Jacob's 18 month check up

Our Jacob is just about 18 months now. I took him in a few weeks early so he could get his flu shot. So he is now in the 15th percentile in his weight (it has gone up from 4th percentile last time) YEA - so the doctor is not concerned any more. He is in the 40th percentile in his height, which is about the same as he has always been, and the 30th percentile in his head.

Jacob did not like the nurse measuring his head, he screamed. She took him to be weighed, he screamed. Then we sat in the room and waited for the doctor to come in. He explored the room, opening this and that, laughing and playing. Then the doctor came in. Jacob climbed right up onto my lap and wanted nothing to do with the doctor. At first we just talked about his habits and went over some questions. I talked about how stubborn Jacob is, and determined to do what ever his brother does. Then the doctor had to check Jacob out...that was hard. Jacob screamed, cried, kicked - he did not want this guy touching him. By the end of the visit I think the doctor had a bruise on his leg from Jacob kicking him. The doctor did agree that he is very strong and stubborn. We also found out that he has 4 teeth coming in right now. That is crazy...the kid only has 7 teeth - he is getting 4 more all at once. That explains a lot.

Here are a few pictures of Jacobs new favorite place to sit. The coffee table....

He says "cheese" and gives us his sideways grin

This was a great smile - still saying "cheese" Love it!!

This was today, he kept putting his arm through the neck hole...what a weird kid. But oh so cute.

A little brother love. The boys played outside today for almost 1 hour. I loved this shot of them looking through the fence. They chased each other and did the slide and threw the ball around. Just wonderful weather today for playing outside.

Zane was playing with Jacob so cute today, he put on the goggles and chased Jacob. Who immediately runs to me and tries to hide under my legs.
