18 Month D/A

Now that I have some time to write and not be interrupted, I will do so!

Brenton has his 18 month appointment on Thursday. He was 25lbs 3oz (66%) 36 1/4in tall (above the charts) and his head circumference had a percentile of 71%.. forgot the inch/cm amount, whoops.

Our new Doctor office has 4 Dr's. We have seen 3/4 Dr's now and they like you to see at least all of them to get to know them and vice versa. Brenton screams when we get in that room and I'm pretty positive it's because he knows he is going to get shots. After trying to get his weight so many times we stuck with what we got while he was holding onto me so who knows if that is even right.. same with the height he would not sit still for nothing.. screaming and throwing a fit. After the Nurse left I let him run around the room and he always loves doing that to get acquainted.

Doctor said he looks healthy and has no reasons to suspect anything other than him being a normal boy.. but he did say "Wow, he is a hyper boy." Could have told you that one! I told him ADHD runs in the family and he gave me the look like.. be on the look out. He is a wild one for sure. He was talking up a storm the whole time.. pointing outside saying "car, boat" over and over. Dr and I could only get him to say a few words but his constant words right now are car, boat, baby, ball, oh wow, thank you, lovey, yeah, hi, hey, bye, uh oh, ouch, up, duck, moo, dad, mom, tori (Devin's Sister), juice, cup, outside, diego, dora, brobee (from yo gabba gabba..) and a few others but this is what I can think of off the top of my head. He started speaking pretty much overnight and now copies a lot of the things we say. I always say "holy crap" and the other day he copied that.. eek.

Dr said he could have pulled Brenton's skin down on his penis for us instead of the surgery but it would bleed and hurt bad but he said he has done it before and successfully. I couldn't do it. Surgery is still set for Jan. Dr also gave us a book title.. forget what it is but its to help Brenton and us. Dr said to completely 100% ignore Brenton and his throwing because all he wants is attention. You know how hard that is when he throws something at our head or breaks something else? I'm trying though.. but it is challenging.
