15 month check up

Friday, we took Noah to the doctor for his 15 month check up.

It was SO HOT in the doctor’s office (because it was in the 90s that day) that Noah decided to break out in a huge eczema rash just in time for his pediatrician to see. Fabulous! And his appointment was scheduled smack dab in the middle of his afternoon nap, so we had LOADS of fun.

See?

And we got two shots. :( But the doctor said that we are almost finished with our baby shots! Yippee! AND he has graduated from the rectal thermometer to the ear thermometer. I’m not going to lie, I was a little sad about that!

Noah weighed 24 lb 10 oz. He hasn’t gained much weight since his last well-baby appointment but he is still above average with his weight plus he’s been sick so we aren’t worried about it. He was 30 3/4 inches long with a head circumference of 19 1/4 inches. He is perfectly on track with everything except pointing to body parts. Parent fail.

We manic-ly started working on body parts this past weekend, but now every time we ask Noah where his nose is, he pats his mouth and says Wa Wa Wa like an Indian! I think he could do it if he wanted to, he just doesn’t care right now! That’s ok, we will get it!

In other Noah news, he is a baby of numerous words! He talks non-stop these days. He says bakkel (waffle), Daddy or Dada, Mommy or Mama, Beh (Bella), ball, cup, done, gone, outside (he says it three times in a whisper…so cute!!), no-no (everyone at school calls him No-No), car (when he sees keys), Pop, PawPaw, MiMi, Tay-Tay, cacka (cracker), pish (fish)….that’s all that I can think of right off. He will repeat almost anything!

We are still in size 3 diapers and wearing size 18 month clothing. He is the world’s pickiest eater. I’m totally getting payback because I was the same way. He will eat just about any fruit but that’s about as healthy as he gets. He LOVES crackers and waffles and he will usually eat at the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I send with him to school. But no veggies for him! I constantly struggle with getting him to eat healthy foods! He drinks mostly juice and some 2% milk (because of his stomach/constipation issues).

He has 12 teeth! Four on top, four on bottom and four molars!

He loves taking a bath (or baffie as we call it) and brushing his teeth. He also likes to play independently in his play room for short periods of time.

Noah is such a clown and the little social butterfly. I swear he knows more people at church than I do. He loves to show out in front of people by dancing or just being silly! I love that about him!

He is also 100% momma’s baby! And that is 100% ok with Mommy! :) We will play in the floor and then he will just walk right up to me and give me a huge slobbery kiss! I LOVE it!

I can’t believe how fast he is growing up. He is almost finished with his first year of preschool! I wish I could keep him little forever!

Noah, Mommy and Daddy love you SO MUCH! You keep us on our toes and give the sweetest sugar! I want to keep you small, but I love watching you grow and learn!
