Jax had his 18m. check-up. Here are the figures:
Weight: 27lbs, 71%
Length: 33inches, 72%
Head Size: 20inches, 99%
At his check-up a lady came and talked with me about doing this a flu vaccination study with Jax. I guess they are trying to add one more strain to the current vaccine and they are doing some of the testing/study at my doctors office. I was a little freaked out initially because of the word "study" and they had to take a tsp. of Jax's blood in the beginning and at the end (2 months later). But, after discussing it with my doctor (who was not affiliated) I decided to do it. My doctor thought it was a REALLY good idea to get him vaccinated, and the study did just that. So i did it, #1-because they vaccinate him for free (normal flu vaccine and the H1N1 and possibly that new strain--no one knows if he got one with the new strain or not.); #2-because they give you $150 after it's all done (slight perk). So anyway, i've had to do this "journal" for a week; take his temperature every night, watch for abnormal behavior, check the injection site and such. He didn't seem to have had any reactions. So that is a relief. He doesn't really react to stuff very much, kinda like me; stuff just normally does what it's supposed to in my body. He rarely runs fevers. he is always like 97.0 degrees. not even 98. And i never have fevers either. My family just doesn't really get them...a fever for us is like 100; and that means we are pretty sick. Sorry; I'm rambling.
Look how cute!

Ps. He is all over that tree. K, and i mean, i can see the draw, it's gotta be tempting, but really I cant believe it hasn't fallen over. Lets all pray it makes it till Christmas...:)
It's a little bleary because I took the picture with my phone...
Love this little trouble maker!
Ps. If anyone has any cool disciplinary tactics for 18 month olds do share. I'm loosing that battle FAST. He seems to be un-affected by everything...

hey I got a letter in the mail asking me to have my kiddos do that study. I wanted to do it, but I forgot, and Rocky is a bit behind on his vaccinations, does that matter? hmmm. I would like 150 bucks. my kids always do totally fine with those things too.
ReplyDeletewhen you learn disciplinary tactics share them with me. rocky is a little terd.
I donna becca, I think it's just luck of the draw, they came and talked to me; I didn't do anything. But Jax IS caught-up on his shots, I Donno if it made a difference...$150 is pretty cool. Just jump on board next time.:)
