It's hard to believe the one year milestone is gone and he's already at 15 months old! That seems crazy to me. He is on the go and all over the place! Sweet and stubborn! He is so much fun but takes so much energy. When I picked him up from worship care after church the other Sunday, the worker said, "I don't know how you keep up with him, he's all over the place!" That pretty much sums it up! He keeps lots of bumps and bruises from all of his escapades climbing and running (and falling). He's pretty tough, though, and keeps on going a lot of the time. He's gotten really good at "brushing it off".
When he went in for his 15 month well check, he weighed 27 pounds, 7 ounces (86th %ile) and was 33.75 inches long (99th %ile). He's very proportioned, though, since his BMI is 40th %ile. He wears 2T tops and 18 month shorts/pants, size 4 diapers during the day and 5's at night, and size 5 shoes.
When I was filling out his developmental screening, it occurred to me that he has gotten quite verbal lately and knows more words than I originally gave him credit for. They might be difficult for a non-family member to decipher, but still, these are a few: Da-di, Ma-ma, Diddy (for Sissy), ball, bird, bath, teeth, woof (for all dogs), car, bye-bye, Hey! (every time you get him out of his crib...so cute... or if he passes a female in a store), cheese, shoes, thank you, Brown Bear, Spot, and recently, Papa and Pops.
He just recently dropped his morning nap and now naps 2-3 hours in the early afternoon. He is still sleeping from 8-7ish at night. Some days here and there it becomes obvious that he still needs a morning nap and will take a good morning one and not such a good afternoon one. It's so hard making those big sleeping adjustments! At least Sunday mornings at church are way easier on him now.
We are so blessed to have him as part of our family. He's so much fun and watching the love grow between him and Anna is just breath-taking. We love you so much, little man!
