This reminded me that I didn’t post about Alex’s 15 month appointment the other day! He’s 24 lbs. 11 oz. and 31 inches long, which about 50th percentile. The doctor asked if he was walking and climbing and going all over the place. I told him he wasn’t walking yet. I said that he was just taking 3 or 4 steps here or there. He said well that’s walking:-) I was like well he’s not walking across the room yet. He said not to worry and that he’ll be walking very soon. I guess he could tell by the look on my face that I was concerned, which I am! All of these other toddlers have been walking for months and mine is just so scared! He’s definitely not a risk taker! As soon as he starts to take more than 3 or 4 steps and he feels himself losing his balance he just sits down! Arg! Now climbing…that’s another story. He’s climbing on everything!!!! Chairs, stairs, the couch! He is so proud of himself too!
Drew walked at 14 months and was not an avid climber. Drew also had a huge repertoire of words by this age (if I remember correctly)! I’ll need to go check his book and see. People always ask if I notice big difference between my 2 kids. I’ve had a hard time figuring out that out, but I guess those would count. Huh? They’re temperaments…now that I can’t figure out yet. We’ll just have to see.
