Gerrit's 15-month Check-Up

On Thursday I took Gerrit in for his 15-month check-up and I am so glad that I did. For the last several days his asthma has flared up and so I am back to doing breathing treatments. I believe he has allergies so I have been giving him that medication too! Also his eczema has been pretty bad so I am putting his medication on there as well. When I took him in he had an ear infection. The poor kid hasn't been sleeping and has cried for the last week. I just figured it was because of his asthma, but I was wrong. Today he is doing so much better and is happy and I have his asthma almost under control. His stats when I took him in was weight = 22 pounds 8 ounces, height = 32 inches. He is growing and getting so big. He only says mama and dada although I don't even think he knows what they mean. He has said "hi" at my mom's house, but hasn't said it since. He isn't really good at following commands, but does understand the word "no" since he hears that a lot (he is really naughty). By this age the doctor said they should be able to say 3-5 words and understand simple commands. Gerrit is really good at being naughty and grunting. He thinks it could be due to having older siblings and doesn't need to talk, but we will see how well he is progressing at his 18-month check-up.
