15 Months!

Saturday, Sawyer turned 15 months old...that's a year and a quarter! We ended up at the pediatrician's office on Saturday morning because he had been running a low grade fever and coughing a good bit at the end of the week. I wanted to get him checked out to make sure it was something severe. It turns out his throat was irritated due to drainage. The sore throat was making him cough. We started back on the Zyrtec to help dry him up. He seems to be doing much better today.
* Weight: 25 lbs 14 oz.
* Length: 32.75 in. 
* Wearing 12-18 month clothes
* Wearing size 4 diapers
* Eating: Sawyer eats 3 square meals a day, plus snacks. He loves all fruits and vegetables. He gets 3-4 cups of 2% organic milk a day and drinks water in between. 
* Words: mama, dada, dog, tries to say Scotch, makes a barking sound when asked what a dog says, light, bye, Bob, uh-oh, Nana
* He gives big open mouth kisses when asked or sometimes just because <3 nbsp="">
* Other tricks: claps, high-fives, rolls his hands (like wheels on the bus), touch down, blows kisses (not always from his mouth, but somewhere on his head)
* Walking: Sawyer walks really well when holding your hand or pushing something. He will take 3-5 steps on his own occasionally. 
* We are working on body part identification. He knows and points to his toes. We are working on eyes, ears, nose, mouth, head, hair, etc. 
* His favorite toys are his cars, trucks, stacking cups, little people, connecting rings, small sting ray, his lovies, and anything that has a tag (obsessed). 
* He understands small directions/commands: go find your _________; where does your shoe go? points to his foot. 
* He is starting to also hear the word "no" occasionally. He doesn't necessarily like to hear it and will have mild fit if whatever we are asking him to stop doing doesn't suit him. I think you would call that strong-willed! 

We love our sweet boy to the moon and back! I can't imagine our world without him in it. He makes everyday worthwhile, even the not so good days. Will and I both have busy weeks this week, but we are planning a fun family day trip to NC to go apple picking this weekend. Looking forward to this fun fall activity! I hope it will become an annual family tradition.
