15 month checkup...
Dear Nicky,
This morning we went to the docs for your 15 month checkup. You, me, Mom, and Junie all went together, because Mom and I wanted to do a weight check on Junie, just to make sure she was gaining all right, which she is. Your weight was 23 pounds, 5 ounces, up a solid pound from your 12 month physical. I think the nurse didn't get your height accurately, so we'll check that ourselves when we can. Anyway, all seems well, especially with your ear tubes, which make your ears nice and dry. You got some more shots, which made you cry but your recovery is always impressive. You're all heart, my little friend. Tonight we gave you the last of the antibiotic drops you're supposed to get in your ears, so that's one less thing. Monday will be the last of your oral antibiotic, which you've been getting for your chronically snotty right nostril. I hope it finally knocks it out. This antibiotic also has the side effect of giving you gooey pasty gigantic bowel movements, so it'll be nice on many levels when you're finished with it. Yesterday we went to the first class in the Stones summer session. We go once a week for an hour, and in that time you receive attention from all three therapists. I hope it's effective. There's only three kids in the class, you and two of your pals. After that we went to New Providence to help Mom's decorators decide on a bunch of stuff. I toted your sleeping little body around for over an hour, sweating embarrassingly, but I loved it because you're my boy. But today my arms are sore. You're quite a workout!
Love,
Dad

Nicholas, I'm sure, will grow to be the most magnificient little boy as he is clearly basking in love and support.
Good luck to you and your family and may your new home be filled with happiness.
