Rylan had his 18 month checkup today. We tried out a new pediatrician in the same practice because we weren't liking the last one we'd seen. Today I saw the pediatrician that Missy takes her boys too. I liked this doctor a lot better but I still didn't absolutely love her. I think I just miss our pediatrician in Knoxville. He was laid back and much more realistic with expectations regarding diet, potty training, etc. I don't mind being told that the boys need to eat more vegetables and such, but I just don't love the approach these doctors have been taking.
Ultimately, this pediatrician listened to all my concerns, asked lots of questions about Rylan's development so she could make sure he is on track, and was sweet to him. So we'll see her again and then decide if we want to stay with her.
The pediatrician said Rylan looked great, was developing normally, and only had to get one shot. Here are his stats. She wasn't worried at all about Rylan's weight since he's proportional with his weight and height.
Rylan's 18 month stats:
- Weight: 27 lbs, 3 oz (50-75th percentile)
- Height: 32.5 inches (50-75th percentile)
Rylan's 15 month stats:
- Weight: 26 lbs, 2 oz (75th percentile)
- Length: 31.75 inches (70th percentile)
Carter's 18 month stats:
- Weight: 23 lbs, 1 oz (14th percentile)
- Height: 31.5 inches (26th percentile)
Today was Carter's first day back at Parents' Day Out and we went to the Predators game tonight (I'll post about that later). Tomorrow is going to be a rough day with short naps and getting to bed so late. Oh well!
