We went to see Dr. Price today for Brian's 15 month check up. Brian's new measurements are as follows:
Head: 18 3/4 inches -- 80-90th percentile
Weight: 25 lbs 4 oz -- 60th percentile
Height: 33 1/2 inches -- above 95th percentile
Dr. Price was impressed with Brian's vocabulary -- about 30 words/phrases. He said that 20-50 words is good for an 18 month old, so Brian is well above the norm. He was also pleased that Brian is eating more foods, walking, running, climbing, following multi-step directions, and building with blocks.
He said he's "advanced and huge." But we already knew that, right? ;)
Dr. Price also said that if Brian keeps growing at the rate he has been, he should be 6'3" no problem. My little guy is going to be a tall man someday!
Oh and he said to expect an increase in Brian's want to do things BY HIMSELF. Really? Do we need to increase that? I can do without it thank you very much.
Anyway, no worries from the pediatrician -- always a relief. The 15 month hearing test is next Monday, which equals crazy stress levels for Mama Maria. Say lots of prayers!
