Caleb's 18 Month Check Up

Today was Caleb's 18 month check up. I got him loaded up in the car, made him pose for the obligatory picture (he seems to know what is about to happen)...

...and then lo and behold MY CAR WON'T START! My car is only a year old so I never guessed it wouldn't start this morning. I vacuumed it out last night and I'm guessing one of the doors didn't shut well and so the battery died. Luckily Bryan was able to leave the hospital to come and take us to the doctor's appointment.

We got a great report on Caleb! The doctor thinks he is doing fantastic. Caleb apparently loves our pediatrician because he kissed her on the cheek (without prompting) three times! It was hilarious. Dr. Riser said he was a "little casanova".

Here are Caleb's stats from today:
Height: 33.5 inches (79th percentile for non-preemies)
Weight: 24 lbs 10 ounces (31st percentile for non-preemies)
Head Circumference: I can't remember the measurement but it was 70th percentile for non-preemies

We are thrilled with his progress, especially since those percentiles are not adjusted for his 8 week prematurity! Way to go Caleb!!!

Waiting patiently for Dr. Riser

Giddy Up

Caleb watched some football with Daddy this weekend while riding his Fisher Price horse -- what a great combo! Who wouldn't want to ride a horse while watching the big game?? The horse was a Christmas present from Gran Jan and Grandpa last year and Caleb is finally sturdy enough to enjoy riding on it!
