We went to John's fifteen month well-baby visit on Tuesday. He's about half way through his fifteen month, but sometimes it takes awhile to get an appointment.
Our pediatrician has student interns and we had a nice one. She was a young lady maybe a few years younger than me. John took quite a liking to her. He demanded that she pick him up and would not straighten up to allow her to put him down. Then, he cried when she left the room. So much for kids his age experiencing stranger danger. The way he is friendly with everyone is a bit scary because in the back of your mind, there's a fear that he'd walk away with anyone.
So he's now 25 lbs, 31 inches tall and his head circumference is 19 inches or something. He got his DTaP shot. We've been getting all his vaccinations at normal times. I know some people really aren't into that and it's a bit scary to me. Tim's uncle still is suffering some effects of polio that struck him as a child. It's just nice to know that won't happen to Johnny. But to each their own.
She did recommend we keep his seat facing backwards another nine months. This is a hard one since his feet have recently started hitting the seat. They really need to start designing seats to accommodate this.
His vocabulary is, in my opinion, pretty outstanding. He calls people he sees most often by name. My sister Elyse is E, Kelly is either Kelly or Kiki, my mom is Mom Mom, my dad and father-in-law are PaPa or my dad's case also John, Elyse's boyfriend Ray is Ay, and Tim and I are Momma and Dada. He can also say bad, good, kitty and hi. He shakes his head yes and no.
He is also pretty good with his motor skills, which is amazing as his mother is terrible with motor skills. He can walk very well and runs quite a bit. He can walk up stairs with ease and down one stair. He loves dancing and busts a move whenever he hears music. Sometimes, I can hear him "singing" along with the radio in the car.
I guess he's probably quite average, but he's pretty amazing to me:)
So that's the story of John at 15 1/2 months:)
