Spencer the Slow-Growing Boy

We had Spencer's 15-month checkup the other day.  I always hate it when they give our babies shots but thankfully Spencer only cries for a few minutes until I can pick him up and snuggle him. The doctor commented on how he sure doesn't like to grow very fast, but still is growing so he is not concerned!


Spencer is....
32 inches Tall (77.6 percentile... up 1 inch since his 12 month visit)
and
21.21 lbs (9.3 percentile... up 1% since his 12 month visit!)


He sure is a joy to have around.  He is finally starting to walk, but only for a few steps until he realizes that crawling is much faster.  He is very curious about how everything works and usually he can figure stuff out.  He is pushing our chairs from our tables over to our island so he can get the stuff up on the counter.  He loves to play with balls.  He loves Elmo and Barney.  He also loves his older brother and sister, but can hold his ground if they try to push him around too much.

He is still allergic to milk - though we're still hoping he'll out grow of that.  We have found that a little bit of butter and a little cheese usually will not bother him.   I did finally shave his head and I have to admit I miss his hair, but I know it will grow back.  We sure love this little boy!
