15 Months!

Lucas, you continue to amaze me! You are able to do so many things and you are growing up so fast. I cannot remember what life was without you. You are so sweet and you bring so much joy to mama and daddy's life! We went to the doctor this month for your 15 month check up. Your stats were:

                Weight: 23.31 lbs (57.51%)                  

Length: 32.25 inches (84.44%)

Head Circumference: 18.23 in (34.02%)

 You are wearing size 18-24 month clothes now and still size 4 diapers. You are eating great and eat most things. You are starting to eat carrots and sweet potatoes again. Your favorites are still green beans and broccoli...and of course you love any kind of chicken. You also love turkey deli meat! You love to dance/jump, laugh, brush your teeth, read books, and take a bath. Your favorite thing to do is to go outside and run straight to the woods.

You are all toddler now. Running, climbing, eating, talking....you are now longer a baby : (. You still love to cuddle which is a huge plus though. I cannot even begin to start to name all of the words you say now because you say so many! You are putting two words together now too! You are so sweet and polite and say "up please" when you want up. We went to the Zoo for the first time to see the Christmas lights at the zoo in Columbia. I took a half day off of work on a Friday and Daddy got home early. We stopped at Chik-Fil-A (one of your favorite places to eat). I have to order you your own kids meal now! You love the grilled chicken nuggets, cinnamon applesauce, and milk. You also love to eat daddy's fries. You really enjoyed seeing all of the animals at the zoo and we had such a fun night! You got a toy that glowed in the dark and mama and daddy had fresh caramel popcorn and hot chocolate. You met another little boy your age and waved really liked having someone your age. Then, it was time to pack up and head back home. We stopped at Daddy's favorite restaurant (Zesto's) and you had a chicken leg. 

We decided to take your care instead of your stroller so that you could see more of the animals. It was a hit and we will do that more often!

They had fake snow falling in some of the areas and you loved it! I hope it snows some this year so that you can see real snow!

We also talked Daddy into getting a real Christmas tree this year. We had a fun trip planned to go to NC to pick and cut down our own tree and make a really fun day of it. However, you got really sick with the croup. You woke up around 4:00 at night with a horrible cough and I gave you an albuterol treatment. Daddy, Grandma, and I took your to the doctor the next morning as soon as it opened. You were still coughing pretty badly. They cough your a mixture of epinephrine, albuterol breathing treatment and a progesterone shot! I had to take you back ~4 hours later for the same breathing treatment. Thankfully, after all of those meds and prayers, you were feeling much better. I stayed out of work with you the next day and you were feeling much better. However, the next day, I woke up with the same thing you had and we were not able to go to NC to get our tree. Uncle Colby and Aunt Ashley were so sweet and just picked us up one from Lowes and brought it to us. We had fun decorating it that night as a family. We played Christmas music and I baked sugar cookies. You loved your first sugar cookie with cold milk. We were so thankful you were feeling better.

So glad you are feeling better!
