24 lbs 14 oz (he only gained 2 oz in the past 3 months)
33 inches long
Everything checked out a-ok, except he is pretty far behind in his speech. The doctor said that JT should be saying 20-25 words that strangers can understand. We think JT only has 6-8 words that strangers can understand. The doctor recommended a speech therapist if we are concerned about JT not speaking.
On one hand, it would be nicer if JT could speak instead of pointing and whining. On the other hand, I am sure once he starts talking he will pick it up fast. Hopefully in the next month JT will at least say ONE clear word other than Elmo.

nope, he doesn't say mom, dad, grandma or grandpa.
he can point to pictures and pick us out.
this is the order of how we rank:
1. grandpa
2. me
3. aya
4. grandma
hmmmm... let's see, 6-8 words that strangers can understand? well, that's more words than his mumbling father!! hahahahaha. i think that's very good considering he has to listen to his marble-mouthed dad all day long!! hahahaha
eff-
that is why I communicate with JT by sign language, dancing and figure pointing....usually when i do my victory dance when i win in basketball.
oh jeff. that's a gooooood one. high five.
