Well, I've put this off for a while to make sure Bill's post stays toward the top, but it's time. We had Jake's 15 month appointment last tuesday. It was nice timing since he'd had a 102 fever for 2 days and his breathing was really worrying me. He weighs 25#8oz and is almost 32" long. The doc pronounced him heathy (other than his cold), growing normally, and above average intelligence. I couldn't wrangle a "brilliant" out of him, but it's still early. Dr. Budd was very impressed with all of Jake's words (20 as of that day - we've added quite a few more since) and signs (11 as of that day). Especially "buffalo" as Dr. Budd didn't even know that's what buffalo say!
Jake was put on pregnazone (sp?) for 5 days (and they were not 5 fun days) and he's back on the Singulair, but he's also breathing normally again. Whenever he gets a cold, it kicks up an asthma attack so we're going to have to be careful to keep him on the Singulair through cold and flu season and not expose him to anything that could trigger a flare.
I really need to take a few new pictures and post them, but we've just been hanging out lately. Last weekend we went and saw Renee and Fiona (who will be a great friend for Jake when he's old enough to defend himself against her ruthless friendliness). On Sunday we went to Southside park and played for over an hour. And still Jake cried when we went home. It was the first time he really "got" what a playground was all about and didn't want to leave. Not a fun thing to have him crying, but nice to know he enjoyed it so much!
A sample of the new words this week include: llama (said with tongue sticking out to get the "L" sound right), bear, flower, milk, and meow (he loved Geoff's cat, Bonkers).
