18 Month Checkup

Today was a big day for Chance, this morning we went to the park with our playgroup where Chane had a good time wondering around and playing on the equipment. He also got o pet a friendly little fluffy dog in preparation for picking up Deedle this weekend. After the park we came home where he took a quick nap and then we were off again to the Doctor's office for his 18 month check-up. He was very good for the whole visit but about halfway through he was ready to leave. He kept making a sad face ad pointing to the door. He was very good for the doctor. He practiced his fast walking skills, the Dr. said he will be running in no time. Everything checked out just fine. She said he was healthy and

he did not have to get any shots this time which was good news for Chance. He is 33 inches tall and weighs 28 lbs 2 oz. still tall for his age but he is well proportioned. We asked her about hm no having as many words as we hear he is supposed to have but she put any worries we may have had to rest. He showed her while we were there that he understands a lot and that he is communicating by pointing to his juice cup. He makes good eye contact and is very interested in what you are saying and doing and all these things mean it is nothing to worry about if he does not have quiet as many verbal words right now. That he will start talking soon enough and usually with late talkers once they start you can't make them stop so we will be in for a lot of fun when he does start really talking. Anyway all is well with Chance and he does not have to go back to the Doctor until he is 2 years old. This first picture is a little blurry but this was taken this morning while he was playing on the bed and it provides a sneak peek at our newly painted bedroom, we are still making some finishing touches before the unavailing and the second picture is of him at the playground today.
