Oscar had his 15-month checkup a few months late... So, it's really a 17-month checkup. He did great, didn't even flinch for the first shot. Second one made him cry a little, but a little milk put a quick end to it. Another tough kid.
His height is 33" (79%), weight is 24 lbs. (54%) and head is 18.5" (44%).
Growing normally, healthy, all good.
He has had lots of ear fluid that doesn't seem to want to clear, so we were instructed to be more diligent about saline spraying and we're trying to always have a humidifier in his room when he sleeps. Hopefully those two things will help. He hasn't had the requisite number of ear infections to require tubes, but since he's also not totally on top of his game as far as words are concerned, the doc is keeping a closer eye on things. I wasn't worried since the twins were a little slow on language development, too, and that CLEARLY hasn't been a problem. But, the doc wants us to work on it. It feels like in response he's having more interest in trying out new words. I might just be imagining it, though, to be able to defend why he shouldn't get tubes...
The kid loves life. Giggles and laughs and seeks adventures and fun. He's also super active. Even moreso than Sylvia. He has a little more attitude (3rd child syndrome, I believe) and definitely knows what he wants. Fortunately, he's pretty good about napping and nighttime, though, so at least we don't have to battle one. Yet.
