Luke's 15 month check up!

My huge baby boy is finally starting to level out into a well proportioned toddler! :)
Here are his latest stats:

Length: 30.5 in (50-75%)
Weight: 24 lbs 8 oz (50-75%)
Head: 48.3 cm (75%)

To sum it up: he is an average size boy with a head that is a bit bigger than the rest of his body, but not so big that he is a freak of nature.

Most recent milestones:
-- He thinks he is Tarzan and should be able to climb anything and
everything within sight. When he can't quite get it, he screams.
--He speaks well, but about 75% of his vocabulary revolves around food.
Some of his words include: wawa (water), waffa (waffle), mo waffa (more waffle), juice, cheez (cheese), a-bi (a bite), hung (hungry), pop (as in, soda)
Other words: mom, dada, Tay, shoes, horse, dog (with sound effects), off (as in, "please take off my clothes"), how (meaning, Howie the stuffed dog, bink (binky), bank (blanket)
He says LOTS of words for his age and also likes to communicate by nodding and shaking his head in response to questions. He is almost always correct in his response as well.
--He likes to tell me when he is ready for bed.
--He puts up a huge protest if I dress him in the wrong clothes and is still throwing a fit over his new shoes.

Basically, he is an EXTREMELY opinionated child and the doctors response is "it will serve him well later in life, but for now, just roll with it and do your best!"


We LOVE our silly baby boy!
