Way behind....

Since Michael is taking his second nap of the day (which he doesn't normally do) and we are at the beach, I decided to post some pictures to catch up on the blog. Michael will be 16 months on the 27th of June. He just had his 15 month check-up last week and he is doing really well. They put him on reflux medicine again in order to neutralize some of the acid problems he is having again. Our pediatrician said we can take him off of it ourselves when we start to see a change. Just one week of being on the medicine has seemed to make a difference for him. I don't have his measurements with me right now, but I remember his percentiles....45 percentile for weight, above 95th for both length and head. Michael is saying new words every day. His favorites (off the top of my head) are: mommy, daddy, kitty, doggy, step, please, no no, cookie, and many other random words. We have also learned that he has some "substitute words" such as baby/bobby for mommy and dee-dah for daddy. He will flip between calling us by mommy/daddy and bobby/dee-dah. We are definitely entertained by him constantly. He can get up and down stairs, open our screen doors (letting our cat out), run in the sand without falling much (I found out yesterday), and he is doing really well using a fork and spoon while eating. As you can see we are already enjoying the summer.
Michael LOVES the beach, the pool, the playground, sand,` and walking around the neighborhood without a stroller.
