Elias had his 15 month doctor visit today. Elias is doing well in all areas according to his pediatrician. Yay! He had a big growth spurt both in weight and height so the worry is over about his growth rate decreasing. He is still quite a picky eater, but is doing much better.
My poor little boy had to get three shots. He cried hard as always, but the medical assistant said he did well….so I’d hate to see what the bad cases are like….or maybe she just always says that.
But he recovered quickly by spending some time with Grandpa Bartle. Then we met Grandma Bartle on her lunch break. After a nap, Daddy was home early because he worked the early shift, and to top it off, he got to play with Uncle Scott and Auntie Kristy in the evening. It was a full day of fun.
I just hate the helpless feeling of not being able to comfort my son when he is so upset…I mean…I eventually did…but it took so long compared to normal. I’m glad it’s over for three more months.
The Stats:
Weight: 23 pounds, 9 ounces (34%)
Height: 31.65 inches (64%)
I remember that feeling of helplessness after a doctor visit. The memory of it stays with you forever. I know that Elias has the best parents though!
