15 Month Check Up!

Our little Adrian reading a book while waiting at his 15-Month Checkup! It's unbelievable how quickly time goes when you have a little one. 15 Months!!! Where did all the time go? As much as I'm enjoying watching him develop into his own little independent person, it saddens me knowing that he's getting closer and closer to one day leaving the nest! :(
At 15 Months:

• Adrian is walking/running comfortably around
• His strong legs allow him to squat for quite a while (a skill he must've inherited from my side of the family!)
• His strong arms allow him to lift some very heavy objects, like the gallon sized milk jugs
• He can crawl up and slide down the stairs with ease (he also knows to turnaround onto his tummy to scoot himself backwards off our bed!)
• He can blow raspberries (and enjoys blowing them on mine or Daddy's tummy!)
• He has no qualms going down the slide by himself
• His vocabulary has greatly expanded to include words like: Ba Ba, Ma Ma, Yeh Yeh (Grandpa), Ma Ma (Grandma), Gor Gor (Brother), Uh Oh, Toodles, Ba Ba (for Barney), Elmo, Pooh (as in Winnie the Pooh), Woa Woa (Doggy), Mao Mao (Cat), Nieh Nieh (Milk), Mutt Mutt (Socks), Bye Bye, Nite Nite, Sui (Water) etc. He recognizes the names of all of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse characters and can point out each character when asked. He's also beginning to understand the names of all of Winnie the Pooh's friends.
• He's learning, and is far from being skilled at feeding himself. In fact, he usually gets more grub onto his face than into his mouth!
• He's showing major signs of independence by wanting to do things himself. There are times, where he refuses to do things if he doesn't get to it for himself
• He also recognizes a bunch of different animals and can point to them when asked
• Others that I can't seem to think of at the moment (you can blame it on my "Mummy Brain")

The following are Adrian's vital signs at 15 months:

Height: 32.5in (.826m) (86.36% percentile)

Weight: 25lb (11.34kg) (56.75% percentile)

Head Circumference: 19.09in (48.5cm) (84.14% percentile)

Our little munchkin is growing at a very healthy rate!
