Yesterday Markus had his 15 month check up at the pediatrician. He is now 33 1/8th inches tall and weighs 31 pounds. He's two inches taller than his last check-up but he is basically the same weight. This was okay as he was way off the scale last time, but now he's just off the scale. =)
Markus has been eating less, and is basically eating three meals a day (not including milk). He's running around and is now very fond of climbing! This is normal for toddlers as they are excited to be up and about, but is, of course, nerve-wracking for us!
Markus also got his MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) and HIB vaccine this time. The MMR might cause him to have a fever in a week, the pediatrician informed us, but we knew from our unfortunate friends who had to find this out the hard way with their son a few years back!
All in all, Markus is doing great. The doctor also gave us a dose of reality when she said next time we visit, we'll be bringing TWO kids! And she was right! YIKES! We're excited, but also nervous!

You sound like me...my son Maddox is 14 months, and climbs ALL over everything. I also know how you feel about the shots...my son always gets a fever and doesn't eat all that great, but after a few days he is up and rearing to go! I would love to keep up with your blog, I think we have lots in common!
