15 Month Check Up

Today Christopher had his 15 month checkup with his doctor. Our boy is healthy and growing strong.He weighs 20.4 pounds and is 30 inches long. He gained 2 pounds since April. The Dr was very happy about his weigh gain. He was such a trooper today he got three shots. My heart just broke for him, but I know that he needs them to grown strong. There are some issues that we need to watch over the next 3 months. One is Christopher's thyroid , his blood results showed a little problem. We have to go for more blood work next week. I am not looking forward to that. Also Christopher should be saying more words than he is. I thought he should but then I thought it was the teacher in me and I was expecting to much of him. I thought it could be from him being in a Spanish speaking house for 11 months the doctor agrees with me. So we are going to give him 3 months to show improvement. If there is not improvement he will need to see a speech therapist. I am sure our little guy will be just fine after all he is our shining star.
