Yesterday was Logan’s “18th month old” doctor’s visit.  Stuart took the day off work, so we all went together.  After an hour wait for his doctor, Logan had saved just enough patience for the doctor’s exam.  He passed everything on the development checklist, i.e. say at least 7-10 words, throw balls, using spoons, knows a few body parts, etc.  The one thing that Logan needs to work on is to wean completely off bottle.  Guess we’ll start that soon.

His new stats are:

Wt: 28 lbs (78 percentile, up from 69%)

Ht:  2’10” (92 percentile, up from 89%)

Head circumference: 20” (consistently at 99 percentile)

     On the same night as his Dr visit, Logan became sick with a stomach flu that has been going around at his daycare.  He started throwing up right before bedtime when Daddy was getting the bedtime bottle ready (mommy was out socializing).  Logan ended up not wanting any of his milk and went straight to bed.  After that, he woke up 2 other times and threw up all he had eaten from dinner.  After the last cry at midnight, he slept through the night again.  Today he felt so much better, the usual playful self again but with just a very small appetite.  We were thankful that the illness was brief and he did not have any fever or diarrhea either.  Back to school young man!
