This week, David went to the doctor for his 18 month check-up and to the dentist for his first visit ever.  The doctor said that everything looks good and that he’s meeting all of his milestones.  He now weighs 28 pounds, 11 ounces, and he is 49.5 centimeters long.  This puts him right around the 85th percentiles for both height and weight.  This was the first check up in a long time where David didn’t have to get shots!

Then, we took David to his first dental visit this morning.  We suspected that he had an extra tooth, and his doctor recommended a good pediatric dentist in our area.  David did really well!  In fact, he probably did better than I do at my dental visits.  The dentist said that his teeth and gums look healthy, and that he does in fact have an extra tooth.  They’re just going to watch it for right now, but he’ll likely get braces in the future.  I’m just glad that they didn’t have to pull it!
