Checkups all around

Everyone except DH has had a checkup in the past 2 weeks. DS1 had his 18 month checkup last week. He is doing very well, but still on the short side (but we knew that). Developmentally he is doing great. He weighs almost 25 pounds. That's in a higher percentile than his height, but he doesn't look chubby. I'm sure he is getting ready for a growth spurt because some days it seems like he could eat everything in the kitchen. The challenge is to give him lots of things that are good and few junk foods.

He also got his first MMR vaccine last week. We are doing the shots one at a time now so I can tell which shot causes any bad reactions that he might have. So far so good. :-) The MMR was sub-q and it stung so he pulled away and the nurse actually ended up sticking him 3 times. Poor guy!
