Doctor

At naptime, I give Eddie warm milk from a sippy cup while he sits on my lap, and I usually have a cloth ready to wipe drips off his face and clothes and the cup. Today, after he had a long draught, he pointed at the cloth, then grabbed it and wiped off the lip of the cup himself. What a helper!

Eddie went to the doctor today for his 15-month checkup. His ear infection is all cleared up, and he's got a clean bill of health again. He got more upset about the doctor and nurse handling him than I've seen him do before. I wonder if his trip to the emergency room left a bad impression. He really squalled while the nurse tried to measure his length—this is pretty innocuous; she just wanted to stretch his legs out!

Eddie weighs 26 pounds, 6 ounces, and is 34 inches tall. That's 90th percentile for weight and 100th for height (Eddie is taller than 100% of all babies.) Then the poor guy had four shots! He didn't like that, but he cheered up pretty quickly.
