18 Month Check-Up

Enjoying the beautiful Fall weather!

Vaughan had his 18 month check-up today (since his doctor is on vacation next week). He was such a big boy and didn't even cry for his finger prick or shot and was awarded with an Elmo sticker which he was so very proud of.

Here are his stats:

Height: 34", 90th percentile
Weight: 36 lbs., off the chart
Head: 52 cm, off the chart

His head is so "off the charts" that she has scheduled a CT scan for tomorrow morning as a precaution to make sure that everything is fine. The doctor does not seem worried, especially since his motor skills are so sharp, it is more for due-diligence since his head was a bit larger than it was forecasted to be. His pediatrician assures me that there is nothing to worry about.  I am just a little nervous, but not freaking out because I think he just inherited the "Ray" head and he is proportionate. They will NOT sedate him for the test, instead we will keep him up late tonight and wake him up early tomorrow so he will (hopefully) nap during the scan (truthfully, this is the part that frightens me the most, haha). We have to be at the hospital at 9am and the scan is scheduled for 9:30am, so any and all prayers would be appreciated.
