Friday we took Alexander for his 15 month well baby check up and he is doing great. He weighs 24.2 lbs (43%), is 31 3/4" tall (65%) and his head is 18 1/2" (42%). He also had to get 2 shots. He cried quite a bit with the shots, but he calmed down pretty quickly afterwards. He is such a trooper!!
As you can imagine, he is walking and running everywhere! I can hardly keep up with him sometimes. He's a very happy, chatty little guy. He doesn't speak a lot of "words" yet, but you can tell that he is on the brink. He's starting to really try to repeat what your saying and paying very close attention to the names of objects and people. It's amazing to watch him figure things out. I also think he's very smart (I know, I'm his mom, of course I think he's a genius!!). This morning, Chris and I were sitting at the kitchen table and Chris asked him where his boat was. He went over to his bookshelf and looked at the books and then found the one he wanted, brought it to me, and he found a picture of a boat. He is an amazing genius!!!
He is also very, very affectionate these days. He loves to give out hugs and kisses to us. And really it's not just to his mom and dad. He gives them to the neighbor, the kids in his music class, and strange kids at the park. He's such a sweetie!! It is the best feeling to have him run up to you and throw his arms around your neck.
