15 months

Andrew went for his 15 month check-up last week and was the lucky recipient of 4 shots!  He actually handled it quite well, considering the quantity of pricks he had to endure.
His stats:
Length: 31 1/2 (I think)- about the 50th percentile
Weight: 25 lbs (75th percentile)

I informed Dr. H that we were having a hard time keeping up with Andrew and his need to eat any and everything ALL of the time.  He laughed and just said that he would stop eating so much by 18 months and become a picky eater.  I suppose he knows something, as he has been in this game for a while, but this kid loves food.  We shall see.

 
We also hit a big milestone with Andrew's first haircut.  I received quite a bit of flack for cutting off his "curls," but the boy was working on a riotous mullet and it needed to be dealt with!  He actually did very well, and sat in Jeremy's lap and enjoyed his sucker.  


He started his new class at Harris this month and has made the transition quite well.  We love his new teachers, and we love the fact that they e-mail us a picture of Andrew nearly everyday.  It is a quite rowdy crowd with 7 boys and 3 girls, but I think they (the girls) are holding their own quite well.  He is now sleeping on a cot at school, which makes me somewhat sad that my baby is not in a crib.  Here is a cute picture of him thinking that he going to school; it was Saturday henceforth the diaper and no pants!



He now says a few more words.  He says Mama, Dada (although when he is calling for Jeremy he just shouts "DA"), more, bye-bye, and ball.  His receptive language is impressive, however.  He follows very detailed instructions and understands most all of what we say; he just chooses not to speak a lot in return!  All in due time I am sure.

He and Ollie are tolerating each other although I think Ollie is growing weary of this little human that keeps taking his bones.



Until next month!!!
