Luke's 15 month Check up

So, we had to check back with the doctor at 15 months because he was a little concerned last time that Lucas wasn't walking or talking so much yet. (I think a lot of us moms of boys know they can be a little slower, especially in the talking department.) Well, the doctor was happy with his progress as he is now cruising on the furniture, climbing everything, walking while holding onto a hand, saying a few words and babbling a lot. He also began eatting with a spoon and fork. Or trying to with minimal success at least. As far as stats go, he was 24 lbs, 9 oz and 331/2 inches. It's so funny, because I look back at Lucas and compare him to James, wondering if I have stiffled him a bit. James never wanted to be held and barely sat still. He was always eager to be independant and grow. He was walking at about 10-11 months and never wanted to nurse or have a bottle beyond a year. Lucas has always loved being the baby and loved being held. I enjoyed his cuddly nature so much maybe I babied him a little too much? Oh, well. I am sure by the time he goes out into the real world he will be walking and talking. Could you really blame me for holding on to him a little longer than I should have? I'm soaking up all the love I can in these precious years with my little men!
