15 Month Update

Z had his 15 month check up today, which make 3 days in a row and a lot of hours that we have spent in waiting rooms.  He surprised everyone and grew 3 inches!  He now is 32 1/4 inches tall (catching up on 35in. big sis fast!).  Although he is tall, he is only 21 lbs, in the 15th percentile for weight- he feels heavy to me though!

Now that he is walking he is all over the place and keeping up with Abby pretty well.  It is so fun to go on walks with them and see them play together.

The Zack dictionary so far consists of:
Hiiiiiiii
Ba-bye
mo- more
ball
uncle
ga-goo - thank you
uh-oh
go-go-go ( let's go outside or do something please!!!!)
family names: Aba, mama, daddy, bampa, bama
shh  ( fish)
He is obsessed with growling.  He loves making animal sounds especially the lion ( GRRRRRR!) and other favs are elephants, dogs and dinosaurs.

He has tons of teeth.  I have lost count at this point but most are in if not all.  He also loves to climb and go outside.

We went cold turkey on the binky when we got home from our trip and I think it was more anxiety for me than him.  So far so good.

We also think Abby taught him the letter A.  He spontaneously said A and pointed to Matt's shirt with an A on it and has pointed out some other A's since.  No coincidence since Abby notifies anyone who will pay attention when there is an A (for Abby) in sight.

Some points of contention at this point are:
-Z think it's funny to throw food and put it on his head.  I disagree.
-He also loves to throw things away.  This can be helpful at time but generally a problem.
-Nap time has been very inconsistent and sometimes non existent:(
All in all I can't complain because he is a very sweet little guy and his personality is shining through more and more each day.
