Liam's 18 Month Check Up

Like all the other things in my life I am behind on taking Liam to the doctor for his check ups.  For his 18 month check up he was 19 months and 17 days old.  Dr. Eastham's schedule is never available to schedule the next appointment when you are there so I forget to call and when I do call he is so backed up that we get off track.  We went on July 17, and made a day of shopping out of it too.  Aunt Maggie came along with us.  We got Ryan some new running shoes and a haircut and then headed to the Dr. office.  We were early, for once, and sat there for 30 minutes before they took us back.  I stripped him down and they weighed him.  He weighed 23.38 pounds which is the 29%.  He was 32.75 inches long and boy does he hate to lay down to be measured! That makes him 41% in length.  And to no one's surprise his head circumference was 19.09 inches which is the 74%!!!!! Dr. Eastham was happy with how well he is growing and how much he knows.  He was impressed with his Ipad skills!  At the end he got 2 shots  :(  He recieved his DTaP and his Hib vaccine.  He cried out just for a minute or two and by the time we were out of there he was his happy little self!  We went and ate at Fulin's which gave me a horrible headache.  I had picked up an extra shift at work that night so I had no sleep.  When we got home we noticed the dogs were out of the fence.  When we found the dogs we realized that Memphis the great dane had sliced his leg open on the fence so off to the vet we went.  Ryan had to go into work so it was Maggie and I and the 150lb dog.  Thank goodness when we got to the vet that work called me and put me on call.  Dr. Hackett put him to sleep and sewed him up and sent us on our way.  By the time we got home and had to find help to get him in the house and then work called and I had to go in.  Needless to say is was a busy day and looooong night!  Just happy that I have a happy healthy big boy!
