Graham had his 15 month well visit today with Dr. Garrison and everything looked perfect! He is ahead with his speaking skills, comprehension, and his walking (ahem, running... he's fast!) He weighs 27 pounds and is 32 inches tall, both of which put him in the 75% for his age. That is right where he has been all along! The only bad part of our visit was that he had to get three immunization boosters. That's never fun and Graham is smart enough now to know what's coming so he was a bit nervous the minute we got there. But once it was over, he recovered quickly and went on to have a wonderful day! Such a brave and happy little guy!
Some recent milestones and memories:
- He is learning to use a spoon and doing really well with things like yogurt, oatmeal, and applesauce. It will be awhile longer before he can really scoop things that don't stick well to the spoon. But he is eager to learn and loves trying!
- He is repeating EVERYTHING we say! There are lots of words he uses on a regular basis, but even words he doesn't know well, he will repeat them if we say them.
- He has lots of new words that he uses correctly on his own. Some examples are: Thank you, cracker, more, banana, all done, I love you (eye-uv-oo!), down (like as a command to Jaker Baker!), Baker, binkie, blankie, and yay.
- He can do animal noises when asked. His piggy sound is the best! :)
- He is singing a little bit- mainly The Wheels on the Bus.
- He had become very ornery and usually does the opposite of what we direct him to do, but then he gives the biggest smile and hug in the world and it's hard not to laugh!
- He is still very into climbing and if you're not looking for a second, he'll be standing on top of a chair or the coffee table. It won't be long before he figures out how to get out of his crib, I'm afraid.
Graham is truly a joy. I just can't get over how much energy and life he has in him! He is so happy and loving. We enjoy every minute of being his parents!
