Ethan's 15 month appt.

Well Ethan is 15 months. It was a very dramatic appointment. He absolutely hates for them to touch him since his hospital visit. The doctor said that is very normal and it will eventually get better. It was very bad. He cried about every little thing they did. I'm talking they measuring his head, length, checking his ears and mouth, he just did not like it.

He weighed 23.4 lbs and was 31 1/2 inches long. His head circumference was 47 1/2. His head was 18 at 9 months, so it has grown a good bit. Yes my son has a large head. LOL! He had 4 shots, including the flu shot. We were a little hesitant about the flu shot because it is combined with the H1N1 shot this year and we just feel there hasn't been enough research since it's a new vaccine; however our pediatrician talked us into it, especially since we are considering putting him in daycare. He is also a little behind on his speech, but more advanced in other areas so the pediatrician is not too worried. He has said several words such as: Dada, Mama, Nonna, Bye, Hey and Dog, but she doesn't count them because he doesn't say them on a regular basis. We are going to work more with him on his words, but she did say she feels daycare would really help his speech skiils.

Well, that's basically it. He is a healthy, happy and growing boy.

  1. Chandlers mom, Lisa, was talking about him the other day, she said he was really slow to talk and they kept telling her something was wrong but he is a GENIUS. Maybe he just doesn't want to talk, he probably has the vocabulary of a 20 year old and just amuses you and everyone else with what he wants you to hear :) He will talk when hes ready !! I'm thinking about putting Ava Claire at the Ivy League a couple of days a week for some interaction, she is only around adults and all of those folks give her anything she wants !
