15 month appointment

Today was Matti's first appointment since Jason got out of the Navy. It took FOREVER!!! lol. I always heard when Jason was in that our wait times were long. We went to Langley AFB & they were always pretty good with seeing us on our appointment time. So we went today. We showed up at 2:30 like we were asked to...our appointment was at 3:00pm. We got called in around 3. The nurse took us to a room where she measured Matti's head, height & weight. After that, she told us to wait in the waiting area for doctor. So we waited....and waited.....and waited. Finally, we were the only ones in the waiting area..and finally we got called in. We got showed to a different room.....and more waiting. Matti was restless & grumpy & cranky & just everything. He wanted to either be held or play with everything in sight. Finally, we saw the doctor, and he was good. :) It felt kinda rushed since I think we were the very last appointment, but he still took the time to play with Matti and get him comfortable. I liked the Dr. but it just felt rushed. Everything was fine & we were given orders to come back on the 18th. Dr. left & the nurse came back for Matti's shot. Just one :) & he took it like a champ! Once that needle was out of his leg, he was fine & trying to figure out what "bit" him lol. We made his next appointment & set it in the morning..I'll see if I still get that "rushed" feeling then.

So beeb boy's stats:

Height: 30 in. (@ his 6 month, 28 in) which puts him in the 10th percentile
Weight: 21.6 lbs (@ 6 month, 19 lbs) which puts him way below..not even in the 3rd percentile. he gained 2 lbs! but he is still so small for his age...he takes after his momma for sure!
Head: 48 cm which puts him in the 75th percentile..lol!! yay! but of course, we knew his head was massive anyway.

He says 7-8 words & signs "more" & "all gone." He has little ways to let us know he needs milk or whatever else. So overall, he's doing great!
