15 month check-up

Thad had his 15 month check up with Dr. Hoover yesterday. He weighed 24 lbs 9 oz and was 30 inches tall. He has definitely slowed down on his weight! We were looking at his growth chart when he was a buddha baby and in the 80th percentile around 7 months! Now he is in the 50th percentile in both height and weight. He had to get only 2 shots and cried for just a minute. He is a tough little guy. Dr. Hoover said he looked great and was right on track. Of course he didn't like to hear Thad still gets a bottle at night. He said to try and wein him off soon. He loves his bottle, binkie and little blankie he carries around with him. I think a few more months won't hurt! As long as he doesn't take his bottle to preschool with him I think we'll be fine. ;)

He now has 12 teeth. He loves biting into a sandwich or cracker, anything with a crunch he loves! He now bites his gold fish in half and thinks it is so funny. His favorite words to say right now is of course dada (he still won't say mama very often, I think he does this on purpose!), papa, cha cha (for chauchi), ball, more, hot, dog dog and Jesse(his friend from daycare). He oots like a monkey whenever he see's a dog or other animal. He also knows baby sign language. Rhonda his babysitter teaches the kiddos sign language. He knows how to sign milk, more, all done, sleep, dada, mama, and please.

Rhonda started a blog for the daycare kids. You'll have to check it out from time to time to see Thad and all his daycare friends. It is on my blog list under Rhonda's heart to heart blessings.
