Callen had his 15 month Dr. Appointment today. He weighed in at 29 pounds 13 ounces (100% for age) and was 2 feet 9 inches long (97% for age). In other words he is a big boy. People comments about Callen's size are usually, "Wow, he's a big boy!", "He's a tank!", He's solid!". My response, "Yeaaaaaa, not sure what I fed him." He had three vaccines, which he does not like! He's mad as ever when the needles are in his legs but as soon as the nurse is done he's over it and back to normal. I think it stresses me out more than him. The nurses asked, "Is he always this happy?" Yes, I have a happy baby, thankfully. He passed all Dr. Tolba's questions. He is always impressed with Callen.
Callen's vocabulary is growing by the day. He is starting to repeat words I say. As we are reading a book, driving down the street, or in a store he is pointing out one thing after another.
He LOVES to dance. we practiced for a few weeks before Kelsey's wedding so we would get really good and man, he rocked the dance floor.
He is starting to like movies and cartoons. We watch sesame street and a couple Disney channel shows. He can sit still for about 10 minutes at time, which is huge.
He is completely obsessed with trucks. He points them all out. Any loud noise outside is a "truck" and he basically just says that word all day.
He loves music. He whines until I turn the car radio up. It can't just any song on the radio, it has to be a good song with a beat to it. He pumps his arms up and down. Single Ladies by Beyonce is actually his favorite song right now. #goodmom
He loves the park, pool, and beach. He thrives being outside.
He loved his beach toys. He carry's his two shovels around a lot.
He loves to laugh and smile. He finds the simplest things funny.
He remembers what happens in some of his books before we get to the page. For example, in Pat the Bunny he will put his finger up to his mouth and say, "Shhhhh" when bunny is sleeping.
Sometimes he's a good eater and sometimes he's not. Sometimes I wonder how he got so big because he will go on hunger strikes and eat hardly anything. Other times, he won't stop eating. His favorite is mac and cheese and strawberries. He loves all fruit.
His hair has gone from dark brown to bleach blonde tips. The summer sun has treated him well.
He wears a size 5 diaper and is in 18-24 month clothes.
He sleeps about 11 hours a night and sleeps though the night. He is taking two naps a day but seems he may be transitioning to one soon.
He loves all animals. We have a book of animals and watch The Lion Kings and Finding Nemo constantly.
He is still very social but does experience stranger or anyone but mom anxiety at times.
Callen fell asleep playing with his truck.
Im getting a hug!
My blonde baby.
He could live in the dirt and bushes if I let him.
Drinking ocean water.
Trying to eat candy through the wrapper.
His dream come true, a ginormous "Truck".
