Nolan at 15 months now weighs 25lbs, which is in the 55th percentile,  is 31.5″ tall which is in the 75th percentile, and his head is 48.7 centimeters, which is in the 85th percentile.  Speaking of how tall he is- did I mention that Nolan is over half my height already???  I’m only 61 inches tall and he’s already 31.5.  It won’t be long before he’s towering over me like my husband already is.  One of the produce workers at the grocery store always remembers Nolan and I when we go in- he’s a really friendly hispanic man about 5’5″ or so- he said his son is turning 18 next month and that he is 6’5″ and wears a size 15 shoe.  Woa!  I was trying to figure out where this short man got such a tall son!  That’ll be me soon enough.

I asked the pediatrician last when is a good time to get him “real” shoes.  He’s been in those soft-soled leather ones that are now recommended for proper foot development while they are first learning to walk.  She said as soon as soon as he is walking stable and getting around easily.  Hmmm….. He has recently begun running.

Guess that means he’s ready.  I had a pair that seemed perfect that had been given me- and they work great!  We’re still using the soft-soled shoes, but it’s nice for outdoor excursion or where the terrain is a bit rough to have these nice rubber-soled shoes.

Don’t let this picture fool you- he looks like he’s paying rapt *quiet* attention- I’m not sure how the camera captured such a photo.  Who’s kid is this anyway and what’s he doing on Nolan’s blog?  Lol.  He is learning to sit and flip through books for a few minutes at a time now which is super fantastic and I’m really proud of his progress.  He’s a sweetie pie.
