-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.
-For dinner, we still struggle getting Grayson to eat any sort of meat. In order to get him to eat meat, we still give him some Stage 3 Gerber meals. We were also very excited this month that Grayson added eggs and peanut butter to things that he will eat! He even ate breakfast burritos with sausage in them when we were at Grandma's house! We are very happy to add that protein to his diet.
-teething-NO TEETH this month (officially) - He was working on the last two though, and slept like he was teething for a majority of the month.
-blowing kisses on command - well - when he feels like doing it. He understands what we mean when we tell him to blow a kiss, though.
-sleeping poorly. I think Gray ended up in bed with us almost every night of this month somewhere between the 2am-5am part of the night.
-taking afternoon naps that are anywhere from 1 1/2-3 hours long.
-pretty bad at daycare drop-off. He does calm down pretty easily for his teachers, but ever since his favorite teacher left (she is back, but not at 7am much these days), he has thrown a fit when we leave him.
Word Count:
-"uh oh, ball, hot" appropriately and some mama & dada
-sometimes we think we hear words like "Jack", "dog","bye-bye"
-will sign: more, all done, his own version of please, and hungry/food
Other notables:
-At Gray's 15 month appointment, he was diagnosed with another ear infection. When we got home from Dallas after the holidays, we took him to the Dr. again and he had double ear infections again. We are not sure if this was the same one from his prior appointment, or if they were new.
-Travel this month - Dallas for Christmas/New Years Eve
-Santa brought Grayson a tricycle for Christmas and he loves it! When it has been too cold outside, Grayson is happy to just sit in the tricycle while we push him around the house. He would let us push him for hours I believe!
-Gray can identify his nose, ear, eye, mouth (most of the time)
-The temper tantrums are coming. He lets out a big wail when we stop him from doing something he wants or doesn't get his way. Luckily we can distract him out of it pretty easily right now.
-Grayson loves our Ipad apps that have animal sounds. He sits still for quite a while to look at the pictures and hear the sounds, although, he has started to realize that there is button at the bottom of the Ipad, and he likes to push it. Of course, that means that it takes us out of whatever app we are looking at - even his animal sounds app.
-Gray is dancing like a mad man. His current fave is Justin Bieber, but most songs with a beat will get him going!
-We have a climber. He is starting to climb on things, but I am sure this is just the beginning...
-Grayson is starting to build up a little attention span. He will sit still for a little while with us on a couch or in the bed (we're talking like 10 minutes max)
-Grayson has always been comforted when we walk outside. P figured out early on that we could get Gray to calm down by taking him outside. He wants to be outside whenever possible these days. He is happy to stand in our driveway or explore the neighbor's lawn. We don't have to take any toys outside with us for him to be a happy baby.
-We spent Grayson's 16 monthday at Kemah with my parents. He had a great time walking on the boardwalk and stopping to dance to the music that they pump through the area.
