Noel had his 18-month appointment this morning. The little guy was not too pleased about being weighed, measured, and examined. Lucky for him, there were no shots today. Here are Noel's latest stats:
Weight: 23 pounds, 8 ounces (almost 25th percentile, up from 10th)
Length: 30 3/4 inches (10th percentile)
Head circumference: 49 1/4 cm (a whopping 90th percentile. Why do my boys have such big heads?)
Fortunately, there's not much more to say about the checkup. Noel's a healthy boy, if small. The next visit, barring illness or injury (that sound is me knocking on wood), will be at two years, which doesn't seem that far away.

Teagan's head is in the 97th percentile, so don't feel bad. Our doctor says it's her brains! I'm just thankful that she wasn't born with such a big head. =)
Yes, their heads have to be large to accommodate all that gray matter! At least Dom's head is more in proportion with his 90-95th percentile body. I don't think Noel's head looks too big for him, though.
You were lucky that Teagan wasn't so big when she was born. That would have been painful! (As if labor and childbirth weren't painful, right?)
