I love well kiddo visits. It's nice to see the doctor when nothing's wrong. The only down side to well kiddo visits are the shots, but those are unavoidable.
2.0's well kiddo visit went well. He's 34 inches tall, just shy of that elusive 3 foot mark. That put him in the 90th percentile for height. That wasn't a surprise. His father is 6'4" for goodness sakes and I'm 5'10". The kid's going to be a beanpole. His weight seems to be catching up to his height finally. He's just shy of 28 pounds, weighing in at 27 pounds and 12 ounces and hitting the 75th percentile for weight. After watching him hover around the 45th percentile in weight, it's nice to see him putting on a little bit and still not be considered fat.
He was also screened for autism, which he doesn't have. He's meeting all of his milestones at just the right time, even exceeding some of them. He's talking and walking and running and climbing. His lungs sounded great and his ears and eyes were in good shape. That just left the shots...
2.0 got a flu shot today, along with a Dtap and his Hep A. I don't want him to get the flu, especially after being diagnosed with asthma in May.
Speaking of his asthma...we haven't had to treat it since May. Now the nurse told us to keep an eye out for problems since fall is when kids have problems with asthma. It was nice to have the heads up since we haven't had a problem in so long.
Next well kiddo check is in February, right after 2.0 turns 2. I can't believe that's getting closer.
