15 Months

I don't think I've done a 'monthly update' in about 3 months...sorry!  Here is a 'quarterly update' :)

Weight:  24lbs 8 oz (50th percentile)
Height:  32 in (75th percentile)
Head Circumference:  47.5 cm (60th percentile)

Dutch is still long and lean.  Dr. Esparza said he looks great!  Although he is still short on hair.  He asked if we had given Dutch a haircut yet, I laughed.  Dutch got 4 shots today :(  It was not a happy time for the little guy, but after a few hours he seems to have fully calmed down.  Or it could be the tylenol I gave him when we got home.

Well, here are some pictures and fun facts about our little Dutch.

He is only taking one nap a day now.  He wakes up anywhere between 5:00a and 6:15a and is ready for a nap at noon.  Occasionally I'll try to keep him up so that he can see Dan at lunch, that doesn't usually work.  As you can see, when Dutch is ready for his nap he does not kid around.



He also really likes to wear things that are out of the norm.  Like the saddle from his bouncy horse.  He likes to have it strapped onto his back and he walks around looking like he is on some kind of adventure.  He also likes to have things put on his head.  It doesn't matter what it is, he wants you to put it on his head.  He thinks he is sooo cool when he has something on his head.





He still loves to play "Where's Dutch?"  Sometimes he will hide behind something and sometimes we will, but either way he knows when the game has started and he will start peeking around things to find you.  When he does find you he squeals and stiffly runs away laughing.



Lastly, he is learning words like crazy.  Here is a very brief list of some of his most common words.
  • Nanatu - Banana
  • Wawa Bah-ul - Water Bottle
  • Hair
  • Ear
  • Eyshes - Eyes
  • Teeth
  • Toe
  • Knee
  • Sheep
  • Baa
  • Dog
  • Woof
  • Bmmm - Moo
  • Hi
  • Bye bye
  • Dada
  • and the newest addition Mama
Again this is a very very abbreviated list, he is talking constantly...and for right now we love it :)

Dutch's 4th Birthday Party

Image
For Dutch's birthday we decided to go to San Angelo and visit with Dan's family.  We had a great time! I think Dutch had a good time too, he definitely enjoyed his birthday party. We arrived Thursday evening with a couple of HUNGRY little boys.  After we got them fed they played for a bit and then it was time for bed.  On Friday we just hung out around the house and prepared for his birthday on Saturday.  We did go out for dinner to Catfish Corner though...YUM!  I, of course, did not have catfish.  I usually get their chicken strips which are really good, but this time I went with a cheeseburger and it was really good too.  Everyone else had their catfish and said it was delicious.  Dan decided to do one over on them.  He ordered the 'All You Can Eat' plate, but he refused to fill up on the sides, he went full on with the catfish.  I think he stuffed down about 12 pieces! On Saturday, we got right to work getting things ready for tha...

Unexpected Adventure

Image
We went to hang out in the river at the Berry's house after nap time.  They have a great spot that is only a few inches deep, is covered in smooth rocks, and the water flows nicely.  The boys really like it there, especially when they are allowed to throw rocks. While we were there a few weeks ago the wind picked up.  I handed Baker to Dan so I could get out of the water.  The wind made Baker cold and he was clinging to Dan so tight!  They made their way back to the car while I got Dutch out of the water.  By the time Dutch and I got to the car Baker was sitting in the open trunk wearing Dan's shirt. Once we go the boys dried off a bit we got into the car.  Soon the rain started.  We had so much fun sitting in the car watching the rain! It was a wonderfully unexpected adventure.

On the Train!

Image
Dutch and I went for our first train ride today.  We had a blast!  Dutch loved every minute of it, he was all wide eyes and smiles.  He named all the train cars we saw (he chose names from his How to Train a Train book).  Our train car was named Nathan.  Santa made an appearance about half way through the two hour trip.  A little while later Mrs. Claus gave us some yummy sugar cookies.  It was an awesome day and I'm so glad I was able to share it with Dutch! {We've got our tickets, now we have to wait to board the train} {Dutch got very cold while we waited} {Finally, we are on the train} {They read us a story about the train ride} {Santa!} {Santa gave him a train whistle, all the kids were blowing them on the train} {Mrs. Claus is handing out cookies} {We are on our way back to the station}
