Happy Day

Kai turned 18-months old on Friday and had his 18-month checkup. Of course we woke up to a significant snow storm and we had to travel into the Springs for an 8am appointment. The drive seemed to take forever and Kai was really restless. But it was worth it just to see the doctor's face when she saw his weight! Kai weighed in at 21 pounds 2.5 ounces--nearly a 2 and a half pound gain! He's back on the growth charts in the 3rd percentile. I was so excited. He is also 30.5 inches tall, which puts him in the 10th percentile. He's doing really well and the doctor was quite pleased with his progress. Of course, Kai's figured out the doctor thing and he started crying the minute she walked in the room. And good grief, he didn't want her to touch him. Top that off with the last 2 immunizations he had to get and a flu shot and he was a grouchy baby. Cute, but grouchy.

Later that day I took him out to play in the snow. Would you believe he was scared to touch it or stand in it. Even in his boots! Silly kid, I'm going to have to get him out in the snow more because this is Colorado and if you're scared of snow, well, you shouldn't be here!
