Nate Mumbo Jumbo

So, my little, yet big Nate-dog had his 15 month check up on Tuesday. Nate, my friends, is growing wonderfully. He is a whopping 33 inches tall and weighs 27 lbs. This puts him in the 90-95th percentile for height, and 75-90th percentile for weight. I must say, he has caught up quite nicely. Grace was 21 inches long at birth while Nate was only 18 1/2 inches at birth. Now, Grace is only 8 inches taller than him!! And she's 4! Well, his growth is actually slowing down at this point. I read somewhere online that girls and boys both are about the same height at 15 months while boys will be slighty heavier than the girls. On average, at 15 months they will stand at about 31 inches. By age 2, they will be about 33 inches and 27-28 lbs. Well, it seems that my three week early (any earlier and he would have been technically considered premature) child has the body of a 2 year old. Now, if only we could get him to talk like one..............

He is vigorously working on his vocab. He is trying to say more things, such as: That, More, Cup, Book. However, these are still a work in progress, but the dr said as long as he is using specific words or sounds for words for specific things, then he is grasping the whole vocab concept. He says dat for that, bah for ball, mah for more, cupakah for cup, at ah for uh oh, and bookabook for book. He says nigh nigh for night night and he can say bye bye. He says ah dah for all done, while he does his own version of the sign language for all done as well. He also does the sign for more. And he says ba ba for his bottle. And that I think is the entire Nate vocab as of now. But stay tuned and don't change the channel, as another vocab update will probably follow again soon.
