Baby X at 15 months.



Baby X went in for his 15 month check-up last Friday.

He is 33 1/4 inches tall.
Weighs 23 lb and 10 oz.
His head circumference is19 inches.

He's been fast on all of the big motor skills: rolling over, crawling, sitting up, standing, walking, climbing. But he's been slow on smaller motor skills: feeding himself with a spoon, waving, clapping.

His doctor thinks he'll be taller than Buddy. He jumped a ton in height since his 12 month check-up and is now in the 95% for height.

It's also very apparent to me that he'll have delayed speech like Buddy did. He's very expressive, but it's all just guttural noises and grunts with some consonants here and there. His doctor said after we move, when he's 18 months, then we should look into speech therapy or something, like we did with Buddy.

On a high note, he's finally started to return the signs we've been teaching him. He's been clapping for a long time now. And about a week ago he started waving regularly. And as of last week he knows the signs for please and more. And this week he's learned all done. He also now points to his nose when I ask him where his nose is. Hooray.
