15 months.

last friday lane had is 15 month check up. how is that even possible? my little baby isn't that old! but oh he is and he is willing to let us know everyday. everyday he learns something new and just has this "air" about him as being older.
...
he grew THREE inches in THREE months! no wonder none of his pants from last spring come close to even fitting. they are all a few inches off the ground. he is 97% for height and 52% for weight. long and lean just like his papa. oh yeah, he takes after his mama's big head at a whooping 90% for his age. :)
...
the appointment went well, lane was proud to show the doctor a few tricks and sat still the whole time she examined him. she said he is getting ALL four of his one year molars in RIGHT NOW. no wonder we've had some tough moments lately (i want to blame the melt downs on molars). he got one vaccine...the mmr. we choose not to do the other ones for a few reasons and the dr supported our decision.
...
lane and i treated ourselves to jamba juice (he even got his own baby smoothie) and jamba juice oatmeal...my favorite ever. little did we know, this was the highlight of our day/weekend.
...
when lane woke up from his nap friday he was BURNING UP! SO HOT! the dr said he was having a bad reaction to the vaccine. i put him in a cool bath tub and hoped that would take the edge off. this was just the start to the 48hours of temperatures from 103 to 104 (give or take both ways) lane was miserable. i know its just a fever but it was still so scary. the dr said if it goes higher than 104, go to the emergency room. so...we headed there, talking to the dr on the phone late at night. she said, you don't have to go right then just DON'T let it get to 105. so we sat all night fearing that he was getting more and more hot. do you go when its 104.7 or when it is 105? these questions played through our minds over and over. thankfully, we never had to go to the e.r.
...
we loved how cuddly lane was. loved how much he needed us. all he wanted to do was sit on our laps, be held, sleep in our arms, sleep in between us. but we knew this wasn't lane. this wasn't our little boy. we desperately wanted our little guy back and today (monday) he woke up and ate and played and smiled and we love him SO much!
