Chasing Carter...: 15-months-old

Carter turned 15-months-old on Tuesday -- we can't believe how quickly he is growing up! This morning we went to visit Dr. Dirks for his check-up and our suspicions were confirmed: Carter is a big boy! Here are his stats:

Weight: 26 lbs. 9 oz. - 77.20%
Height: 2 ft. 9.25 in. - 95.45%
Head: 19 in. - 80.77%

Dr. Dirks said that it is too early to determine if Carter will always be so tall. Apparently you can double what their height is at age 2 and that will come pretty close to determining what their adult height will be. We have a feeling he has inherited the Maloney height! Overall, Carter received a clean bill of health and did a great job with the 3 shots he received.

Some highlights of what our 15-month-old is up to:

Carter is very chatty and will repeat anything we say.
He never really sits still -- unless he's sleeping. Even when he is in his highchair or on our laps when we're reading books, there is at least one limb in constant motion -- usually a swinging leg.
He is about 1-month into part-time daycare and has finally adjusted to being away from Mom.
Carter's favorite words right now are "no" and "naughty" -- probably because those are the words he has been hearing a lot lately.
He loves to throw his toys under the couch/chair/table, lay on his belly to look at it and say "uh oh".
Carter seems to eat nonstop -- some of his favorites are yogurt, sweet potatoes, goldfish and pasta.
He's down to one nap/day but that nap is usually a solid 2.5-3 hours!
He continues to flood the bathroom everytime he takes a bath -- Kyle and I are usually soaking wet due to the crazy splashing.
Carter's sense of humor is really starting to show -- he loves to be goofy and make us laugh. (refer to picture at the bottom of this post)

The list could go on and on. It will be fun to see how it will change and evolve over the coming months and years, as he seems to be doing new things everyday!
