Nathan is 15 months old!

Today Nathan is 15 months old!

He had his 15 month check up on Tuesday and he weighs 22 pounds, 6 ounces and is 30 inches tall.  This puts him in the 25th percentile for weight and height.  His head circumference is 48 cm, and that's in the 75th percentile.  He's very healthy and doing great.  He loves to climb, run, dance and just move as much as possible!  He loves to climb into the kitchen chairs and onto the table.  He'd rather sit in a big chair at the table than in his booster seat.  He loves music and will dance around with Emma and just have a great time.

He has a few words in addition to mama and ba (ball).  He says da for dog, he's said duck various times for different ducks that he sees, and he's said apple once, while eating an apple during snack time.  I'm trying to teach him body parts and he definitely know 'nose' and sometimes 'eye'.

Nathan rarely sleeps in his crib, he just hates it.  So for nap time he sleeps in his room on a foam mattress on the floor.  At night he goes bed on his mattress but then between 10 and 11 he wakes up and I bring him to bed with us.  I am thinking we may toss the crib soon and get a toddler bed.

Nathan usually wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00 am.  He usually wakes up very happy.  We spend our mornings playing, taking Emma to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes running errands.  He loves to play outside.  He just wants to walk off down the sidewalk and see the world.  He holds his left arm up a bit and swings his right arm with such gusto!

We love our little guy so much!  Merry Christmas Eve!
