15 months old!

The kids are officially 15 months old and doing well. They had their check up yesterday and for the first time, I took both kids by myself since John's traveling. He's always wanted to be there for their check ups and I suspect he would have been there this time if he could have. But that's okay. We did okay by ourselves. They were a handful though. They always have me with two nurses when we go (one nurse for each kid), so they helped me strip the kids down to weigh and measure them. Then they left me in the room with two very curious and mobile kids until the doctor came in. I'm very shocked the office didn't have cabinet locks since it's a pediatric office. I was chacing those kids out of cabinets the entire time. They loved the rolls of paper that cover the table too. Our pedi even had to help get Jake out once. I love our pedi. He's so calm about everything, but also takes time to reassure you when you need it too. I had the last appointment of the day so he chatted for a bit...I actually got him going on a hot topic. Vaccinations. Do you vaccinate or not, spread the shots out or not? This has been a HUGE topic in my mom's group the past several weeks. Anyway, I guess a lot of people have been asking the doc these same questions the past few weeks and it's really starting to concern him. He strongly believes you should vaccinate and it doesn't effect the child to get all the shots at once or spread out. All spreading them out does is put your child at a higher risk of catching things until he's vaccinated. He's such a calm guy that it was funny to see him so hot about this.
Anyway, the kids are doing well. He wants Jake to get evaluated by ECI though for a speech/communication delay. He's only about 2 months behind right now and if you figure in the fact he was a month early, he's really only a month behind. But the doc wants to work on that now, vs. later as it will be much harder for him to catch up. He also hit the 20 lbs mark. Right on the dot! He's taller than Abby now by 1/4". 30-1/2". Abby was 20 lbs 4 oz and 30-1/4". When John gets back, we'll finally flip our car seats around so they're both facing forward. Yippee!
