Patrick- 15 Months

Patrick is 15 months!  We had his 15 month doctor appointment last Friday and he weighs 20 pounds, 14 ounces (8%),  height is 32 1/4 inches (80%) and his head circumference is 30%.   Such a tiny little guy!  His ears also looked perfect this time.  Two times in a row that he hasn't had an ear infection!  Way to go buddy!

He is saying three new words this month.  He says "choo choo" for a train, "uh oh" and "hi."   He still babbles constantly.

He LOVES Thomas the Train.  Whenever he comes home, he grabs the remote controller points to the T.V. and says choo choo.  He only really watches the first 3 minutes which has the song, waves at Thomas when he comes on the screen, and then runs off to play with other things.  It is hysterical!

He loves rap music and dances to it and bobs his head when we are in the car.  I'm not talking hardcore rap, I mean when there is a pop song on the radio and there is a little rap portion in the middle.  Not sure where he gets that from!  

He is not throwing meltdowns anymore, like he was a few months ago!  He still gets a little upset when I can't understand what he wants, but he isn't falling on the floor and screaming.  Hopefully that is past us for good!

He really likes a little girl in his class named Eliza.  She is almost 3, but Patrick runs around trying to hug her all day.  Margaret says that he probably gives her 10 hugs a day.  How cute is that?

He also loves to give mom and dad hugs.  He also pats us on the shoulder when we talk to him (not sure why).  He has also started fake laughing when anyone laughs.   Almost like he wants to join in since everyone else is laughing.  It's pretty funny!

He hasn't been a good eater this month.  He mostly only eats yogurt, cheez-its, applesauce, graham crackers and anything with cinnamon on it.  He also drinks a ton of milk.  The kid really loves milk!

He is consistently taking one nap a day for two hours.  However, night time is still a different story.  He is hit or miss on whether he will sleep through the night.  He has more nights where he sleeps through the night though, so we are definitely improving!  I swear its because he is just too excited to sleep!

Margaret commented that he is one of the most active children that she has ever watched and that is saying a lot!  Although recently, he has really loved to cuddle with me on the couch for 5 or 6 minutes, which in toddler time is a long time to be still :)

Love you Patrick!
