Stats: Finally things have slowed down a little here, but still big for his age. 25lbs 8oz (85th %) and 32.5 inches (92nd %) tall. He is mostly wearing 24 month size clothing. We went and got his feet measured over Christmas , as now that he is walking he needs some real shoes, and he is a 5.5w...at 15 months!!!
Sleep: Things are very consistent with sleep. He sleeps a solid 12 hours at night, sometimes a little longer and take a 2 to 3 hour nap after lunch. Now that he has started walking and burning more energy he is sleeping like a rock.
Social: I have been slacking in this department. We stopped going to storytime on Tuesday mornings as the time just didn't work out with dropping of and picking up Chase from preschool. I am currently looking for somewhere else to take him. With the holidays we haven't gotten together with friends much but normally we see his little friend Isabelle once a week and of course he sees Chase's friends also. He does a rough time when we leave him in Sunday school as he and Chase are in different rooms. Hopefully with continuing to keep taking him there he will soon get to be comfortable and have fun.
Diet: His fussy stage is over, thank goodness!! I chalk it up to teething as once his bottom one year molars popped through he started eating everything in sight. He doesn't eat the variety of veggies that Chase eats but he devours broccoli, carrots and peas so that's good enough to me. I do manage to sneak other varieties in with the pouches. He loves fruit and will eat it all day long. He is also a fan of Mexican and Chinese...cultured eater ya know. Oh and he seemed to really enjoy his Yorkshire pudding on Christmas day.
Skills/Milestones: We have a walker!!!! Asher had been taking a few unassisted steps here and there for a few weeks then on Dec 18th he decided to come waddling in to the playroom where Chase and I were, all the way from the family room! Of course we all erupted in praise and clapping, and he started to cry lol. Since that day he hasn't stopped and is almost running. He LOVES his new found freedom, especially at the mall playground.
I want to say it was around the beginning of December that I gave Asher a fork, on a whim, and would you believe he picked it up, stabbed his food and ate. I think he loves doing things just like big brother Chase.
His speech is amazing! He says something new everyday and even 'sings' now. Some of the new words he says are: Thomas, train, lights, tree, up, down, sit, Chase, Asher, orange, apple, Santa.
Favorites: Mummy, Daddy, Chase, trains, throwing and kicking a ball, wrestling with Daddy and Chase, minions, hats, coloring.
This is without a doubt, my favorite age with our Asher so far. He is just so so happy all of the time. I love to watch him walking around and babbling while playing ball. He is just so adorable and we are beyond blessed to have him as our son. His laugh, when he gives me a kiss, the way he looks up to Chase, just everything about him is perfect.
I hope and pray he never looses his sheer determination, his big big heart and the twinkle in his eye. He is just the best!
