15 Months

Today was Kyran's 15 month check-up.  It was a very uneventful check-up, which is always a good thing.  Here is a snapshot of Kyran:

Height - 32.5 inches (right around 80-90%)
Weight - 24 lb 6 oz (around 60-70%)
Head circumference: 19.75 inches (off the charts, as usual!)

Appetite: Kyran eats anything and everything.  He loves yogurt, fruit and crackers.  He's also a huge fan of popcorn (I know, I know, babies shouldn't have that) and raisins.  He would eat all day long, as long as he doesn't have to sit down.

Sleep: He goes to bed around 9:00 and now that we're on summer hours, he'll sleep until 9:00-10:00 in the morning (yes, I'm absolutely loving this)!  He also naps, either once or twice a day, depending on how early he wakes up.

Motor development: He is on the go, All. The. Time.  This kid doesn't stop moving from the time he gets up until the time his head hits the mattress.  He LOVES to climb!  This is a challenge for us, since Ben was never a climber (never, ever)!  We find Kyran on the chairs, the couch, the table, and the countertops.  He'll move chairs clear across the room if it means he'll gain access to a higher surface.  He is definitely different from Ben, but that's what makes our kiddos unique...and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Language: He is a bit slower in this than Ben was at his age, but that's to be expected with the second child.  He has a vocabulary of around 6-10 words, consisting of DaDa, MaMa, Linda (our babysitter), ball, thank you, Gampa (Grandpa Jim), Papaw (Papa Pat), kitty, doggy, and sometimes tractor.  Even with his limited vocabulary, he makes sure that we understand him...he has several levels of "scream" that he uses quite often!

Our little guy keeps us hopping and is ornery to the core, but he has a smile that can light up the room and his giggle melts our hearts.  We are so blessed to have two wonderful little boys!
