15 Months - Maxwell

Maxwell turned 15 months old yesterday! He was able to delay his 15 month checkup by one day, but inevitably he had to go to the doctor, and he was not too happy about it. The minute the nurse walked out he froze refusing to walk into the office himself. He then screamed for every little thing - getting measured, getting weighed, having his ears checked...the list goes on and on. He came in at 26 pounds 9 ounces (92%) and 30.75 inches (33%). He is finally crawling back up the growth chart, and the nurse even said she probably could have squeezes another quarter inch out of him, but she didn't want to make him too angry. His head measured in at 50cm (99%) so his brains just keep on growing too! Everything else checked out well, and Dr. Hagerman managed to get the tiniest smile out of Max when he pulled out his glitter balls to juggle. He is starting to use words saying dup/bop for up, mama, dada, Dy for Ryan, and he imitates multiple things. He still uses signs for more, eat, all done, milk, and thank you. He also shakes his head yes and no, with no seeming to be the favored direction. We ended the visit with two vaccines which left Max in a blubbering mess. He survived though and won't have to go back for three more months, unless he manages to get himself into trouble.
