Julie had her 18 month appointment on Monday. She must have remembered all the needles she has received there, because as soon as we went into the doctor's office, she started screaming and wouldn't stop! But, she is in perfect health and has grown quite a bit in length! She is now 34 inches long, which puts her at the 95th percentile for length for her age. She hasn't put on much weight though, she is still between 22 and 23 pounds, which puts her at about the 25th percentile for weight for her age. She is walking up a storm now and says about 8 to 10 words, so she's right on track.
The doctor will order another ekg for Julie sometime within the next couple of months just to make sure that the small hole in her heart wall has closed. She couldn't hear a murmur anymore, so it has most likely closed, but she'll want an ekg just to be sure. I'm not looking forward to that since getting an 18 month old to sit still for an hour while being poked and prodded will be no easy task!
