Fisher is 15 Months Old!

he was all about trying to get his sticker off again this month

making "vroom vroom" noises

ready to get down

hey mom!

he was so mad because I put him back in the chair to try to get one more picture :)

*Fisher weighs 20 pounds 6 oz (5th %ile). He is 30 1/2 inches tall (50th %ile) and his head circumference is 18 1/4 inches (25th-50th %ile).


*He wears cloth diapers (size 3 in a disposable) and 6-9/6-12 month outfits, depending on the brand. He has two 12-18 month outfits he can wear.


*He is a big time walker now! He's starting to lose his drunken sailor walk-ha! He will still crawl, but not very often.

*He is a climber! Stairs, chairs, you name it, he climbs it!

* He still has a great appetite. Most of the time, he is very willing to try whatever I give him. His current favorite is crackers and grapes. He is a sippy cup pro!


*He still loves to be outside. We play outside almost every day, although we don't stay out for very long since it's so hot.

*He's sleeping in his bed every night. He still flips and flops all over the bed. He will stand up in the bed when he wants to get out. He's also gnawed on his crib rails.


* He is obsessed with books! He has about 5 favorites that he will bring to me and want me to read over and over (and over) again. My limit is 5 times before I tell him to get a new book. :)

*Breastfeeding about 3 times a day and during the night if he wakes up, with a bottle of almond milk at bedtime. I have finally stopped pumping at work, so he gets almond milk on the weekends when Daddy is in charge. He will sleep through the night, or he'll wake up 1-2 times a night. He wakes up for the day between 8-9. He is still napping twice a day, usually an hour long each nap.


*His vocabulary is really developing. His favorite words are "DaDa" and "cracker". He will sometimes say "MaMa". Other words include duck, dog, Duchess, outside, choo-choo, bath, how do, tractor ,ball, light, hot, Abby (the neighbor's dog), helicoptor (I promise he says it!), book, poo poo (not when he has it in his diaper, though), baby, doctor, teeth (which comes out like "tee"), cheese, bubbles, bottle, and diaper (which he says "biper"). His words are hit or miss-sometimes he'll say them, sometimes not. He's also appearing to be picking up on some signs. He understands "milk", and will (somewhat) sign "all done" sometimes.

*He loves to play in the floor with his toys. He loves anything with wheels; he likes to push his toys across the floor. His favorite toy right now is his tractor and his books.

*He is very loving. He loves to give hugs and lay on you (only when he's in the mood).

*He has learned how to blow kisses. Well, the actual "blowing" of them is still being worked on. :) He will also do the "shhhh" motion with his mouth and finger. One of his favorite books says "shhhh", so I've always done the motion when reading it, and now Fishy will do it. He also likes to cluck with his tongue and make his mouth in the shape of an "o". He's a silly boy. :)

*He is still attached to lovie at the hip. He likes to pull her out of the crib and carry her around. When I ask him to get his lovie, he will go get her. When I tell him that lovie wants to stay in the bed and go night night, he throws her back in the crib.

*He is still very much into sucking his thumb. When he's tired he sucks his left thumb and rubs his face with his lovie in his right hand.

*He is getting better at object recognition. When you ask him to point to your nose/mouth/ears/eyes/tongue/teeth , he can-he's the best at nose and ears, though. When asked where his hair is, he'll pat his head. He can point out his belly button. He will also get his book, ball, lovie, tractor when asked. He will also get a specific book when asked. One of his favorite books is about baby animals. I will ask him to get his baby book and he'll bring it to me. He will also point to a light and say "light", as well as point to something hot (like a cup of coffee) and say "hot".

*Still loves taking a shower.



* He has thirteen teeth ( I think)! He has four on the bottom and four on the top. He has his top and bottom left side molars. He's got the bottom right molar, and the top one is about to break through. His canines are also through on the top, and the bottom ones are close to breaking through the skin. It's a good thing he enjoys brushing his teeth!
