Month 15

This week, J had his 15-month well-visit. He had 3 shots coming, plus a flu shot.

I asked the doctor if J would need a 2nd one (booster) since it'd be the first time he's getting the flu shot. The doctor said, No, he had two last year.

Me: What?! He did?! How do I not remember that?!

Seriously, how do I not remember that?!

Anyways, J's growth is steady. Still big. Still tall. But not above the 90th percentile anymore!

15 month
Height 32.25 in (quarter-inch longer than at 12 months) (75th percentile)
Weight 26 lbs, 14 oz (two lbs heavier than at 12 months) (75th percentile)
Head circumference 18.5 in (no change) (50-75th percentile)

At J's 9 month checkup, the doctor had suggested we call the Infants and Toddler's program in Maryland because J hadn't started crawling or using his pincer grip yet. We didn't call. At J's 12 month checkup, he had another evaluation of his gross motor, fine motor, communication, problem solving, and social skills. He scored well, so the doctor gave us no worries that time :).

This time, he suggested we call Infants and Toddler's because he's a bit behind walking. The daycare teachers say he's fine, he's a boy, and boys just tend to walk (and talk) later. But they'd be happy to host a visit from Infants and Toddlers if we want.

So we're going to schedule a visit, just to make sure. Funny thing is, he took a few steps toward me just two days ago. And my husband and I are "passing" him back and forth while he takes steps. And they practice a lot at daycare...so...I'm sure J's fine. Maybe he's just unsure or really likes to crawl and push his truck around.

When did your kids talk and walk?
We have nothing to worry about, right?
