We had Chanler’s 18 month visit today (about a week early, but close enough). Everything looks great. Chanler was particularly shy and clingy during the examination, but he did manage to blow kisses “bye bye” when the doctor was leaving, so it couldn’t have been too traumatic. Actually Chanler didn’t really want to leave the Dr. office, they have fish and toys in the reception area and he wanted to stay and play.

Stats:
Weight 24lbs 7oz (25 percentile although he wouldn’t sit still on the scale so the Dr. thinks he is probably closer to 26lbs.)
Height 34 In (90 percentile)
16 Teeth (all except the 2 year molars)

As a side note the word list seems short to me, but it doesn’t include all the words or phrases that Chanler UNDERSTANDS. There are plenty of things that he knows I am saying and can react to and there are things he says that I just haven’t figured out what he means yet.
