Belle reached her 18-month milestone on this year's Leap Day, and we went to her pediatrician for a regularly-scheduled check-up. Belle is totally healthy and made sure that everyone in the office knew that her lungs were in tact.
Belle weighs 23.5 pounds, which puts her in the 45th percentile for weight, and she is 34 inches tall, which is nearly 95th percentile (she remains tall and thin). Her head had grown quite a bit- all those brain- as it is now 18.5cm (60th percentile). An interesting shift reflecting her development: Belle received her two shots in her arms, instead of her thighs, since she walks so much now.
Despite Belle's screaming and crying, the doctor determined that Belle is growing well and is healthy. Scream all you want, Belle, but stay healthy and developing properly.
