Caleb’s 15 Month Stats

11/25/2008

Caleb had his 15 month checkup today and, despite his current cold, is a very healthy little boy. We were able to look in his mouth and he has his 4 upper and 4 lower teeth fully grown in (that he’s had for awhile) and is currently sprouting 2 bottom teeth on each side and one on his upper left. That’s 5 teeth coming in at once! The doctor said it’s rare that they get that many in at once. Poor little guy! His gums are all swollen, but since the teeth have all broken through, Caleb has enjoyed grinding his teeth while walking around the house. Such a pleasant sound!
And get this, since his 12 month checkup he’s gained less than a pound, but he’s grown a little over 2.5 inches! So, we have a tall, skinny kid here.
Here are the 12 month & current 15 month stats for comparison.
Last Checkup (12 month):
Weight: 20 pounds, 5.5 ounces (15th percentile)
