A (really late) 15 month update!

Tristan turned 15 months on June 5, so this is a really late update, but I figured better late than never, huh?! Tristan went to his 15 month check-up to find out that he had his first ear infections :( Today is June 27 and we're STILL taking meds for these ear infections. Hopefully this will be the last round! He DID NOT like being poked and prodded, getting weighed, measured, etc... He weighed 22.1 lbs (17%) and was 32 1/2 inches long (87%). The kid can't stay still enough to gain weight! In three months, he gained one pound, but the doctor wasn't worried. He's just active!

Some info about the past three months!

- Sleeps from 7:00 to anytime between 6:45-8:00, although 8:00 is very rare (but Mom sure likes it!). Takes one nap in the afternoon, usually 2 hours, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.
- Pretty much running now :) He also does very well with steps, even being able to step down off a curb without falling. He LOVES ramps for some reason -- just goes up and down, up and down.
- His favorite thing to do outside is play in the splash pads, which is just different water fountains shooting out of the ground. There is a small one close by that we go to more often, but the BIG ONE is so much fun but much further away.
- Some of his favorite foods now are cottage cheese, plain yogurt, eggs (especially frittatas with salsa), pasta with tomato sauce, tomatoes, corn on the cob, watermelon, strawberries, and, of course, bananas. But cottage cheese is probably his all-time fav!
- He LOVES books and having us read to him. However, if we get past the first few pages, we are doing good! His attention span isn't the greatest... I've had to hide some of his books because I got SO TIRED of reading them and got some new books from the library.
- He is developing a love of cars, trucks, tractors, etc... A true boy!
- Teaching him sign has been useful at times and really frustrating at times. He seems to get a lot of signs confused or will all of a sudden use one sign for EVERYTHING. "Milk" right now is also for "fish", "water", and some other things that I still haven't figured out :)
- He HAS TO BE entertained. He is NOT a boy who can entertain himself very long. He seems to enjoy other children, so I'm hoping having a brother will really help out some day!
- He still doesn't talk a lot -- "ba" for his beloved pillow (not sure why), pee pee :), nononono, go-go-go, and some other words he sounds like he's trying to say...but he understands wonderfully!
- He's a mess, definitely, but he's a funny boy! Enjoy the pictures!
