Well, Spencey got two things yesterday – an antibiotic and new shoes!  Both are very welcome!  We took Spencer for his 15 month checkup yesterday and, aside from the congestion and double (!) ear infection, he looks great.  Since Robert and I both had the day off work, we all 4 went together for a little family fun!  Trying to entertain your kids while waiting in a doctor’s office is pretty miserable so when I say fun I mean not fun at all.  But, we were together!

Maxwell also brought his doctor kit and was giving Dad a check-up while waiting for Dr. Walley to come in!  🙂

Spencer is 25 lbs, 11 oz (90th %) and 32 inches tall (95th-98th %)!  I knew he was tall!  Comparison – Maxwell was 23 lbs, 31 inches tall at 15 months and 25 lbs, 33 inches tall at 18 months.  So, at 15 months, Spencer is basically the size Maxwell was at 18 months.

The only thing we need to start working on is Spencer’s vocabulary.  He sort of says Dada right now and that’s his only word.  He definitely needs to have more words by his 18 month appointment so we need to get that paci out of his mouth and get him talking!

After the doctor visit we grabbed lunch and then thought Spencey needed to go get his first pair of new shoes!  He’s been wearing his brother’s hand-me-downs for months (poor second child).  We headed over to Sikes and got him outfitted in some grey New Balances!

They make his feet look so big.  They’re a 5.5 wide so he’s got plenty of growing room which is good.

Exciting stuff!  Here’s Maxwell’s first trip to Sikes – he ended up with some grey New Balance as well.  Can’t go wrong with a classic.

Hope you all had a good day off!
