We went in for Eve’s 18 month check up
today (quick, before she turns 19 months!). All is well, of
course. When the doctor came in Eve promptly brought her a book
and crawled up in her lap. So the appointment started with the
pedi reading stories to Eve. The doctor did a lot of pointing
and “what’s this” and Eve knew all the answers. When they were
done reading the doctor smiled and said, “well, she passes the
verbal test just fine!” Eve showed off her jumping and kicking
skills, and her coloring skills (including on her hand and bare
belly). The doc said she’s doing great. She weighed in at 24lbs
and 31″ – about 50th percentile for weight, 75th percentile for
height, and 90th percentile for head circumference! Eve got
more immunizations and all three of us ended up with a flu
shot. Lex was very put out about that, mostly because it was
supposed to be Eve’s appointment and I had told him that the
doctor wouldn’t do anything to him. My bad.
