Have lots to post about since I've fallen behind again, but we went in for Britt's 15 month check up last week, which didn't go quite as planned. First, he weighed in a 21.5lbs, which means he's only gained a few ounces. Not a problem at all according to the doc, since he's been running around for months now and is looking more like a toddler than a blubbery baby. The great news is that he grew over 2 inches and is 30 1/4 inches now, woop woop! He also had his first ear infection (actually in both ears), so we were not able to get his boosters. We head back in two weeks for a follow up and to try again with the shots.
Here is a summary at 15 Months:
- 21 lbs, 5 oz (need to check what percentile)
- 30 1/4 inches (need to check what percentile)
- Walks, runs, climbs up the steps, working on going back down on his belly, climbs his slide and slides down all by himself, and he LOVES to dance to anything.
- Says Dada, Mama, Ball, Dog, Duck, Go go, and a few other mumbo-jumbo words (tbd)
- Can jump to me in the pool and go under, loves to blow bubbles, is comfortable laying on his back and belly in the pool if I have a hand on him
- His favorite food is a bowl at Chipotle (rice, black beans, chicken, corn, tomatoes, cheese, guac). He cannot get enough of this place and clearly takes after his dad. He has also discovered that we drink diet coke and not water, so he has decided he loves that as well (I know, I'm a horrible mom for giving into my child and feeding him caffeine and artificial sweetner!)
- He drinks about 20 oz of milk per day and is not a fan of juice. He prefers water in his cup over juice, which makes me very happy.
- He has discovered balloons at Publix and gets excited every time we walk in. He points and squeals while we check out until he gets one.
- He has made many friends in his play group (so have I!), and we try to do something at least once or twice a week.
- We have been to see the Shamu Show at Sea World a few times, and he LOVES it! We even took Aunt Courtney, who was visiting. He loves to see the sharks and dolphins too.
- He still loves Clifford and Wheel of Fortune, along with So You Think You Can Dance.
That's about it for now.
