Max had a great appointment today. I can't say enough how much I love our pedi! At all of his well checks she always stays and talks to us for about 30 minutes or longer. She covers everything and takes time to play with Max and interact with him. Today she had him show her animals in a book, had him point out body parts (i.e. nose, mouth, eyes) and then she kept refilling his cup with water for him (he has an obsession with cups at the moment, lol). As far as the appt she said that he is looking great, he has hit a plateau on his weight and will probably stay where he is on the charts, which is ok. Developmentally he is advanced for his age. I'm so proud! She talked to us about potty training and how we should slowly introduce things, but that he won't be ready for real training for about 6 months or so. She talked to us about discipline and how it is important to redirect them and to stay calm. And she asked about our wedding and asked if we were going to get away for a few days afterwards. I told her that we were planning on taking Max and she really suggested that we leave him with someone, she even offered to watch him, lol!!! I told her I wasn't ready to leave him anywhere yet and she said that I should consider it. So we'll see.
Overall it was a great appt, exept for the shots. I think that Max is starting to get the connection between the doctor's office and shots. He was so scared of the nurse and even started crying when they put him on the scale to get his weight He started screaming when the nurse came back into the room too. At least no more shots till he is 4. We go back in 6 months for his 2 year check up!
