15 Month Check-Up

Jack turned 15 months old yesterday and had his check-up today. Our little guy is quite the little chatter box. Sometimes we understand what he's saying but most of the time he's talking his own language. He starts jabbering and doesn't stop and it cracks us up! He understands almost everything we tell him and doesn't like the word "no". He is definitely ALL boy! He throws everything, loves to get dirty, climbs on everything and of course, he loves to run around the house naked! We recently found out he's allergic to penicillin. He's been on and off of antibiotics because of an ear infection, and a few weeks ago, he broke out into hives and his legs started to swell. We took him to the doctor and she immediately knew what it was...no more penicillin for Jack.

On Sunday, Jack woke up and his eyes were almost swollen shut. We took him to the ER and he had pink eye in both eyes and a sinus and ear infection...poor baby! We followed up with our pediatrician on Monday and she said the ear infection caused the pink eye and wants Jack to see an ENT. He has an appointment with the ENT on June 24. He has been through so much these last 2 months (strep throat, ear infections, hives, pink eye) but has been so good through all of it. He is an amazing little boy! Here are his stats, a few new things and some updated pictures.

• Weight - 21 lbs, 2 oz (5-10%)
• Height - 31 1/2 inches (50-75%)
• Can say momma, dada, uh oh, whoa, ball, bat, dot (dog), yuck, uice (juice), bath, Beda (Bella - our dog), bye bye, hi, up, book, outs (outside), pish (fish) and knows what they all mean
• Tries to repeat almost everything we say
• Can "moo" like a cow
• Puts his finger on his mouth and says "shhhh"
• Working on using a spoon
• Loves to dip veggies in ranch dressing, all by himself
• Points at everything, especially when he wants it
• Loves to go for a ride in his little red wagon
• Gives five to everyone...up high and down low
• Loves to play chase
• Makes a "roooom" sound when playing with his trucks
• Loves burritos from FreeBirds, just like Mommy & Daddy

I love summer time!


Yummy juice box on a hot summer day!


Got into Daddy's shoes and didn't know how to get out!


Relaxing, and yes, I got up here all by myself!
