Max's 15 month Check up (late news)

Max realized how fun it was to move the desk chair out of the way and sit under here this morning...silly boy!

I just realized that I never gave udpates after his 15 month check up last month (9.18.07). Whoops!

All in all...he's a healthy boy!

Weight: 23pds 6.5oz (40%)

Height: 32" (75%)

HC: 46" (25%)

Poor guy had to have blood drawn to test and make sure he has built up the HepB immunities and they had a hard time w/ the first arm, so it took forever to draw any blood...and then they found that they didn't get enough, so they had to do the next arm. That was traumatizing for both of us. He screamed! But, thankfully we got a call a few days later from his Ped and he's got the immunities! Phew.

Then to top it all off...he needed 2 shots. He had bandaids all over him! Let's just say...he didn't like seeing ANYONE with a white coat on after that visit!

Next visit is at 18months.

Here are some fun things he's been up to lately:

• He's all about his "Hi" (which sounds like "I") and "Bye Bye"s (which sound like "Bah Bah") - it's so cute...I'll take him down to the basement to visit Papa during the day and he'll run around the corner waving his hand saying, "Hi! Hi! Hi!"
• When he eats something he likes he'll say, "Mmmmmm" all exaggerated
• He's pretty good about saying "Thank you" (Ta Cuuuu) and sometimes he'll do something on his own and just say it, like he'll put his sippy cup on the table and then say "Ta Cuuuu".
• He applauds his efforts a lot...if he puts a toy away he'll clap after
• Other words he says: "No" (Na), "More" (Mo), "Ya", "Michael" (Ga-Ko or just Ga), "Bite" (Buy) as in "More Bite" (Mo Buy), "No touch" (Na Taaa), "Call" (Caa Caa), "Nose" (no), "Baby" (Bah Bah) and he'll rub my belly!, "Shoes" (Suuuu)...I'm sure there are others...but I can't think. His inflections in words and his facial expressions are an absolute hoot!
• He dances by either swaying his hips and head or he'll just bop his head to music
• He knows where my nose is, pats his tummy if I ask where his tummy is, and he'll grab his ear if I ask him where his ears are (but he does that if I ask him where his other features are too. LOL)

I could probably go on for days...the kid is just a blast to be around. He's definitely taking on the funner personality traits of both Brad and myself. He's just a happy kid and smiles a lot!

Oh...the other night I put him to bed and he had his binkie in his mouth and his blanket in his arms as I was holding him and I took out his binkie and asked for a kiss...so he leaned over and gave me a sloppy one, then I put his binkie back in his mouth. Then he took his binkie out by himself and gave me another sloppy one and then put it back in and laid his head on my shoulder. Ahhhhh...if I could bottle those moments!
