Brady's 15 month
checkup was this morning. The big guy is 33 ½ inches tall and 21 lbs
10 oz. The great news is, Dr. Haney is very pleased and no longer
concerned about his weight. Whew! He's still long and lean, but
looking chunky (for Brady). The REALLY great news is, Dr. Haney got
Brady to WALK! :) 5 steps from her to me and completely by himself.
Brady is much more aware of the fact that “we are at the doctor's
office” and “they normally stick me”, so he got super sensitive
once we were in the room. He wanted Mr. Bear, his thumb, me, and no
one else touching him. He cried when the nurse and Dr. Haney checked
him out, so when she took him he was upset and wanted me back bad
enough to walk to me :) She said he's perfect and will walk once he
has the confidence. She said his need to hold on is a 'security
thing'. Makes sense.. stuffed animal obsessed, thumb sucker and
all :)
I was nervous that
once I got him home he'd be all comfortable again and only want to
crawl, but I've already gotten him to do it twice by myself. I'm
excited for Eric to get home so we can try some more and hopefully
get a video. Brady's expression is the best. Half shock, half pride.
And I'm busy screaming and clapping. I'm sure it's quite a sight!
We just got back
from our family vacation in Florida. It was a WONDERFUL week. Eric
needed the time off of work and away from the stress. He couldn't
remember the last time he had a vacation. Literally! Brady did so
well even though we were completely off schedule and out of our
element. He was very go with the flow. It was a LOT of work, but
worth it to see his cute little tush on the beach and splashing in
the pool. He even called my Dad “Pawpaw” a few times. Eric got to
deep sea fish and ride a wave runner. I got plenty of time laying out
and a tattoo! We are already planning our next trip back :)
We are so thrilled that our friends Patti and Mike live so close to where we stay. We were able to spend a lot of time with them through the week <3
