Kyler is 15 months old!

Only 3 more months until Kyler goes into nursery at church! (Not that we are counting down or anything! :) )
Today he had his 15 month appointment and seems to be doing great! The only thing that the doctor was still slightly concerned about was his eczema. (mostly behind his knees) But he knows Winter is the worst months for it....so come summer, it should clear up well again. Hopefully he's able to outgrow all that itching more and more each year.

For the grandparents (and all others interested) :) here are his stats:
Height: 32 inches 75th percentile - He's grown almost 2 inches since he turned 1!
Weight: 25.4 lbs 70th percentile- He continues to drop in this category. He's only gained a pound since 1! But I guess when you start above the 90% there isn't much room for going up is there? Don't worry though, no one who has to carry him anywhere is complaining! :)
Head: 49 1/2cm 97th percentile- Yes, he has a Mealey head!
I was nervous he was behind with speaking but the doctor said that 5 words was the average at this age. And as I thought more, he does say more than I thought. Here are some of the words Kyler says...."Mama, Mommy, and Mom". Guess we know what is important to him huh? For milk he says "BaBa", and he definitely says "DaDa." Don't forget the "Uh oh" as he thows stuff off his tray, "No No" while shaking his head, and "That" while poiting to just about anything. Just this week he also says "Moo" when we pass some fields with cows near our house, and "Ball" I think has become his new favorite. Needless to say I think he's doing just fine.
He's amazing at following simple instructions too. Like, "go get your shoes," or "put your blankie in your room," or "let's go take a bath." But almost without fail if we ask a question the answer is "NO." Even if he means yes! :)
While Kyler is a handful, he really is such a blessing in our family. He and Jaden are playing together better and better all the time. I'm so glad to see him smile everyday! (He didn't enjoy that Hot chocolate near as much as his brother obviously did! :) ) When he's happy, he sure is the most fun to be around. But don't let that face fool you, he can throw quite the tantrum if he wants to. I wonder where he gets that part of his personality from? :) We love you bud!

oh, and don't forget that if you ever say anything sarcastic or "rude" about Kyler while Jaden is listening, you'll get a glare from Jaden and he'll say "don't say that! Kyler is my best friend!" :-) So adorable!!! Love them!

Glad that Kyler's doing well. He is such a cutie. I love his infectious little smile. We miss you guys, let's play again soon!

What a cutie. Mel...he looks like you! I love it!

Maybe it seems like he isn't talking a ton because Jaden talked a lot and early for his age.
