15 Monnths



Ben had his 15 month checkup this week. He weighs 24 pounds and is 32 inches tall. Which puts him in the 50% for his weight and 75% for his height. He is growing way to fast! I feel so bad for my little man, he started to develop a cough at the first of the week and was not acting like the happy guy he usually is, I thought it was perfect timing because of his wellness visit. Well turns out that he has a Double ear infection! And we had no clue!
I started to teach Ben sign language a long time ago, but gave up because I didn't feel like he was catching on. Well, when we moved into our new ward there is a little girl that is awesome with her sign language. So Doug and I decided to give it another shot. Its so exciting because he is doing it all the time. The other day while we were at Target, Doug had Ben in his arms, and Ben pointed over to the food court and signed "more" and "eat". So Doug walked back over to me, took his wallet back and said that because Ben asked without me encouraging him, he could have whatever he wanted! It was hilarious! I think it was probably one of those things that you had to be there to think was funny.

I thought it was funny!!!

Are you using signing time? We wanted to get some of the videos. I am glad that you are doing it, I am excited to start.

I thought it was funny too. And that's awesome that you teach him sign language. I think that would have been so helpful with a couple of my kids that sruggle with saying some of their letters. Everyone has such a hard time understanding them until they finally grow out of it.

I LOVE Baby Signing Time!!! I don't know if you are using these videos or are just teaching him on your own, but these videos are amazing. Isabelle loves them!!! Right now she nows the signs more and milk. It is crazy how she picks these signs up really from just watching the show.
