periodically, which is helping. Luckily, Brennan doesn't seem bothered by his dry spots.

Brennan had his follow up appointment with the ENT last week. His ears look great! We won't need to return unless he begins to have chronic ear infections again. Since his ears look fine, we wish his ENT appointment was after his appointment today. We anticipate the 90 seconds we spent with the ENT will be expensive.

He received his second Hep A vaccination today. He wasn't thrilled about it, but after some snuggles and a crocodile tear, he was happy again. With the exception of flu shots and any possible changes in vaccination age recommendations, he shouldn't need another vaccine until he is 5 years old.

Current stats:
Length: 35 inches; 90-95th percentile (Nurse: "Holy Toledo! 35 inches!")
Weight: 27 lbs, 11 oz; 75th percentile
Head: 75th percentile
