Connor: Fifteen Month Check-Up

    Right after Aaron and I jumped out of the tower at GI Jane Day, we rushed right across the street to the clinic for Connor's 15 month check-up. It was Connor's first time being seen at this clinic since we moved to Italy. I like the clinic here a lot more. It is much newer and there was a really fun area for Connor to play in. The rooms were also a lot bigger and had cute themes. However, I like his old nurse and pediatrician more. They seemed more talkative and interactive with Connor. 

He had fun playing here!

    We only waited for about 10 minutes before the nurse called us back to check his height, weight, and vitals. He weighs 25 pounds, 10 ounces (63% -starting to loose some baby weight). He is 32.5 inches long (83%) and his head is 18.31 inches around (28%). 

" I want your camera mom!"

Getting weighed.

    After she got all his info, we moved to the office a couple doors down. She asked us a few milestone questions and then we waited for the doctor. 

 Waiting patiently.

 We were in the hot air balloon room today.

 Playing around with daddy.

 Looking at his belly button.

 He wanted for me to hold him.

 "What are those things mom?"

    When the doctor came in, he assessed Connor and asked us some questions. We asked him some back and that was it. He is totally healthy and growing perfectly! We went back to the play area to wait for him to get his immunizations. They called us back after a couple minutes and gave me an updated immunization sheet. Aaron kept Connor happy by showing him the colorful alphabet border on the wall. 

    When it was time for him to get his shots (DTaP, HIB, Hep A), I stepped away and Aaron held his arms while he got the shots on his thighs. She did it really fast and he only cried for a few seconds. Afterwards we went to the pharmacy to grab some Tylenol in case he needed it later, and to waste the 15 minutes that they want for us to stay near the clinic in case he has any type of allergic reaction. 

 He was pointing to his bandaids.

    Now that it has been 2 days since his shots I can say he handled them really well. He didn't get any knots or red spots from where the shots were and no fever! Yay!
