15 Months Old

Happy 15 month birthday, Colin! Today was marked mostly by the trip to the pediatrician and more shots. Always a prelude to a sleepy day for our boy! The opening conversation with the pediatrician was similar to the ones I seem to have with parents of toddlers:

"So, he's really tall."

"Yeah, gets it from his Dad."

"Wow, so how tall's his dad?"

Sometimes I think they wonder if Matt is like Yao Ming.

Colin is definitely showing his adventurous toddler side -- a little too adventurous at times. We were doing nursery duty on Sunday and Colin crawled up on the table during snack time while I was looking away. The children's ministry leader walked by and asked I remove the child from the table..., "Oh, that one's mine...sorry!"

I was reading an article about 4 general types of toddlers -- wallflowers, spitfires, zen lovers, and explorers. He's definitely an explorer, so the pediatrician warned today to do even more childproofing, as this adventurous side will be prone to lead him to more accidents than others his age. Fortunately, other than a few small tumbles at the playground, we haven't yet had any big uh-oh's!
