15-Month Check-up and Never-ending Dr. Seuss

Tyler went for his 15-month check-up this morning.

In the last 3 months, he has grown almost 2 inches and is now 31 1/4 inches tall. His head circumference is 48.8 cm.

However, he LOST 4 ounces and now weighs only 22 pounds. We're going to see a nutritionist and a specialist who can help him learn to eat mushy foods.

He is in the 75th percentile for head circumference, the 50th percentile for height, and the 25th percentile for weight.

On the way to the doctor's office, Tyler got a little fussy. After several renditions of "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider," I tried to think of something else to "sing" to him. I ran through the alphabet song a few times and still needed something else.

One of his favorite books right now is a Dr. Seuss book, and so I tried to remember bits of it. Believe it or not, I have memorized the whole book from

"Big A, little a, what begins with A? Aunt Annie's alligator. A, a, A"

all the way to

"Big Z, little z, what begins with Z? A Zizzer-zazzer-zuzz, as you can plainly see."

And now, after reciting it at least 7 times, I can't get it out of my head!!!
