Healthy As A Horse

I feel as though I have been on a Blogging Hiatus - and I suppose I have - even though it was something I hadn't actually pre-planned. I had so much going on this last week that I finally forced myself to just take Blogging off of the list altogether, so that it didn't end up being one more bullet point on my List that never got crossed off. One more thing that I never got around to. One more thing to stress over. Ugh.

That means I have much catching up to do, as we all know how much 18 month olds change every day - and Jack is certainly no exception!

This past Tuesday, we went to see Dr. Keith for Jack's 18 month check-up. We got a great report! Our not-so-little guy weighed in at 28 pounds (putting him in the 75th percentile) and is an impressive 33 and a half inches tall (75th - 90th percentile). He has a head circumference of 20 inches which means, in Dr. Keith's words, that he will just have to wear a big hat. Like father, like son in this case.

Everything checked out great and Jack was perfect during the exam. He just sat so still while Dr. Keith looked in his eyes, ears and mouth.


The only time he even whimpered was when he received his flu shot. But those tears only lasted a second. He recovered quickly and was right back to his normal happy-go-lucky self. Exploring everything around him, including his "piggy toes".

After all was said and done, Dr. Keith deemed Jack to be Healthy as a Horse - to which I would also add: Fit as a Fiddle, Right as Rain, Strong as an Ox, Stubborn as a Mule, Smart as a Whip, Happy as a Clam, Sweet as Sugar and Cute as a Button!
