15 months check up

At 15 months:
Weight: 22LB 2 oz (10036 grams), gained 2LB from three months ago check up.
Height: 31.25" (79cm), gained 3", wow....
Head Circumference: 19.5" (50cm)- big head

The last check up was 3 months ago. You would think he won't recognize doctor office at all. But as soon as I undressed him for weight check with the nurse besides us, he started to cry. No one has even touched him yet with any strange tools. Then later when doctor came in, Yoshi started to feel uncomfortable as I could tell. To sum up Yoshi's struggle ~ here's doctor's quote: " It's quite normal for kids to react this way at 15 months check up. It's definitely a good sign to see him kicking with his legs, this means strong bones......." I just LAUGHED the entire time.... well, don't tell Yoshi, but he will have to experience this all over again next Tuesday, as we will be back for vaccination shots. We didn't do those today as he just recovered from the stomach flu. Hope there will be more stickers for him in doctor office, as they seem to be having a calming effect......

Oh, here are few Q&A from the visit:
Me: "Yoshi's stomach is sticking out, big belly, is it normal?"
Dr: "Yes, it's quite normal"

Me: "Yoshi is drooling a lot, A LOT, is it normal & how long will it last usually?"
Dr: "Yes, it's normal & he has lots of teeth. Usually up till 2 yrs old."
