The Yerkes' Life: February 2012

I am finally getting around to Logan & Paige's 15 month update. They are both doing so many new things and are so much fun! We had a great appointment, except for the shots of course. Logan also had his heart appointment at Texas Child.ren's this past Tuesday. The doctor was very pleased with his ECHO and said that everything still looks great. Woohoo! His heart size and heart function are still completely normal so now we don't have to go back for another appointment until next year. Yay!

21 lbs & 31 1/4 inches
Still wearing some 12 month clothes. Mostly wearing 12-18 months and 18 month shirts
Still wearing size 5 shoes
Size 3 diapers during the day and size 5 at night
Bedtime is still around 7:00 and he wakes up in the morning between 7:30-8:15 usually
Still takes 2 naps
Now has 14 teeth...I think
Eats like a champ :-)
He will go and stand by his highchair if we say "Let's go eat breakfast or lunch or dinner"
He will also go stand by the pantry door if I say "Let's have a snack"
His favorite snack right now is Rit.z crackers
Favorite place to eat out is Luby's (who doesn't love Luby's ?!)
He tries to put his shoes and socks on
LOVES to help me unload the dishwasher
Likes to help me put clothes in the dryer and especially loves to shut the dryer door (or any door for that matter) :-)
He does really well with following simple commands like asking him to go get something or to take something to Paige, even if it's in another room
Just this past weekend he started trying to use a spoon by himself and he is doing really well with it
He is still so cuddly and sweet
His blue seahorse (looks like a gloworm) is his lovey. We do not go anywhere without it and we always have an extra one on hand
There are several words that he says but of course they're hard to understand (dog, light, here, lion, zebra, drink, duck)
He still loves to read books and he loves his animal puzzles
He does really well with pointing to objects or animals that you ask him to find in a book, on a puzzle or on his flashcards
