Noah's 15 Month Checkup

Just a quick update for our records.

Noah had his 15 month check up last week. He weighed 24 lbs 7.5 oz, which is in the 50th percentile and is 33" long, which is in the 93rd percentile. Long and lean like his daddy.

Of course, he screamed as soon as Dr. Jafri wanted to check him out and not just cry, but scream bloody murder. There is one thing for sure, he doesn't like who he doesn't know.

She was impressed at the scribbles he made on the paper on the table. She said at 15 months to be holding a crayon like that was really good. He LOVES to color, but now he only wants to color with markers. Thanks to Ava.

Noah has what is called, Ankyloglossia, or a short frenulum, also know as tongue-tied. He basically can't stick his tongue out very far. The doctor noticed it when he was an infant, but she wasn't concerned because he was eating well, which is a common problem with it. When he learned how to stick out his tongue, we noticed that it didn't go out that far. So I brought it up again at our appointment to see what implications this has. She basically said it may affect his speech. At this point, to get it clipped, he will need some general anesthesia. So we should just wait and see how it goes and when it does become a problem, then we can go and get it looked at or we can go after our 18 month appointment.

Other than that, she said that he was doing well. We think so!!!
