Well, it's been 3 months since the last Wes update. That means he is now 15 months old. Crazy, awesome, exhausting, wonderful, joyful, and challenging are all words I would use to describe Mr. Wesley at 15 months old. Even on the hardest days, I'm still overcome with gratitude and thankfulness that I get to be Wes's mom.
Wes at 15 months:
- weighs 21 pounds and 3 ounces (10th percentile)
- is 29 and 1/2 inches tall, or short, however you see it (10th percentile)
- had his first fairly high fever, which meant some rough nights :(
- has 12 teeth (that I can see) and I'm pretty sure there are more coming in
- has gone backward in his eating habits, unfortunately. I'll just blame it on teething like I do everything. Let's hope when he starts feeling better he will go back to eating the things he liked before
- sleeps 11-12 hours at night
- takes one nap a day (2-3) hours-this is still pretty tough for him. He wants to take a nap around 10:00 am, but we push him until 12:30 or 1:00. Sometimes this happens though...
loves: bath time, other kids, balls, cars, phones, dancing to music, books, being outside and lots of other things.
thinks it's funny when mommy says "no", unless I take a toy away and then he is NOT happy.
understands sooo much. His receptive language skills are growing like crazy and I love it.
says a lot, although not totally intelligible. Words he says clearly: no, mimi (for mama), ball, oh no, ow/ouch, wow, hi, yes, and I think I heard bye-bye, and something that sounded like grandpa yesterday.
has started to hit/swat at things/people and I'm really trying to figure out how to discipline this kid
likes it when I sing the ABCs
wears 12-18 months clothes. Pants are always long, but who's surprised?
has hit the separation anxiety phase :(
has his mommy and daddy's whole heart
Enjoy the pics:

And the moral of the story is...parenting a 15 month old isn't for the faint of heart!
Carson just hit the separation anxiety phase too! I hate leaving him at daycare when he's screaming and running after me:(. He has also been swatting/hitting. He thinks it's funny for some reason. I think he thinks it's a form of play. We just say no and stop him from doing it, but it continues from time to time. Not sure there is a great way to discipline them at this age. :)
