I thought I would post some picture of what our little man has been up to lately...

"Trying" to play with the dogs!

16 Months!

Our little man turned 16 Months on Sunday. Yep you read right, 16 months!! We can't believe it ourselves. Here are some Fun Facts about our sweet boy:

-He has lots of personality and showing us more and more of it daily.
-He can tell you where his nose is. We're working on the others. The nose took a while because he thought it was funny to respond with "no" and laugh when I would demonstrate no. Funny guy!
-He wants to be outside 24/7. Good thing we've had beautiful lately. He stands at the door at our house and Gin Gin's saying ouside (without the t).
-My favorite thing he has started to do is just walk up to me while I'm getting dressed or just standing there, he wraps his tiny arms around my leg and hugs me. Melts.My.Heart.
-He still loves bath time and if you mention a bath he says baatth and runs to his bathroom.
-He is very strong-willed at times. I'm going to brag on myself a little here. I'm pretty impressed as to how well I seem to handle his "meltdowns." I really do believe all that patience the Lord taught us while trying to conceive has really paid off with my mothering skills as well. Let's just hope I'm not jinxing myself here.
-Some new words he has added to his vocabulary lately are: tree, nose, outside, and juice (he's been saying that one for a while not sure if I've documented it on here or not).

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot cute and fun things he's doing and I'll be back with them if they come to my lovely memory I have these days.

16 Months

Love this... looks like he's had a tough day at Gin Gin's.

Sweetest. Baby.

Inside...

My sweet boy gave me his stomach virus so we have both been cooped up inside all week. We are both doing better today so we will be getting out of the house tomorrow, for sure!

Playing in his playroom!

Good thing we've had plenty of toys to keep us occupied this week.

Tomorrow morning I think I will take Baylor here to jump. Looks like fun, huh?! After lunch and a nap, I'm planning on us spending the rest of the day OUTSIDE in this beautiful weather!

Bless his heart...

Baylor has had an awful stomach virus since late Thursday evening. It started to slow down on Friday afternoon so we thought he was over the 24 hour bug, but we were proven wrong when he started to get sick again on late Saturday afternoon. We ended up taking him in to the ER on Sunday afternoon because were concerned he may be getting dehydrated and didn't think he needed to wait til Monday when his Ped office reopened. Thankfully he wasn't and they gave him a script for zofran. They also said his right ear was "red" and gave us a script for an antibiotic. I've got to be honest last time the ER told us he had and ear infection Dr. M told us at his follow up appointment that he did not believe his ear was ever infected. The same antibiotic that Dr. M put him on at his 15 month check up last Monday, for his congestion is what the ER doctor put him on. Now that he tummy seems to be doing better we will start it back. Finger's crossed we have had no diarrhea, vomiting, or fever today. Praying it continues that way. I can't tell you how many baths, loads of laundry, and times I've been vomited or had his messy diaper on me this week. It's all part of motherhood, but I would love my baby to be back to normal!



Poor baby wanted to be outside so bad this weekend. We thought he was getting over his bug.

15 Month Check Up!

These are my 2 attempts at a picture. He was having a blast waiting to see the Doc!

Baylor had his 15 month check up with Dr. M on Monday and here is a little recap. He doing great with his milestones: talking (at least 5-6 words), eating, and scribbling (yep, surprised they asked about that one).

Stats:

Weight: 23.6lbs (40%)

Height: 31 1/2in (top 40%) -tall boy

Head Circumference:19 1/4 (90%)

Dr. M was very pleased with Baylor's heath and progress. He did put him on another round of antibiotics because he still has a bad cough and runny nose. It's been going on for a month now. 10 days of amoxicillin just didn't cut it. I can already tell an improvement with his congestion, yay! He got 2 shots and did great. He cried for like 2 seconds and then was over it. After his appointment he came home and took a 3 1/2 hour nap- just what the doctor ordered!

He continues to amaze us with things that he says and does here are a few new things since I did his 15 month post.

-Points and says what's that?

-You can ask him what a duck, cow, and dog says and he responds with their 'noise." He has been barking, mooing, and quacking for a while, but just now responds when you ask what each animal does.

-I'm pretty sure he's saying Chloe now. Not the clearest,but I think he trying to get it out.

-Cheese- he says cheese sometimes when I get the camera out to take a picture of him.

- Jump is a new word and I'm sure there are many more I always forget. I can't get over the vocabulary he already has at 15 months. Smart boy!

He head's back for another check up at 18 months and those will be his last shots until he starts preschool. I can't believe he's almost done with them. Time please I'm asking you again, slow down!
