15 months...ALREADY!

Who said our last baby could grow up so quickly??
Wasn't he just born?
Beyond a short lived fever Mother's Day weekend, we are happy to finally have him well after being ill nearly all of April.

He is so funny and has really picked up signing and has a lot of spoken words too! He is into everything and loves to play, especially with his Busy Ball Popper.

His other love is his pound a ball toy from Nana.

And we can't forget his walk/ride toy from Mimi.

His well baby check was last Wednesday. He and Katie both ended up getting shots. I've felt so much better with following Dr Sears schedule this time around.

He weighed in at 18 lbs 13 oz and 26 in.
Comparatively Katie was 19 lbs 1 oz and 28.5 in
And Kelton was 21 lbs 8oz and 30 in

He's lost weight (which doesn't really concern me seeing that he was sick for a month) and he's fallen completely off the bottom of the growth charts. Still, I'm not super concerned since all my kids are on the petite side. Although honestly, just now typing out the other kids stats at this age made my heart sink just a bit because he's smaller than Katie was. Ugh.

However, since he's not a good eater (beyond pureed fruits and veggies), the ped would like us to try some OT to get him eating some other textures. It's not for lack of trying on our part and I guess I'll be glad to have the extra guidance. She's not in a rush for us to go though and wants to give it another month or so to see if he starts walking unassisted as well. If not, back to PT we'll go. He cruises EVERYWHERE, but has yet to let go. Katie hadn't either at this age, so it's just something else we have our eye on but aren't getting too excited about right yet.

I've been trying (without much luck) all kind of different foods for him. Our one success? Taco meat. Easy enough for me since I regularly get seasoning very cheap or free (or just use this taco seasoning recipe) and we have more than enough deer burger to get us through until next hunting season.




Just a few more pictures of my cutie for his adoring fans....
