15 Months.... almost 16



Chuck visited the doctor last week. He cried... a lot. he figured out how to open the door of the room and was so upset I wouldn't let him out in the hallway. He cried for about 15 minutes before he ever got a shot. He didn't care for the shot but was so excited to get to walk down the hallway that he had forgotten about the shots!

He is a healthy growing boy. He has consistently been in the 90% on height, weight, and head size. He is currently hitting 85% in weight and head size and is a whopping 100% in height!!! ( Thanks Dr. and Poppy). I always knew he was going to have those Weber men genes.

The doctor asked if he was making animal sounds ( yes, he barks and is starting to moo). She asked if he is saying words ( yes, his new word is bubble..... the doctor was impressed by that one!) She made sure he was walking ( did I mention they are "learning" how to run at school.....). She also wanted to make sure he was eating a well rounded diet ( you mean the pork, brussel spouts, and cherries he had for dinner?) I do owe the whole good eating thing to daycare. If he didn't go to school he would probably not be very healthy.

Chuck is teething. I think as he gets older he is learning to deal with the pain. We had a great ( and very exhausting weekend) and then I noticed that 3 teeth were trying to poke through. We made it without one meltdown!

We visited the zoo this weekend, Bass Pro Shop, and a 1600 square foot playground. ( Now that Chuck is walking/running, there are more places we can go.... although it definitely makes it more exhausting!) I also finally got some sand in his sandbox so we introduced him to sand this weekend. He loves it except has developed a love for throwing sand. Chuck also likes to stick keys in key holes so we got him a master lock. We will see how long it takes him to get it unlocked.
