15-month check-up

William went to his 15-month-old check-up yesterday, and as expected, everything looks good. His current stats are: 26 lbs. 10 oz. (about 80th percentile), 33 in. (about 90th percentile) with head circumference at the 50th percentile. We went over all the usual things, and his doctor noted (and we agree) that he is a spatially-oriented (or maybe more accurately a bodily-kinesthetic) child who needs to be active and on the move. In fact, I don't think he stood still the entire time we were in the room aside from when we had to hold him down for his shots (which he did not like). Lily, of course, wanted to see William get his shots and is looking forward to her appointment next week to get her vaccinations for Kindergarten! But overall, William is a healthy, happy little boy. We will continue to work on his eating habits and verbal skills. His current words include: all done, thank you, dada, mama, this, that, yeah, yay, uh-oh, choo-choo, duck, quack, moo, and more. Some of these words he has only said a few times, but again, we're working on it. Here are a few pictures of our little monkey right now:

Standing on the chair with sidewalk chalk in his mouth. He has also attempted to stand on the arm of this chair and reach out to the lamp next to it (just this very day, in fact).

When I opened the refrigerator to get his milk out, he decided to grab a couple of strawberries.
