Zachary....the Over Achiever!

Zach had to go for his 15 month check up today (thank goodness for Saturday office hours!!). We got to see Dr. Riikola, and he was very impressed with Zach's size and development. He currently weighs 29.1 lbs. and is 32.5 inches tall. But that's not the surprising part: when the good doctor asked if Zach could say any words, he was stunned to hear Zach's vast vocabulary! He admired Zach's walking skills as well. As a matter of fact, Dr. Riikola was so impressed that he told us Zach's 18-month appointment is not necessary! He said that Zach is already doing now what 18-month-olds are expected to do! We will have to go back for a flu shot, but he suggested combining his 18- and 24-month appointments and come back around 22-23 months. He said (and I quote) "you can do that when you have an exceptional child!" That definitely works for me....Baby #2 will be here by then!! (And I always knew my child was exceptional!!)
