18 month check up...

Jackson will be 18 months on Thursday and I can hardly believe it! We went this morning for his check up. It went really well. Here were his stats:

Weight: 20 lbs 8 oz (<5%)
Height:  32 1/4 inches (50%)
Head circumference: 18 3/4 (25%)

So, I thought for sure the doctor would be concerned about his weight, but he wasnt at all actually. He has gained 3 pounds since his last check up 6 months ago. He just said to keep giving him Pediasure and sneak in calories by adding extra butter or heavy cream to some of his foods. He expects him to be a picky eater and to not eat at all sometimes. We were encouraged to not stress about it.

As far as his development goes, he is right on track with that as well. The doctor thought his few words (up, TJ, and bye bye) were exceptible especially since he follows commands very well.

So, I guess all of these fears I've been having in the back of my head are nothing to worry about. At this point I'm just feeling very blessed to have a happy and healthy child.

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of weeks...
