This morning we headed to the doctor for Mason's 15 month checkup.
22 lbs. 10 oz. (23%) - He jumped up 10% in weight in the last three months!
32.5" long (86%) - He jumped 8% in height in the last three months!
Head 18.8" (66%) - Big noggin'
Dr. Duffy was thrilled to see how much he had grown in the last few months!
He asked if Mason was starting to say a few more words like mom, dad, etc. When I told him he has started saying things like, "Right there, all done, upstairs, juice, outside, etc." his jaw dropped. I don't think he believed me at first so he asked Mason to say "all done." Mason didn't hesitate to respond and Dr. Duffy simply said, "Wow...he is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO ahead for his age." Mason then walked up to him and said, "Hi!" and then tried to say Duffy. He was so impressed with how friendly and social Mason is and told me that because he is so ahead socially that he probably won't get stranger danger...yikes!
I also noticed that on the paperwork they gave us it said that we should, "start to offer a fork or spoon when child is eating." I told Dr. Duffy that Mason only ever eats with a fork or spoon and won't touch his food without utensils...again he was shocked and said that his coordination is really good and that most babies can't correctly use a fork or spoon until they are 18 months old.
Mason still has a soft heart murmur, his belly button hernia is continuing to shrink and the dimple in his chest still hasn't caused any problems.
He handled his shots so well! He mostly cried because he didn't like the band-aids on his legs. He ripped them off the moment the nurse put them on! I stuck them back on because the last thing I wanted was blood on his pants. When we got home he pulled them off again so I gave up, but he is a happy boy so I don't care!
Overall, Mason is a very healthy, tall, skinny and ADVANCED little boy which makes for one proud mommy!
