Ryan at 15 months

Ryan turned 15 months on May 9th. We went to the doctor for his well-baby appointment on the 12th. He weighs 20 lbs 5.5oz, still a skinny guy at about the 5% and 31 1/4 inches, which is between the 25-50%. He got 3 shots and the doctor said he is done with shots for a few years now, phew!

Ryan is walking around everywhere. He is learning to run, which is funny to watch:) He says lots of different things, though I am not sure how understandable he is to those that aren't around him all the time. He says - Mama, Dada, Dog, Ball, More, No, Pop, and a few others that I can't think of off the top of my head. We swear sometimes that he can say aligator, but it is ok if you don't believe me:) He is a very cheerful boy most of the time, though he is working on a few teeth right now, so he is grumpy sometimes. He is a great sleeper most of the time, though he wouldn't nap to save my life yesterday. He did sleep till 9:45 two different mornings last week. He loves to be outside. He is starting to throw temper tantrums sometimes when he doesn't get what he wants, which I think is TOTALLY overrated (and I know it is only going to get worse). We tried putting his food on a plate a few times today (instead of right on the highchair tray) and were amazed that he didn't try to throw the plate. We have been trying to work on a fork a little bit, but he mostly likes to hold the fork and eat with his hands. Oh well, in due time. Basically, Ryan is doing great and I am loving being a mom (even when Ryan wants his Grammy more than he wants me, which is pretty much anytime she is home).

We were so busy for a few weeks with trips here and there, that it has felt pretty uneventful to just hang out at home lately. We don't have any trips planned, but do hope to get some visits to friends scheduled soon:)
