18 Month Appointment

Peter had his 18 month appointment this week. He is following the growth curve. He weighed in at 23 lbs, 14 oz. Still a lightweight for his age. Height was around 33 inches, tall boy!

He was really good for the doctor. We go to a clinic of about 10 doctors, but I specifically asked for the blonde lady doctor because he gets along best with her. She has a really high pitched voice and sounds like a squeeky mouse when she talks, Peter loves it! Plus she has taken the best care of us and is always on top of things more than the others.

Peter had to get one shot and they kinda snuck it in at the end. Once he realized it had happened it was already over. I have recently learned that a great distraction is STICKERS! I gave him a sticker for his shirt, a sticker for his nose, and a sticker for his hand. He then put a sticker on MY nose and was laughing before we even left the room.

The secret to calming Peter down: Put a sticker on his forehead!
