owen just had his 15 month check up. he's still a little little man, but at least he is growing. he's in the 11th percentile in length and is still trying to get on the charts in weight. it's kind of amazing that he's so little because he eats ALL the time.

he doesn't talk yet. he has a few choice words, but nothing really new. he definitely knows what he wants (or doesn't want) and can convey that to you. lately, he has just been very clingy. always wanting to be picked up and carried around. it breaks my heart when i put him down and he just throws a fit because all he wanted was for me to hold him. rarely do i resist the urge to pick him up and hug him tight instead of letting him cry it out to teach him that crying is not how you get your way. and how can you resist? he's just so sweet when he pats your back as he buries his head into your shoulder.

i can't believe he's going to be a big brother...
