15 months

My handsome little squish turned 15 months old and recently had his check-up. He is growing well at 31 3/4 inches tall and 22 pounds 7 ounces. Wyatt's height is above average and his weight is slightly below average. Even though he looks super squishy to us (and much bigger than Noah ever did) he actually hasn't gained a ton of weight since he started his puking episodes at around 6 months old.

We have an allergist appointment coming up (the result of a possible egg allergy while we were out of town) and probably another visit to the gastroenterologist to look into his super sensitive gag reflux. So many things seem to set him off including: having a cold and coughing on phlegm, coughing too hard for any reason, laughing too hard and getting hiccups, crying too hard and getting hiccups, sticking his fingers or an object too far in his mouth, someone else sticking their fingers in his mouth, eating or drinking anything with ascorbic acid, eating too much (he doesn't know when to stop), eating something he seems to be allergic to (read: the egg incident), and being actually sick with a stomach bug. I hope we find a solution or at least an answer soon because I hate watching him puke so much.

Otherwise, he seems to be hitting all his milestones quickly and has quite a sporty side. I think he's going to be a little all-star when he gets older.

Family Pics

We had an unseasonably warm weekend at the end of October, so I seized the opportunity to get a few family pictures done. The sun was being a little troublesome, so there are unfortunate shadows in some of the pictures, but I think they came out pretty good anyways. Thanks to my cousin Karen for offering us her time and photography talents!



























After about an hour the boys started to get cranky.



Nick too.

Boo at the Zoo and a Lion too

We went to Boo at the Zoo back in October. We picked the best day - cool and drizzly - and we didn't have to deal with any crowds. Noah made friends with a lion, which I think he thought was super cool. Make sure to check out the video of the lion pacing back and forth right in front of him.
