18 Mo Old Well Visit

We went for Anthony’s 18 mo old well visit yesterday, and everything is progressing wonderfully. He is only in the 25% percentile for height but the doctor seemed unconcerned, and really so am I. We really aren’t all that tall so I didn’t expect him to be. Granted there is always the off chance he gets my grandpa’s height (6′) in addition to those baby blues, but I think it would have already shown itself if it were going to happen.
Since his 15 mo appt he has gained a little over a pound to reach a whopping 24 lb 9 oz and is 31″ tall. I’m supposed to take him over to the health department to get his shots but have been procrastinating doing it but I suppose I’ll need to do it soon. I also asked the Doc about his herniated bellybutton and his constant picking at it and he said it was nothing to worry about. The hole is small and will continue healing (fusing?) and just do my best to keep his fingers out of there. Of course, that is easier said than done! I’ve taken to putting onesies on him to give his belly button a break since he drills at it nonstop some days.
