Joshua's 15 month check-up

I can't believe he is already 15 months old!!! And he is cute as can be. This boy eats anything, but his favorites are pickles and hummus. He runs everywhere and loves to play with his older siblings. He also loves when he hears the bus come to drop off Kimmie. He just screams and points to the window, it's very sweet. 
He still does not talk very much, but recently has begun saying "dada" more. But, he is super good at letting you know what he wants, he just points and grunts until you get it. He also loves to do animal sounds, he does a great Kitty and Piggy is my favorite, he snorts ) We also does sheep and doggy. He loves to wave and is a very social little boy.

Here are his stats:
Weight: 23lbs 9oz (50th percentile)
Height: 31 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circumference: 19 1/2 inches (98th percentile)
Overall he is growing right on track and doing great. Notice his head is off the charts big, well that makes him a little more wobbly than normal and in 10 days we went to the ER twice for eye injuries as a result of falling over. Silly boy, we need to get him a helmet!
On the way home from the second trip. The first cut from a week earlier was just above this one and had just healed before he hurt himself again. The first time he fell and bumped it on the train table while he was playing. This time he was walking in our bedroom and just fell, but when he fell he hit his eye on the metal bed frame splitting it open. It was bleeding a lot, and I have to admit I was in a little bit of a panic when I saw the blood spraying out. Luckily it has healed well and he just has two little scars. He also had some irritation in his ear, so they put some medicine in it, which explains the cotton ball in his ear.
