On Tuesday I took him to his 15 months wellness check up. He weighs 27 lb 12 oz (12 kg 500 g) and 33 inches (84 cm)tall. He also got his scheduled set of shots (DTaP, Prevnar, Hib). Oh, boy....He knows way too well what they do at the doctor's office. He SCREAMED every time the nurse opened her mouth, let alone approach or touch him. I wonder what he would think if he knew that his mommy was "one of them":)
Aaron is picking up a lot of new words both in Russian and in English. And our behavior too:)
He still loves books. The first thing he does when he wakes up, even before I have a chance to change his diaper, he runs to the box with books, picks one and runs back to me or sleeping Cliff with his demanding "Peeeeeeeeeeee" which is supposed to be "please" but I think he uses it more like "I want it NOW".:)
Now I even understand which book he wants to read next as he says something from the title of the book, like "Jaba" for "Kurochka Rjaba", or "Enot", or "Dadyj" for "Moj Dodyr" These are Russian books that his Babushka and Dedushka gave him. Usually Cliff reads him English books and I read him Russian books.
We are still having a mix of sleeping through and not-so-sleeping-through-the nights. He now has one molar and another one is well on its way which probably means more fussiness and awakenings at night...but we'll deal with it, because that's what parents do. You got to pay for those heavenly kisses and hugs and love from a child in some way. And it's a small price to pay.
I very much appreciate Cliff's patience in the middle of the night when Aaron was awake for 2-3 hours in a row crying. Thank you, Lord, for Cliff and Aaron!
