18 month check up

Weston will actually be 19 months tomorrow but his 18 month appointment was today. This visit was quite different than the rest of his appointments. He hung on to me to every time the nurse or doctor came into the room. I think he is traumatized by the last trip to the emergency room. He refused to lie down on the examining table so we were forced to pin him down to measure him. He kept saying, "All done! Bye Bye!" Then came the shots! He usually just whimpers a little but today it was a loud scream. I felt so sorry for him. He quickly cheered up when he remembered there were lollipops at the counter. He calls them "pops". They even had Elmo stickers beside them so that made him really excited. On our way out he offered to share his "pop" with a stranger. I guess he didn't hold any hard feelings about the shot. Weston weighs 26lbs. 11 oz.(60%) and he is 33 7/8 inches tall (85%). His height usually goes off the charts but not this time!
