15 Month Recap

Weight: 18lb, 14oz

Length: 27.5"

Clothing size: Mostly 12 month, but he does wear a few 12-18 month and 18 month clothes. He still wears size 3 infant shoes.

Diaper size: size 3

Eating: Caleb has definitely found his appetite. It's hard to believe he had a feeding tube this time last year! Caleb loves turkey, cheese, guacamole, Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and most other fruits and veggies. He hasn't seemed too interested in pasta, but he did gobble up some chicken spaghetti the other day. It was the Pioneer Woman's recipe... who doesn't love it?! Caleb drinks all of his milk and water from his Honey Bear straw cups now! 

Sleeping: Caleb goes to sleep around 7:30-8:00pm and wakes up around 6:30-7:00am. Taking two naps is starting to become rare. When he does, he usually naps 30-60 minutes each time. If he only naps in the afternoon, that nap is usually 1-2 hours. 

His days: Caleb is a busy little guy. He goes to Mother's Day Out three times each week. When he's not there, he stays busy with speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, story time at the library, play dates, and lots of play time at home.  

Highlights of the last three months: Caleb's speech is getting more clear and intentional. His favorite thing to say is still "Dada"... even when Daddy isn't home. He says "Mama" every now and then. The ladies in the nursery last Sunday evening told me that Caleb said "Bye bye" when his friend left. 

He's starting to sign a few words. He sometimes signs "eat" and "more" before and during meals/snacks. He was signing "celebrate" a lot, but he has switched to clapping lately. 

If we ask him "where's tummy?", he will usually pat his tummy and smile! 

Caleb is trying so hard to figure out how to crawl. He will sometimes rock from side to side and sort of propel himself forward a little bit. By doing this, he can usually move a couple feet. His biggest motivators are toys and Daddy's pizza. Rolling is still his primary mode of independent mobility.
