15 Months

15 Months

At 15 (11/21-12/20) months old, Grayson is:
-wearing 18-24 or 18 month onesies and shirts
-wearing 18 month pants
-wearing 18 month footie pjs
-in size 4 diapers    
-sleeping 10-13 hours a night depending on the night.  He still ends up in our bed often.
-walking & running
-drinking whole milk. 
-drinking 3 sippy cups of milk a day.  He is a little camel with water - he will drink it whenever you offer it.  He LOVES ice water.
-having solids at every meal.  He has gotten a lot better at eating the school lunches - which shocks us because there is no way he would eat half of the stuff at home.  For dinner, we still struggle getting Grayson to eat any sort of meat.  We had a few days where he ate some chicken nuggets, but he has since started refusing them again.  In order to get him to eat meat, we still give him some Stage 3 Gerber meals.  We don't have any trouble getting him to eat dairy or fruits.  (same as last month)      
-teething-NO TEETH this month!
-Grayson changed classrooms at school when we got back from Thanksgiving.  His new class only does one nap a day, so we have pretty much dropped the morning nap on the weekends as well.  His naps are anywhere from 1 1/2-3 hours long.  
-32 1/2 inches tall
-27 lb 15 oz

Other notables:
-At Gray's 15 month appointment, he was diagnosed with another ear infection and put on another round of antibiotics. 
-We talked with Grayson's Pediatrician about his lack of words - because the milestone is 3 words at 15 months.  She is not too worried about it at the moment, but did wonder if his ear infections might be limiting his hearing some.  We don't really think that is the case, and we are hopeful that he will start talking soon.
-We hired our babysitter to watch Gray on a weeknight so that we could attend P's work Christmas dinner.  We have only used her a couple of times (the work dinner last year and our anniversary), so she was shocked to see how big he is now. 
-It started to get tough shopping with Gray this month.  He doesn't like to sit in the carts very long (this has been a thing for quite a while), but he now just wants to get down even when we hold him.  That alone might not be too bad if he would stay near us, but he likes to run off to see something else when we let him down.  Christmas shopping was a real bear this year - I'll tell you that.  We were very thankful to get a lot of our shopping done online this time around.
-We took Grayson to see Zoo Lights at the Houston Zoo this year.  It was so cool!  We all had a great time, and even thought it was HOT, it put us in the holiday spirit.
-Travel this month - Dallas for Thanksgiving
-Grayson sat with the family at Thanksgiving and even had some of the feast that we were eating.  We unsuccessfully tried to get him to try the ham (unless it was covered in something else), but he enjoyed some mashed potatoes, sweet potato souffle, and pistachio salad.
-Met Santa again this year, but it did not go well.  He would not let P put him in Santa's lap, so P made an unexpected appearance in Grayson's Santa picture this year.
