Quinn 14 and 15 Months

 


Age:  15 months and a few days.

Weight: 21 lbs.

Height: 30 inches.

Size: She's growing!  She still wears size 3 diapers, some 6-12m clothes, but more 12-18m clothes.  I think she'll be permanently in 12-18m when we need sleeves and long pants. She's wearing a size 3 shoe, but we'll be buying 4s soon!

Hair: Getting longer and blonder, still scraggly and uneven in spots, but I can't cut it yet.   Every once in a while there's a trace of a wave or curl, so maybe she'll have some curls at some point. 

Teeth: 12!  She added 4 teeth in the last 2 months.  All four top middle, all four bottom middle and her 4 one year molars are through.  She's drooly so I think more teeth will be on their way and then hopefully a break before the 2 year molars. 



Sleeping: Great! I love this girl!  She's so easy to put to sleep.  We put on pjs and she drinks her milk while we read books.  We give her a paci, a blanket, a book and lay her down in her crib and she doesn't make a peep until it's time to get up.  We feel pretty blessed in the sleep department!
She's still going to bed between 7 and 8pm and wakes for the day between 6:30 and 7:30am.  She's pretty consistently taking one long nap around noon for 1.5-3 hours.

Eating: She loves soy milk.  We tried mixing a little bit of whole milk for a few days but her diapers were gross, so we went back to straight soy and they're fine again.  She's definitely pickier when it comes to food, but when she likes something, she eats a ton of it. 

Movement: She's a walker, no longer a crawler.  She climbs on anything and everything and can get down safely from most spots by crawling down backward.  She has to be supervised constantly or we'll find her standing on the tables.  I wish I were kidding.  She can also open our doors now.  :)

Milestones: Walking, talking a ton, climbing down from heights safely, enjoys riding in the boat now.  Very feisty and opinionated.  She bites out of anger.  So far, it's been reserved solely for her brother.  She also pinches (purposely) and thinks it's funny.


shhh....don't tell Tyson! Quinny had his mower and his Jeep :)




Favorite toys/activities: Climbing, Tyson, brushing her teeth, exploring on her own.

Dislikes: Being told 'no', getting things taken from her, being tired or hungry.

Words: I don't know that I could possibly list out all of the words she says, but we have one very verbal little girl.  She points to things in books and names them...like boat, duck, piggy, kitty.  She calls Tyson 'Ty', courtesy of her big cousin, Morgan.  She says so much, all the time.  I'm absolutely floored by what she knows already.  I hate to compare kids, but she is so far past Tyson when it comes to speech at the same age.




See ya later!

Elkhart County Fair

This past Saturday, we visited my hometown fair in Goshen, Indiana. Tyson LOVED it, especially the animal barns! He waved to the animals, petted a few of them and tried to climb in their cages. He cried when we left each barn and went to the next one. He saw pigs, goats, sheep and rabbits. We also saw a pony and a cow, but not too close. I think the fair is going to be a yearly adventure for us.

Obviously not this year, but a vintage Fair sign


Checking out the piggies:

Petting the goats:

Trying to climb in the pen with the goats. Silly boy.



I thought this goat had kind of a pretty face. Am I crazy?


I think Jessica is loving the bunny more than Tyson.

Tyson and Aunt Jessica. Well, she's not really his aunt because she's not my biological sister, but we're as close as sisters as we can be. :)




A little friend hitched a ride on Tyson's stroller for a bit.


The little man in the Ergo. I love that thing!


We had a great time, ate lots of fantastic fair food and had so much fun watching Tyson with the animals. I hope Jessica can come back for a visit again next year!

Mr. Personality

This kid has the silliest faces!

Sorry about his gross nose...he finds getting it cleaned a form of pure torture.



Not sure what this is, but he does it ALL the time.

14 Months Old









Dear Tyson:

You are 14 months old and well into toddlerhood. You keep us on our toes everyday, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

You have not slowed down one bit and in fact, I think you're moving faster than ever. We spent 5 days with Grandma and Grandpa H at the lake and you kept them busy too. You and Grandma took lots of walks and collected acorns, rocks and sticks. I think they'll be finding rocks in various places for months to come. It made Uncle Reggie and Aunt Jaime realize what's in store for them when their baby girl arrives in October.

We celebrated your second Fourth of July holiday. You slept right through all of the fireworks even though we were worried that you would wake up from all of the noise. You played with your flag and rode around in your cousin Alli's wagon. It was a really hot and humid day, so you did not get to spend as much time outside as you would have liked.

Grandma tried to get you to try some new foods, but you did not care for the beets or cottage cheese. Maybe another time! You're still a great eater and you have not met a fruit that you don't like. Bananas and blueberries are your current favorites. Mama is still struggling to get you to eat your veggies, but I found a yogurt that has veggies in it. Luckily, you love yogurt and don't even know you're being tricked into eating your veggies!

Just this month, we've been swimming, to the park, on walks and on big trips in the car. You love to play outside and just be outdoors. For the most part, you are a happy little guy. You love to clap your hands, laugh and smile. You're getting pretty good at understanding us and while you've been talking for months, you're finally saying words that we can understand. You say mama, da-yi (daddy) and done.

You love Daddy so much right now. He is quite possibly your favorite person in the whole world. When you don't know where he is, you love to yell for him. We can't wait to see what you learn and figure out this month!

Happy 14 months sweet baby!

Love, Mama and Daddy
