15 Months

We had Logan's 15 month check today. Unfortunately it was more a sick visit than a well visit - he started getting needy yesterday, had a rough night and then a full blown cold this morning. I would be lying if I didn't say this has been a challenging month with all of Logan's sickness. The doctor checked out Logan's ears and explained there was fluid in his ears, it was not infected, but was most likely only a matter of time until it turned into an infection. Grr!!!! So the doctor felt we should move up Logan's ENT appt which will most likely end up with him getting tubes. Sigh! We will be seeing the ENT in two weeks now and go from there.
Other than the ear infections Logan has been doing good with his development. The doctor always comments about how solid and strong Logan is. He jokingly says that Logan will give us trouble as he gets older. I kindly commented it is already a challenge to pin the kiddo down to get a diaper on him. Here are the stats from his appt today:

Weight 29 lbs - 95th percentile
Length 33 1/2 inches - 97th percentile
Head 50 cm - 97th percentile

Here are some of the things Logan is enjoying these days:
- He is still a little book worm. He will bring books to you and back up into your lap so you will read it for him. Loves his trips to the library!
- Really enjoys walking all over the place. It is so funny to watch him swing his arms while he walks. He is a really good walker. Probably why it took him so long...he wanted to perfect it first....sounds like his dad!
- Loves to ham it up. Will keep doing silly things over and over if he can get a laugh out of you.
- Loves to shake it aka dance to music, any music...even organ music as we discovered when we were at my sister's church in IA.
- Enjoys playing at the park. Thankfully those visits haven't ended yet! He loves going down the slides all by himself.
- New words are: bah (ball), ni ni (night night), hea (head), pah (puppy). He will sometimes moo for a cow and say woof for a puppy. He will point to certain objects if asked while we read books. He will point to his head when we sing head n' shoulders but no other parts yet :-)
- Likes to take pots/pans out of the cupboards...really enjoys emptying any cupboard or drawer. Not too into clean up yet!
- Starting to have more tantrums from time to time. Oh the joys of a toddler!
- We are finding he is starting to get a little more picky with his food. One day he will eat his beans up the next day he won't touch them (I guess it also depends how he is feeling that day too). Overall I can't complain because he is a really good eater
- He eats really good with his spoon and does okay with his fork. Still needs some help with the fork.

And most importantly some cute pics of the little man!
