18 Month Appointment

Ryder had his 18 month Dr appointment this afternoon. He measured in at 32 1/4 in, and weighed in at 25 bls 8.5 oz. He is in the 50th percentile for both. What a change, he used to be such a lil chunker and was way up in the 90th percentile.
The Dr came in and Ryder impressed her and had her laughing right away. He was really showing off his jibber jabber skills, he just talks and talks. His Dr said that by his next appointment, at 24 months, he will probably be using full sentences.
Ryder is getting in some of his molers and had a fever all day yesterday. We thought it was just do to the teeth coming in. It turns out that he also has an ear infection. This is the first one he has had, and the day has not been fun. We got some antiobiotics for the infection so hopefully it will clear up quickly. His eczema is also flaring up, so we got some perscription cream for that as well. Other than that he was perfectly healthy and right on track with all of his milestones.
At 18 months Ryder knows his hair, eyes, nose, ears, teeth, mouth, belly, toes, feet, knees, and fingers. He can also name several of his flashcards like firetruck, doggie, shoes, fish, bus, truck, baby and ball.
He is also following basic instructions and understands if we tell him to throw something away, or put something in a basket. We will also give him something and tell him to bring it to mommy or bring it to daddy and he know what we are telling him to do.
We think he must be the smartest little boy in the whole world! :)

  1. Crazy how they change every few months! I always enjoy going to Camdyn's well visits to see how she is growing (we get to do this today in fact). Ryder is growing into a very handsome little guy!
