15-months

I went to my 15-month old check-up the other day. I have a new doctor and he's a pretty funny guy. When he first saw my name, he said he hoped he didn't have to give me a shot because with that name he wouldn't want to mess with me. Too bad he gave me one anyway, but this time it was on my arm and I didn't even cry. And I got a Spiderman band-aid.

My health report card was stellar. I am strong, active, chatty and affectionate. He said I am in a comprehension phase, and Mama and Dada will be astounded by the things I am beginning to understand (tell me about it, sometimes they are shocked at what I know). I am starting to like books for more than just something to nibble on. I have a mouthful of teeth, which has been causing me to pull on my ear a bit, but my ears look perfect inside. Also because of my teeth, the doctor suggested I start drinking milk out of a cup - I do NOT like this idea.

I weigh 24 lbs 4 oz and am in the 75th percentile for weight. My length is 31 and 1/4 inches - 50th percentile. So I like to eat, what of it?
