Yesterday we went to Corbin's 15 month check up. I want to put this down for my memory! He weighed 24lbs 2oz (right below 50th %) and was 32 1/4 inches long (75th%).
Dr. K says that he is doing great and that his tantrums are very normal for this age (that was good to hear form the dr.). He said he advises that as long as he's safe (not going to hurt himself on something) just to ignore him because at this age any attention makes them think "heyy mom thinks this is cool". Well, Momma does not think tantrums are cool (throwing yourself on the floor kicking and screaming isn't really fun for momma) so we're going to try ignoring you and pray they go away!
Corbin is so funny- like I said before some people he could care less about and other people he seems to love, well Dr. K stood up and and Corbin lifted his arms and wanted him to pick him up! It was pretty funny since I had just got done saying that he's not a huge people person.
I knew he was doing well, but it's always nice to be reassured by the dr. :)

I agree...makes us feel better to hear someone else say it. :) I DO well child visits as part of my job yet I still take my girls every year for their check ups.
I love all of the mud pictures of your boys! I get to live vicariously through them since this K household may never have boys!;)
Thank you for the sweet comments on my blog!
Glad the appointment went well (and that the tantrums we are both experiencing are normal). haha!
Have a great weekend!!
Hang in there Mamma! I am not looking forward to those tough things!! Now the mud...I can handle! Much easier than tantrums. lol :)
I have been meaning to send you a message back! We do the same - just let him cry it out if we know that he's safe. I read in some parenting magazine that if your child is throwing a tantrum, it is okay to make a statement acknowledging his feelings, if you're afraid of him thinking he is being ignored. Just don't give in or expect to try to reason with a toddler. Example: "Theo, I realize you are frustrated because you can't go outside, but you just took a bath and we are going to eat dinner soon." And then we stop talking about it. So he knows that we heard him, but he also knows that we are providing a reason why he can't do what he wants. I am sure you are doing the best you can, and C will be just fine :-)
