Brooks' 15 Month Checkup

Wow, is he already 15 months old??? How time flies! We took Brooks in yesterday for his 15 month checkup and everything was great. STATS:

21 lbs: 5 - 10%
32" tall: 75%
50% for head size

The doc said that everything looks really good. He is way advanced in his motor skills, which we already knew, and a bit below normal in his verbal skills. He knows everything we say to him and can follow directions; however, he is too busy to find the time to say a lot of 'real' words. We read to him at least 3-4 times a day (as books are really his favorite toy) and work with him on all sorts of words, but he mostly gets the first or last part of words. He did learn what a pig says so he snorts and it is really funny - just like mommy's laugh! He also tries to make an elephant noise. His favorite word is still FISH or 'ish' as he says. We'll just keep on working with him and hopefully he will have progressed by his 18 month appointment.

Other than that, things are great. He is just the cutest little thing ever. I can't believe in 2 1/2 weeks we'll have another one...YIKES!
