15 months

Dominic turned 15 months on Sunday. He went for his check up at the doctor today. He is still a little pipsqueak at 18lbs 9.6oz (3rd percentile), is 30 inches tall (20th percentile) and his head is 46 cm (25th percentile). Dominic has accomplished a lot over the past month or two. To name a few, he has perfected his waving skills for hello and good-bye (think more beauty queen in a parade instead of awkward finger motions), blows kisses, can identify several body parts including his ears, nose, hair, feet, and belly. Not only has he started doing the "ch" for cheese, but also does the "sh" for shoes, which the doctor told me today does technically count as two words at this stage. He can tell you that the cow says "Moo" and according to him, a sheep says "aaahhh." Dominic does peek-a-boo himself instead of just having Mommy do it to him. And, although it is Mommy's least favorite new trick, he can now climb up the stairs standing up (holding on of course) instead of just crawling up.
