18 Month Check-Up
This week Brody has been busy going to his doctors' appointments... just for check-ups! Our first doctor appointment this week was for his 18 month check-up. Brody is in the 50th percentile for his height (32 in) and weight (25 lbs). His head is in the 95th percentile... yes folks he still has his big noodle head. We all still have concerns about Brody's calcium intake or lack there of.... every time he eats just a serving of go-gurt he has a terrible diaper (you get what I am trying to say). So, we have scheduled an appointment to go and meet with a Pediatric GI doctor from Stanford next month. I will keep everyone up dated with the results of that appointment. Brody did receive his last shot and he was a trooper.
1st Dentist Appointment
Yesterday I took Brody to his first Dentist appointment. I did not have concerns about his teeth, I just wanted to him to start getting used to going to the dentist. He did great! The dentist office was straight out of the movie "Finding Nemo." The fish tank with the dental chair behind...yup it was there! They even had all of the same fish in the tank. The office was accessorized with plush fish on the benches and jelly-fish hanging from the ceiling.
Brody received a new penguin tooth brush, a picture, a sticker and a baseball to remember his trip to the dentist. The dentist told me to be expecting a book in the mail about taking care of teeth. In the book I will be able to put his picture and add his sticker. I can't wait to see this book! I was very impressed with Brody's new dentist. She was super nice and we are looking forward to seeing her in August!
While we waiting for the dentist, Brody showed the dentist how we brush his teeth. I then asked the dental assistant to help take pictures of Brody first trip to the dentist. The assistant took some great pictures and had no fear about putting the camera right into Brody's face.
Brody sat backwards on my lap and then we leaned him back so the dentist
could examine his teeth.
Brush... brush... brush...
Counting teeth... 1...2...3... 16!
You have 16 teeth!
Words can not express how much I love this picture....
I think his eyes say it all!
