15-Month Checkup

Connor turned 15 months old on the 16th. We went to his scheduled check-up with the pediatrician and I was anxious to find out how much he weighed. Since he has been walking/running, he has slimmed down drastically. For example, take a look at a picture from this time last year compared to a few days ago...
When we went to the doctor's, we found out that he's lost a pound since his last check-up at 12 months and now only weighs 24lbs! He's grown a few inches though, and is now 32 inches tall. That puts him in the 44th percentile for weight and 77th for his height. Looks like he's going to be tall and thin like his dad.
While I enjoyed having a newborn, I'm now convinced that this is my favorite age thus far. Connor has such a funny personality. He's starting to talk a lot more and immitate us. So far, I think I've counted 20-25 different words he can say, but I feel like I can't keep up b/c he's learning every day!
Some of his favorites are "car", "truck", "tickle", "cracker", "grandpa", "grandma", "juice", "shoes", "eyes", "elmo", "duck", "book", "bubble", "baby", and of course, "mom" and "dad". He calls the toaster "pop" and the microwave "beep beep" - I guess b/c that's what they do. He loves to have an audience and will do anything from standing on his head to playing peekaboo to get a laugh. And then when you laugh, he laughs, which makes you laugh more and so on and so on. Jake and I feel so lucky to be his parents. I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything in the world - somedays I'd like a vacation, but all in all, it's the best!

I can't believe how big connor is getting. He does look really different now that he has thinned out more too! He's actually taller than Nate by an inch or two-I have a midget I tell ya! So do you know what you are having yet? How have you been feeling?
