15 Month Check-up

Ponch and Jon

Apparently, the only requirement for this toy

is that your mouth must be wide open!

They might fight like cats and dogs, but these boys do love each other!

Even though Jake is now almost 16 months old, we just went yesterday for our 15 month check-up. I have to admit, this round of shots wasn't nearly as bad as the others, thank goodness! The check-up went well. Jake weighs 26 lbs 5 oz (65%), which is down 2 oz from last week, and is 33.75 in tall (97%). Dr. Dudgeon likes giving me a hard time asking where Jake is getting this height from. I told him imagine how much taller Jake would be if his bow-legs would straighten out...that would give him at least another 2 inches! :) We did actually address the severity of Jake's "intoeing" as it's called; Tyson pointed out that Jake's right foot turns in so much that he's actually tripping on it. Unfortunately for Jake, he has not only 1 bone that is turned in (like most people), but he has 2! It's so bad that his right foot can be completely turned 180 degrees and face backwards. Anyways, one of the bones usually starts to improve from 18 months-2 years, and the other doesn't improve until age 5-7. So, we are just gonna watch his "intoeing" until age 2 and then reassess. I personally doesn't see anything wrong with a little bow-leggedness (is that a word?)...haha. Dr. Dudgeon also pointed out that Jake seems to have a lot of teeth coming in. Right now, he has his top front four, bottom front three, and one molar, so it wouldn't hurt to have a few more!

Sorry for the picture overload lately. The weather has just been so beautiful and the lighting has been perfect for pictures. Plus, my camera seems to be in love with a blonde haired, brown-eyed little boy! Enjoy the pictures!
