Fabulous at Fifteen

We had our fabulous 15 month well-check appointment today!!! Despite the fact that the appointment fell right at nap time, Maddox did great! He did have to get 2 shots, but we will take 2 shots over 6 any day!!! Everything looked great, he is a growing, happy, healthy boy and for that alone we have so much to be thankful for!!
Stats:
Height- 32 3/4inches (95th percentile)
Weight-27lbs 12oz (85th percentile)
Head Circumference-20 (over the 97th percentile...hahha...always cracks me up)

So from the last visit until now, Maddox has gotten taller and not much heavier!! I'm not sure how he would be able to get much heavier...he runs all day long and I think God knows I'm running out of strength in my arms to lung him around (hahha, joking...well, sort of)

As most of you know, our son is a man of few words and loves to point, grunt and use his sign language over actual speech. The doctor is not at all concerned about this because he knows what we are saying and uses his signs for communication. However, for my own memory I will make a list of the words he can say and/or sign at 15 months:

Says:
Cracker
Momma
Dadda
Ice
Dog
Yogurt
Drink

Signs:
Bath
Please
Thank You
Eat
More
Kisses
Dadda
Hat
Momma

At 15 months Maddox takes an hour morning nap and an 1-2 hour afternoon nap (he is just not ready to eliminate that morning nap yet) He eats what we eat for the most part, he still cannot tolerate any dairy so we have to be careful, but it is so easy to find soy products these days. He loves any fruit and is doing better eating meat. He has 10 teeth and working on number 11 (the last molar) He runs and plays all day long and is constantly into everything, thus keeping me on my toes!!! I really enjoy this age, he is so much fun (although, the temper tantrums are in full effect at times, I am hoping I can continue to stay strong and discipline and guide him into a fun loving little man!!!)
