15 months (and some change)

Dear John Walker,

Today we had your 15 month check up. You are actually about 15 ½ months old. This is such a fun age. You are discovering everything! You are a pretty passionate, happy kid. When you are happy, which is most of the time, you are all smiles and giggles. When something makes you mad?? Man, you get irritated. It is pretty funny, although you don’t think so of course. You are trying out new words almost daily. You are such a great mimic sometimes.

Favorite foods right now:

Pickles (still your all time favorite)

Hummus

Mustard

Raisins

Broccoli

Oranges

Newest words:

“Hey dude”

“All done”

“John”

“Pretty”

“Outside”

“Five” (I think you are saying 5.. I’m not totally sure about this one)

Oh and you did say “Papa” clear as day a couple weekends ago & Papa was THRILLED!

Sleeping:

Well last week you were IN YOUR CRIB until early morning. You would wake up & want a drink & then back to sleep. BUT… starting 3 days ago you decided you HATE your crib. UGH! Back to the drawing board.

Bath time:

Out of the kitchen sink & into our tub and you LOVE it!

Nap time:

I think we are slowly going down to 1 nap. You have a pretty decent one around 11/11:30, but you just can’t make it to bed time so lately you have been trying to pass out around 6 or 7 which ruins bedtime. Your sleeping is kind of a mess right now. L

New favorite activities:

You finally like me to read to you! It has taken some time, but you started bringing books to me.

Today you got two shots. I was so nervous about it, but your doctor assured me there is nothing to worry about. You have to be up to date on your vaccines by the time Montessori starts (3 months away.. tear..). I don’t want to have you pumped full of vaccines right before, so I have had to try and catch you up. Today you got the MMR (AHAHAH! This one scares me) and chickenpox. You and Nana met me at the doctors. You were so sad after your shots (note to self – don’t make appointments at naptime). It was heartbreaking.

You are such a fun little person. You are the best thing to happen to us and we love you so much!
