Mack had his 15 month check up yesterday. So here are his stats:
Weight: 21lb 3 oz. 7th percentile
Height: 30in. 13th percentile
Head circumference: 18.25in 23rd percentile
We actually saw the pediatrician during this visit, and she agrees that he is small, but she is not worried about him at all. She even commented: "he's fine!" And Mack looked at her and said "I'm fine!" We both cracked up! After playing 'you can't catch me' around the room with Dr. Blache, her next comment was "Boy! You have yourself a little sport!" No kidding! It's pretty bad when your child makes the pediatrician sweat! Of course, Mack thought he was the most hilarious person.
He didn't even cry when he got his shots. I was surprised, and so was the nurse. He was so brave! Other than his weight, he checked out ahead of the game on everything else. I think he's going to be an early talker like Ellie, because this kid doesn't stop talking! Words he says regularly: Hey, no, thank you, love you, night night, outside (which was his first word, kid LOVES being outside!) mama, da (for daddy,) ball, shoes, car, paci, and apparently, "I'm fine."
He's a busy, busy boy that is a magnet for anything dangerous. He can have 10 safe, fun toys in front of him, and he will turn for the electric outlet or the scissors that were left out. Ahhhh! Getting back into the throws of toddlerhood! Nothing like the joys of parenting. The hard part this go round is having a 3 year old and a 6 year old (with an endless supply of energy) to keep up with as well! Mack has definitely been a game changer! He's so loving when he wants to be and loves hugs and blowing kisses. I don't know what we did before this sweet little monster came into our family!
"Ugh! Another picture?"
I have to take pictures of him in these cute little outfits! I know it won't be long before he will be too grown up to wear them! I could just eat him up!
Hard to get him still and facing the camera! This was after church a couple of weeks ago and he was over it and ready for lunch.
