15 month check up

At Romans 15 month check up he weighed in at 20 pounds (4th percentile) and measured 32.5 inches long (70th percentile). tall and skinny just like his dad! They did a blood test to check for anemia and he had to get three shots. He was such a trooper the entire time and only whimpered for a second during his shots. While the doctor was listening to his heart she picked up a murmur.. It was expected since Chase has a hole in his heart and my family doesn't have the next track record with heart health.. But it was still a little unnerving. She tried explaining it was probably benign and we most likely have nothing to worry about but if she can still hear it at his 18 month check up then we will go to a heart specialist and run some tests.
Other than that Roman is perfectly healthy. He is running around, getting into trouble, and copying everything you say. He can show you where his nose, belly, and mouth are. He knows a few animal noises but for the most part everything just says "ssssssss" like his pet snake. He is very good at sharing with others and when he feels like it he will even say please and thank you. Rome can use full sentences but he is a little hard to understand lol. He loves to play hide and go seek and is always excited when we leave the house.
Watching him learn and grow is the best experience we could have asked for. Chase and I are blessed to have such a sweet little boy. We love you Roman!
