15 Months Old

15 months old

Weight: 15 month appointment on Thursday. I'll update then.

Length: 15 month appointment on Thursday. I'll update then.

Wearing: size 5 Huggies diapers (with the overnight diapers at bedtime), 18 month pants, 24 month shirts (I can get him to wear 18 month onesies, but the neck is getting pretty low now). He is able to comfortably wear size 24 sleepers.

Feedings: Jack drinks 25 ounces of milk a day. We continue to work on transitioning him to table food. Waffles and fruit are still big in his book.

Favorites: Jack still loves to throw balls and chase them around the house. He also still loves to go into the big boys' room and play on their beds. He enjoys reading his books, especially his book about babies. (The same book with the sad baby that used to make Shawn cry!)

Least Favorites: Not getting his way.

Issues: Houston, Jack finally has all of his teeth! Yeah! No if we could just get him to stop eating all of his books and toys, we'd be set.

Personality: Jack has been pretty snuggly of late. He still gets the 'tude out when things don't go his way, though.

Areas to work on: Jack still has yet to walk. He is doing all the precursors to walking, but still hasn't ventured out on his own.

New Things: Jack is now into building and destroying block towers. It's pretty funny to watch.

Randomness: Jack has a new lovey to play with. He likes to snuggle it close at bed time. Of course, his lovey is the first thing he throws out of the bed in the mornings, too. :)

Some things Jack is expected to do: (milestones for fifteen months)

Mastered Skills (most kids can do)

• Plays with ball - Yes.
• Uses three words regularly - Well, if I include signing, then yes.
• Walks backward - Nope

Emerging Skills (half of kids can do)

• Scribbles with a crayon - Give him a crayon?!!? Why would I want to do that?
• Runs - Nope.
• Adopts "no" as his favorite word - Not yet. Thankfully. He does have a pretty aggressive head shake, though.

Advanced Skills (a few kids can do)

• "Helps" around the house - If by "help" you mean make a mess everywhere he goes, then yes. Somehow, I don't think that is what they mean, though. So I guess the answer is no. Ahem.
• Puts his fingers to his mouth and says "shhh" - No, but we don't do that, so why would he?
