18 Month Check-Up


Emerson turned 18 months old on June 26, 2009, but we had to wait until July 9th to see Dr. Maslanka. She loves going to the doctor's office because everyone knows her from the months that we practically lived last fall into this spring. What made it even more fun was that Ryan and Kallan came too. Kallan got to come over the night before and spend the night at our house. Kallan is so much fun and he loves Emerson.

The boys were a big help to me by keeping Emerson entertained while we waited. We enjoyed Annie's honey bunny snacks in the waiting room and Emerson played with all of the toys.











The boys had a good time playing with the Ben 10 creatures that they made that morning. Emerson got undressed and went to the weighed. We quickly returned to the room and waited for the doctor. Emerson spent the time running back and forth through the room. After 2 minutes the door opened and Dr. Maslanka walked in. The first thing that he said to us was that he could mark running of the check list. The picture is a little blurry but she was running really fast.

I was able to tell Dr. Maslanka that Emerson is eating a good variety of foods, starting to use the potty chair, running, jumping, signing, saying more than 10 words, recognizing people, and lots more. I was pleased (overachiever that I am) that I could say yes to all of his questions.







Emerson's 18 months stats:
Length: 33" (between 75-90th percentile)
Weight: 27 pounds 2 ounces (between 75-90th percentile)
Head Circumference: 18 3/4" (75th percentile)

Aren't you so glad that we don't have to post our own stats? :)
