15 Month Statistics

Noah had his 15 month well child check-up yesterday. He weighed in at 24 lbs 1.5 oz (49th percentile for weight) and was 31.5 inches tall (60th percentile for height). He had four shots: the 4th in the Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis series, his Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine, the Chicken Pox vaccine, and the Flu vaccine. Ouch. He didn't cry at all after the first shot, but sobbed after the next three. Poor thing. It breaks my heart, but I strongly believe that it's the best thing for him. So far he has not had any reactions, but both the MMR and the Chicken Pox vaccine can have a delayed response of up to two weeks, so he may get a slight fever and/or a rash at some point soon.
