15 Month Check-Up

Aidan went to the doctor on Tuesday for his 15 month check-up. His stats were: Weight: 24 lbs. 0.5 oz. (45%) & Length: 33" (90%). We've got one tall little fellow on our hands. The doctor said everything looked great (except his double ear infection of course). We continue to be so incredibly thankful for such a healthy, amazing little boy! Here are a few tidbits about our little man at 15 months old:

* He loves the song "London Bridge is Falling Down" and has to have it sung to him or played in the car OFTEN

* He can say the following animal sounds when you say the animal: dog, cow, lion, monkey, elephant, sheep

* He can identify the following body parts when you ask where they are: eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, fingers, toes, foot, leg, arm, belly, "pee pee" (ha!), hair, & tongue

* He can say these "words": Dada, Mama, Nana, Papa, "Nu" (Uncle Nuch), Meme, Granddaddy (in his own broken, screaming way), Ba-Ba (bottle), "I do", Thank You, Bye-Bye, "Ello" (Hello), ball, MINE, and shoes

* He only drinks from sippy cups (gave up bottles at 12 months) and is starting to feed himself with a spoon

* LOVES to be outside...I think he would live out there!

* He loves to do ALL things BOY: climb, run, play with cars, play with any type and any size ball

* He loves to have his teeth brushed and fingernails clipped and gets upset when we are finished

* He sometimes has stranger anxiety and LOVES, LOVES, LOVES his Daddy and Nana- He walks around the house saying, "My Nana"!

* He can follow simple directions like, "Aidan go get your shoes. Aidan please pick that up off the ground."

* He pushes the limits...he has to be popped several times before he gives in...did someone say stubborn?

* He gives hugs and kisses- oh this melts my heart every time!

* He LOVES straws and drinking (playing) with them in cups at restaurants

* He is very independent and loves to do things himself

* He loves to read books while snuggling in his rocking chair

* He is a little OCD (not quite sure where he gets that from!?!)- he will stop crawling up the stairs if there is a piece of string or dirt on a step until someone picks it up....sheesh!
