15 Month Checkup

Well Boston....it's official. You are fat :) You weigh 25.9 lbs, putting you in the 85%. That was great, and not the issue. The issue is that you are 31.10 inches long putting you in the 52%. Which means your height to weight ratio is spread too far apart. Dr. Wannacott said to take you off juice to reduce your calorie intake. Basically, you're growing wider faster than you are growing taller haha. Oh boy. I think you're fine, but we'll take you off juice anyways. I'll just give you flavored water instead ;) by the way, you are not fat! 

The good news is that she told us you are above average in your development. Normally at this age kids can only say 5 words, and you can say almost10! Mom, dad, ball, balloon, boo, bye, banana, no, and thank you! You can point to some body parts (nose, mouth and eyes) and can eat pretty good with a fork. You understand most of what I say. If I ask you where something is, like binkie, blankie, juice, bottle, or book, you'll go find it. 

Ou still don't have any molars yet, she said kids usually have them by now, but you have been a late (and drawn out) teether, and they'll come in soon. 

You made it out without any shots! You were due for one, but she gave us the option of getting it with the others at your next appointment to give you a free day :) Yay! Good thing too, because you screamed and cried harder at this appointment than any of your others. You screamed when anyone even walked near you. You're not a dummy! She said kids are aware at this age of what's happening. Next appointment will be rough too :( we'll get a treat next time!
