15mth Checkup

Last weekend I had to buy Liam all new clothes. He out grew everything. I had to laugh when Dr. Lockhart told me that Liam was now the average size of a 21mths old. He's currently the 99% for his height, but still the 30% for his weight. Tall and skinny just like his Daddy.

Liam also meet all of his milestones which are 5 words other than mommy and daddy, squatting and recovery, climbing, and throwing overhand. As the nurse was going over the milestones, Liam climbed up the window ledge so that he could get a better look outside and started waving saying "hi car", "bye car", "bird", "water","oh baby, hi baby". Five words, yeah we got that.

We discussed Liam getting the chicken poxs, climbing out of the crib, and starting whole milk this past week. Dr. Lockhart wanted to make sure we were brushing his teeth everyday. I asked if she could also looked at his molars. They look really really gross. They have split the gum and the capillaries in his mouth, so there is blood dripping in the back of his mouth. He looks like a vampire who is getting his fangs in. Dr. Lockhart said that its not very common, has seen it once or twice, but is still in the normal range. Once the tooth pushes up the skin flaps will heal around the molar and the capillaries will recede back into the gums.

Liam also got two shoots. I was very surprised that he screamed. The last two visits he hasn't made a peep. The nurse gave him a sticker, which he loved, and a lollipop. At first he didn't know what to do with the lollipop but once we put it in his mouth, he was so happy. I wanted to take a pic but he finished it before we even made it home. Bummer.
