Jacob :: 15 Months

Jacob turned 15 months last week, but we went for his well check up today, so I waited to blog until today. He has slimmed down since his last appointment. He was 26 lbs. 6 oz. and 32 inches long. He is now on the chart and in the 91st percentile. 


Not too much has changed since last month. He is sleeping better at night (translated LONGER). He rarely wakes up before 7 and has even been sleeping until 8 these last few days. The nap schedule is all sorts of unpredictable. He usually just takes one a day but depending on what time he woke up, it could be at 10 or 12 until as late as 2. I try to hold him off as long as possible but some days are harder to do because of our schedule with kids. 

We started giving him diluted apple juice this week and he loves it. If he could pick, I'm certain he would eat cereal bars and lil crunchies (and ritz crackers) all day long. So, we add in some yogurt and still give him some baby food to make sure things are as balanced as possible. 

We did finally get rid of that 4 month battle of a diaper rash. Dr. S said we could go back to using our cloth diapers (my wallet thanks you Dr. S) so we'll give it a try and see. If it comes back though, I'm afraid we'll have to move on. 

He is signing bite and all done, waves and nods his head "yes" and is developing perfectly. Dr. S wasn't discouraged or worried about the fact that he isn't walking. Taller kids walk later, boys walk later, and he has made it clear since birth that he is on his OWN schedule. He has 3 more months to figure it out before physical therapy is in the future. 

He is currently fighting a cold and allergies, but no meds needed. He continue to be obsessed with cars and going for rides in the wagon. His favorite thing to do is stand in your lap in the drivers seat. In fact, I let him do that a few times waiting on Jim to get done in his office and he will now scream most car rides because HE wants to drive. Oops. We did give him a toy steering wheel and it helps most of the time.
