Carter was having a great time yesterday playing with the bead toy in the waiting area at the doctor's office...until the nurse called his name. He literally jumped, looked at me with panic all over his face and started bawling. He cried until the nurse left the room. I finally got him calmed down, only for him to start up again the moment the doctor walked in. I think the last time we were in and got those horrid antibiotic shots scarred him. His check-up was good - ears were in the clear (she did say that we will send him to the ENT to talk tubes if he gets one more ear infection) and he met all of the developmental milestones (speech, gross motor skills and fine motor skills). My Carter Bear is still on the smaller side as you can see from his percentages below, but it is in trend with what he's always been at, so no worries there.
Height: 30 3/4 in. (10%)
Weight: 24 lb. 12 oz. (30%)
Head circumference: 46 cm (10%)
He had to get 2 shots - flu booster and Hep A. When we rounded the corner to leave, he started going nuts and saying "more, more, more" and pointing...I finally realized that he was pointing to the suckers. There's nothing like a grape sucker to fix any hurt feelings.
Next appointment is at 2 years. Things to look out for and work on before then are using a spoon and fork (or try to anyway), discipline (can start time-outs), and keeping an eye on his speech development to make sure his ear infections haven't had any effects on it.
