Charlie is 15 months old!

Alright so here we go. I haven't updated on Charlie since October and a lot has happened since then. He is now 15 months old. He has really become a little boy now instead of a baby.

We went to his check-up yesterday. His stats were:

22 lbs 12 oz (25%)

30 1/4 inches (25%)

So he is still a little man. He had to get two shots which were no fun, but he handled it pretty good. He was really nice to the doctor and let her do her whole exam with out squirming or crying (if only he were that calm when I try to cut his nails lol). So all looks good. We discussed all of his development milestones and he is pretty much on track like normal.

He isn't walking yet. He cruises around really good holding onto anything he can reach. He has recently started walking with us while we hold one hand up. He is still pretty wobbly, but he is getting better. I think he'll be walking pretty soon. Dr. said as long as he is walking by 18 months she isn't worried.

He talks A LOT, but no English :) He talks craziness(Charlie language) all day, but he has a few words: Mama, Dada, Ball, Dog, What and Huh? Pretty funny. I got him to say block once and occasionally he will say Bye bye or night night. Dr. said that was on par too as long as he seems to understand words, pointing to indicate wants, etc. I think at this point they are suppose to have 3-6 words so we're good. When he finally does figure it out, we might be in trouble :)

His schedule is pretty routine now. He wakes up about 7 am and then goes to nap at about 10:30am until noonish. Then he usually takes an afternoon nap from about 3-4. Sometimes he skips the afternoon nap, sometimes it's longer. I think he will probably be transitioning into one nap a day soon. He just always seems so tired by about 3 though so we will see.

He has almost all of his teeth now. I swear he has been in a constant stage of teething since he was 5 months old. All of them have broken through except one (well except his 2 year molars in the back haven't shown any signs yet, hopefully we have a few months before those come in). It is crazy how many teeth he has, but he really has handled it like a champ!

His table food eating is SLOWLY getting better. He is a very picky eater (honestly so am I) so for awhile he has only eaten certain table foods (banana, yogurt, toast, crackers, cheese). Lately he has added pears, peaches, edamame (I know crazy!) and peas. If only I could get him to eat a few more vegetables and some meat!!! I still give him one jar a day of pureed baby food meat and veggies and I am so ready to be done with that. I have to fight him to eat those, but I know he needs to protein. Maybe one day he will eat SOME meat. I've tried lunch meat, hot dogs, ground beef, pretty much any meat we eat, but nothing. Oh well, I'm sure one day he will just love it like he has done with the other stuff. He is always surprising me.

Since our last update we've gone to Disney World for Charlie's birthday, Thanksgiving, two separate Christmases, traveled to California, and Trey has been to Vegas & Australia for work. It has been a crazy few months! And it doesn't seem to be stopping. Trey is going back to CA for work and we are going back to Disney World (just for fun :) We had some time share points we needed to use and Trey and I hadn't been with just us (T, D, and Charlie) yet so we decided to make a short trip. This will be Charlie's 4th airplane ride and 3rd trip to Disney World!! He is such a great traveler, I am so lucky. We are really looking forward to this trip to get away just the three of us.

Well, honestly, this is all I have time for right now and I don't have any pictures on this computer to upload.....SO.....sorry this will have to do and if you want to see pictures check Facebook :)

I can't believe our baby boy is 15 months old now. At Trey and I's anniversary dinner we always discuss where we are and where we want to be etc. and the topic of baby #2 came up(we've decided to re-discuss that in a few months and see where we both stand, so no...not yet :). It seems like just yesterday we brought Charlie home. Life really is flying by. It makes me a little sad because there is so much joy and it keeps changing. But, we have so much to look forward to and we are really relishing each moment with our little family of three. We are so blessed.
