Pleasantly Surprised! {15 mo. check up}

Okay, I'll admit. I was VERY nervous going into yesterday's check up. Collins has become extremely active and strong willed. He does what he wants when he wants {is this normal, people?!?!} and he has merged into the temper tantrum phase....maybe a lil early?!?! We are walking away, ignoring, and then loving on him after these little fits, but whew, we are worn out!

90% of the time he is such a great baby. He still sleeps 12 hours at night, takes two naps, and eats us out of the house. He LOVES his daddy and will give me kisses when he 'wants' to. :) He is a healthy boy and for that we are so thankful. Praise the Lord!

....so now....I feel bad for totally underestimating how the appt. would go!!

He did AWESOME!!! He never threw a fit and when the shots were over, we cuddled and within 10 seconds he was back on his feet waddling around.

Here's his stats!

Length: 32 1/2- 85th percentile...up from 31 1/2 at 12 mo. appt.
Weight: 26 lbs and 4 oz.- 75th percentile....up from 24 lbs. at 12 mo. appt.
Head: 48 1/2 -82nd percentile....head stayed the same!

What is Collins doing now???
