15 months

Our little (or big) Micah Man turned 15 months last week on April 26th. This past Monday, we had his 15 month appointment, and he had a great check-up. Our PA confirmed that he is right on track developmentally for his age. He also had to get 3 shots, which was much harder on me than it probably was on him.


15 fun facts about this little ray of sunshine in our lives...

1) Gentle Giant - Micah hit the 90% percentile for all measurements taken at his 15 month check up. He is in the 90% percentile for weight at 28#. No wonder my arms are so tired! And he's in the 99% for height (35 inches) and head circumference (20 inches). According to this daycare, he's bigger than a lot of the kids in the toddler room. Currently he wears size 18-24 clothes, and he has a few 2T sized shirts. Micah also wears size 5 diapers.

2) Toddler Room - Micah will be making the transition to the toddler room at daycare over the next few weeks. He is definitely ready for the transition, and I too am excited for him to be surrounded by other kids near his developmental level.

3) Micah has 16 teeth. Four just recently popped through.

4) Micah love to eat. He is not too picky of an eater which makes me happy. He still loves Mac and Cheese, goldfish, bananas, toast, and our Friday night pizza night. He fortunately did not inherit my sweet-tooth.

5) Goal met - Micah is drinking from a sippy cup without our assistance. Next month's goal - eating from a spoon.

6) Little Jabber Mouth - Micah has become more vocal over the past week. We still can't make out half of what he's saying, but it's great hearing his little voice! Consistent words are - "t - ruck" - the "ck" emphasized, "bupf" for bus, duck, quack/quack, mama, dada, dog, ball, and occasionally we hear a "car".

7) Loves to be outside and he loves the park. This past week, we also found that Brutus also likes playground equipment as well. More about that in another post.

8) He becomes a little prune at bath time, because he loves to splash in the water for ample amounts of time (or until he gets cold).

9) Until this past week, I could not remember the last time Micah DID NOT sleep through the night : ) This past week, he woke up 1 time, likely from a bad dream and was easily comforted back to sleep.

10) Walking, running, beginning to go up and down stairs. He is full of bumps and bruises from his high level of activity and trips and falls that come along with it.

11) Still loves books.

12) Starting to take an interest in a few TV shows - Dogs 101 on Animal Planet. He also likes Sesame Street which I'm finding is also quite entertaining for adults too.

13) No interest in potty training, nor have we initiated it. That'll be my goal in the next few months.

14) Enjoys helping me unload the dishwasher. Also will clear out a drawer, cupboard, etc if given the opportunity.

15) He loves his family - us, his fur-brother Brutus, his grandparents, uncles and aunt, and cousins. And, we are so thankful for him every day. He truly makes our lives brighter!
