The 'Ole Once-Over

Phoenix had his 18-month checkup today and things actually went better than expected. Yes, he did cry and struggle when the nurse came in to weigh and measure him, but surprisingly he was in fairly good spirits when the pediatrician gave him the 'ole "once over." Phoenix even laughed out loud when the doctor tickled him. No screaming. No red face. No struggling. "Is this MYson?" I thought. He even bounced back quickly from the vaccination he had to receive. All in all, a great appointment. He is now 32.5 inches tall and 28.5 pounds. And he still has an enormous head - 95th percentile.
