15 Months Old!

15 Months Old
It has been 15 months since our little baby boy was born!!  And 2 YEARS since we became pregnant!  It's so crazy to think how fast time is flying by.  It's amazing how he's only been in our lives for a short time, but it's like every moment before he was born was just a dream.  It's hard to imagine our lives without him now. 

Allergies
I think Colin may have some seasonal allergies.  His nose has been a bit runny lately, but not sick-runny.  He may have a slight allergy to strawberries as well.  I'm not sure though because his skin doesn't break out around his mouth, he just gets a diaper rash.  Hopefully it is just that they are a little acidic.  He can have one and he's fine, but if I give him several, they burn his little bum.  His nose has also been a little runny at night time because he has 3 molars cutting right now.  He's been pretty calm with it until the last few nights.  Nothing a little Tylenol doesn't help though!  :-) 

Current Events
One of his favorite things to do right now is put the caps on his cups.  He will set the cup down, and put the cap on when he's done.  He likes to be helpful!  I was cleaning the patio doors the other day and he grabbed the paper towel from me and started wiping the window like I was!  He also likes to help me feed Diesel.  Even if he does it one nugget at a time! 

Yesterday my mom came over and when I put Colin's car seat in the car, I decided to let him sit forward since we weren't going far.  I know a lot of people face their children forward at 12 months or 20 pounds, but all the recommendations now say they should stay rear facing until they are 24 months or 35 pounds.  Anyway, I put him in it forward and he LOVED it!  He was smiling and happy and kept trying to get our attention.  I think I may go ahead and switch him to front facing in our car now.  He's about 30 pounds and tall.  So I really think he will be OK.

Finally, about a month ago we weaned Colin completely off formula.  We slowly weaned him because he was so picky at first.  We were down to 1 oz formula in 7 oz of whole milk when we tried a cup of just milk and he drank it all.  It's SO much cheaper!  He's still picky about it needing to be warm though. He will NOT drink it cold! lol

Once we run out of the size 4 diapers we have now we are going to buy size 5 diapers.  Size 5 diapers are for children who weigh 27 lbs and up, so they should fit him very well!  :-)  I need to start buying new jammy's for him as well.  He has grown out of all his 12 month pj's, and fits perfectly in his 18 month jammy's, so I guess I need to buy some 24 month ones.  His legs are short though, so in regular clothes, he can still wear some 12 month pants, but he needs 18-24 month tops! 

Well, I think that's everything!  Colin has his 15 month appointment on Friday morning, so I'm sure I'll update again then!
