Happy 15 Month Birthday Bennett!

Bennett turned 15 months like 3 weeks ago so I thought it was time to post his 15 month update! :) He had his check up last week and it went really well. He weighs 19lbs. 9.5oz- 3rd percentile and his length is 30 inches which at the 10th-15th percentile. Dr. Nau said that if his length continues on this curve he should end up being around 5 foot 7 or so! Wouldn't that be fantastic?!

He will have his iron and vitamin D levels checked in a couple of weeks to make sure they are where they need to be. He continues to do really well in therapy. Right now we are working hard on cruising and walking with assistance. He struggles with knowing how to shift his weight from side to side and is a lot stronger on his left side than his right. We may have another lefty in the family! He is doing great with walking while holding onto someone's hands. Last week he learned how to get to a sitting position independently so he has been practicing that non stop.

I thought I would take out some pics of Ethan at Bennett's age again. It is so fun to compare!
Here is a picture of Ethan:

Bennett. Definitely a difference in size!

Ethan all proud of himself.

Bennett in a predicament...ok, so I put him in there...

Don't mind the nudity in the background...potty training!

Hot stuff:)

Chillin...




Doesn't he look so cute standing at the couch?! And those jammies!!



Some words he has started saying: "dip,dip", book- "ba", "ball", he barks like a dog, although it sounds like a really annoying little yippy dog (nothing like our big scary pit bull!:), this, that, up, yes, kiss

It has been a great 15 months Bennett. You continue to amaze us and we thank God every day for you.

Yeah! He is so adorable and learning so much. I am so proud of him! I don't care how much smaller then Ethan he is...he is just as smart. You can see it in his eyes! Pretty soon he will be running to tackle Ethan to the ground! Let the real fighting begin! Love you Benne!

Yay! Love him sitting in that truck haha. And he may be little, but he's mighty! Maybe he'll be a wrestler or something when he's older...those little guys are hard to pin down! :-)

Wow - That's just a bit older than Ethan was when he started here - but he looks so little there!!! He's grown so much!

Happy 15 months Benne! Your Mama needs to be nicer to you - that truck is a toy! ;)
