We went to Lillian's 15 month well visit appointment. She had quite a bit of energy to burn so when they called us to the room I let her walk herself down the hall and just held her hand. Everyone commented on how cute she was toddling down the hall on her own and saying hi to every nurse. We had to wait about 20 minutes before the doctor came into the room and Lillian was all over the place in the room - exploring everything and checking all the drawers and cabinets to ensure they were properly childproofed. When the doctor did come in she was very impressed by Lillian - of course we know Lillian is so very advanced for her age, but it was nice to hear someone else confirm it. The doctor gave me the list of goal achievements for 18 months (they always give it to you so you can get a feel for where you kid should be in the next 3-6 months). Lillian is already doing all but one of the things on the list (I put the list after the jump).
Two things came of the visit that we need to followup on. Frist, an xray of Lillian's hips. The fat rolls on her legs aren't symmetrical and while that can signal nothing it could also be the first signs of hip dysplasia which is much easier to address if caught early. Second, the rules dealing with kids who have immediate family with allergies have changed. We need to bring Lillian to an allergist to do a scratch test. We have that scheduled for the last week of March (as kids allergists book up like crazy).
