Nathan's 15 month update

Ok, so a little late, but thought I'd update everyone on what Nathan is up to.

He had his 15 month appt at the end of December and he's looking good. He has not gained as much weight as he normally does, so he's now 22 lbs and 13 oz which is 26 percentile. The doctor suggested we go back to whole milk because we had him on 2% with Silas out of convenience. I'm not real concerned about him losing some weight, because I think part of the reason is him chasing after his brother. Since he took to walking at about 13 months, he has been nonstop since! Anyways, he's still a good height at 31 inches which is 64 percentile. He's looking good and has been very healthy. He did have another ear infection, so his 2nd, but it wasn't bad at all. He wasn't even really fussy or sick during that time and he was also getting his back molars so there was a lot going on. Overall, he's still such an easy infant/toddler and I really can't complain....he's spoiled us I think.

He is now starting to communicate which is really cute. I think similar to Silas his first word was Dadda. He also says, doggy, bus, puh (please), ta ta (thank you), bubba (brother) and I think that is about it. A few times he has said mama, but I'm not convinced of it yet since he doesn't say it consistently.

He's a very active little boy and has really gotten into cars, anything moving, trains, music, food, his toothbrush and still loves his sleep (thank goodness for that!). He squeals in delight when Daddy comes home from work and is starting on the daddy phase already. Perfect timing though! Silas and Nathan are starting to play really well together and it is so fun to watch. Silas now asks Nathan if he'll play with him. It is usually cars or chasing one another and although I don't think Nathan fully understands, he does it! Ahhhh.....this truly helps mommy when I need a break, so thankful for that. He is such a blessing and we love our two boys and can't wait to see what holds with the next one!
