15 Month Check-up

We got to go see Dr. Riser today, and I think this was the first time Mason didn't want anything to do with her!  He normally LOVES her, but today he stayed in his safe spot on my lap.  =)

He currently weighs 26.13 pounds, which means he's gained 12 ounces in the last 3 months.  He is 31.5 inches tall, which is half an inch more than his one year check-up.  He went from the 90th percentile (at every single appointment) to the 75th, but doctor riser said the decrease was perfectly normal because of his newfound energy and activity!

She was thrilled with him and his progress once again, which makes me so happy!  I don't know if she acts like this with every child, but she always makes me feel like he's so perfect!  We talked a little about separation anxiety and the transition to daycare in August, and she warned me that this is the hardest time to start something new like that, but that he would get over it pretty quickly.  She was impressed with his vocabulary too and said he was pretty advanced for 15 months!  He's learned lots of new words lately - ball, dog, book, hello, and bye to name a few!

This was the first doctor's visit that I didn't take the stroller in.  I realized he's gotten so big, he would much rather get down and play than hang out with me in the stroller, and I was right!  I normally get a little squeamish thinking about the germs on the toys in the waiting room, but he was having so much fun I couldn't say no!
