15 Month Check Up

I took KK in for his 15 month check up. I was told no shots at this appointment. YAY!!! I walked in and the nurse did her usual milestone questions and I answered immediately that I really thought Kiernan was rocking his milestones now. I felt like all my little issues in his pre one year old months had subsided and he seemed to be doing just dandy. Then she got out the million dollar packets for his shots. WHAT???? I thought he doesn't need shots today. The nurse calmly told me I was incorrect and that KK would be getting 4 shots. UGH!!!! The doctor came in and checked him out and just thought I had the perfect little baby boy. She was so sweet and made my heart melt. Sometimes it is nice to hear things like that. Here are his stats from yesterday....

Head: 47  (43%)
Weight: 22.3 (18%)
Height: 31.5 (59%)

I was really worried about his weight and I brought it to the doctor's attention but she assured me that his history shows he is just a lean little guy and that no drastic changes have been made. She said as long as he is eating and I keep feeding him the good foods then he should be just fine. She thought he might be pretty active and burning those calories off. So I guess I do need to monitor it but maybe soon he will hit a little growth spurt. I told my mom about his weight and she thought he looks like a healthy normal toddler so no worries.

KK took his first two shots like a champ. The second two were a little rough but when he caught his breath all he wanted to talk about was his turtle. Next time I definitely need to bring it. He sure does love his turtle.
