15 month check up


I forgot to post on Monday about Ed's 15 month check up. Nothing exciting to report. The doctor commented on how laid back Eddie was and asked a whole ton of developmental questions about what he was or was not doing. Saying any words? Walking? Can he follow simple instructions? I can't remember all the questions, but was surprised at a couple. Doc seemed to think he was doing fine.

So the stats: He is 31 1/4 tall, which is 50th%. I knew he was growing taller by virtue of the additional things he can reach. Check out this attached picture of him with the Monkey. Earlier this year, he used that thing to pull himself up and was equal in height to the Monkey. Now he towers over it like some kind of giant.

Weight: 22.13, this is 25th%. This is off significantly to our home weight of 24.5, but we weigh him fully clothed and diapered and they make us take everything off. He's only peed on the nurse once or twice.

Head circum of 19 inches, which is 75th%. The doctor said these were all fine stats, that they were continuing to follow the general trends--although I will say his head circumfrence is growing in percentage--he's starting to get a big head! Seriously, Den commented the other day on the shape of his head, that he will likely have a large head because it juts out so far to the back. Time will tell.

That's all. Nina's (the nanny) last day is today. Oh I've been dreading this. Next week while Den is gone all week is going to be a killer.

Ed had his first popsicle yesterday--he really seemed to like it. It was a cherry fruit based one, so it's not all high fructose sugar--a lot, but not all. He slept really well last night--till 5:30 this morning--yipee!
