Our little kid had his 15-month appointment today and is very healthy, as usual (thank heavens). He is now 33" (95th percentile) and 28 lbs, 6 oz (85th percentile). The Daddy is quite proud that his son now weighs "two stones."
The new pediatrician isn't concerned about his lack of walking or the size of his noggin, either. She says he is strong enough to walk independently and will just do it when he feels like it. She also says that he's a big kid, so it's normal for him to have a big head. The funny thing is, while she was saying all this, the kidlet was just staring at her like, "what do you mean, 'big?'"
But here's the real "funny": when we were taking him out to the car on the way to the appointment, the Daddy was complaining about all the baby sundries and library books he had to carry. I replied, "Well, all of those things together don't weigh as much as he (the kidlet) does." The kiddo looked right at his mommy and said, "HUSH."
Priceless.

Isn't it amazing how often they seem to know exactly what we say. It is definately icing on the cake when their responses fit in the conversation!! So cute. I love my big baby too!
Get used to it, Mom & Dad. Little ones are always totally candid. If it's on their mind, it's on their lips.
