15 Month Check Up 10/13/09

After 2 boosters and a flu shot, Decker is happy!

HIS STATS:
Height: 31 inches (50%)
Weight: 19 lbs 14 oz (3%)
Head Circumference: 46 cm (25%)
Teeth: He has 4 molars-2 up and 2 down, making 12 teeth total.

Some of the new things Decker has learned this last month:
Decker has learned to scribble. He started doing it on my birthday at Las Margaritas. He still likes to eat the crayon though.

He's started putting the phone up to his ear when he plays.
He is pointing at everything and starting to point at objects meanfully.
His favorite book lately, is MOG the Forgettful Cat. see youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmiYnEmFILo
This is Decker sitting in his BOOK BASKET. Of course he loves to empty his basket...all over the floor. :)

Words he says: "Mama" = mama
"dad" and "da da" = daddy
"mo" and "mum"-(mix between yum and more) = more
"mana" = banana
"tak u" = thank you
"key" = monkey
"Melmo" = Elmo
"Ma" = Mog
"Kiya" and "baba" = Grandma
"shiz" = shoes
"tutu" = turtle
"blows" = hot
Uh oh is hummed in the high low fashion.
He shakes his head "yes" and "no". Sometimes appropriately and sometimes not.


He folds his arms when we say prayers.

He can sign "milk" and "more"
He blows kisses.

He runs all over the place.


His favorite things to do that we say are "bad" are: climbing on the table, banging on the TV, banging our tall lamp against the wall. All of these actions will result in a time out. We put him in time out for 1 -2 minutes and when we go back to get him, he's shaking his finger. He knows he did something that was unacceptable.


When he gets frustrated, he clenches his fists and face.

He's figured our that you slide a debit/credit card in a machine.

He loves to hug you from behind when you're down on his level doing something. He has just gotten all around more openly affectionate on his own initiative.

Funny picture to find Mike in Decker's crib....I guess it's BOY TIME.

This was a fun pudding day.

Are you going to do the swine flu shot? I'm thinking of getting it for my kids. My mom got it yesterday.

I heard that this swine flu shot has mercuy in it. I could be wrong. Cute pictures. I loved the video. So cute.

Sarah, I don't want to give decker the swine flu shot--i think it's a little too risky...he just got a regular flu shot. I got my first flu shot too. Never had one of them before, and I rarely get sick.

Thanks Julie. It is nice to have a translation page for Thanksgiving, though by then he will be saying 20 more words that mean something else lol.
