The Lindvall Family: 15 months

Connor is officially 15 months as of the 16th of November! I'm technically not too late, as I started this post awhile ago, but just never got around to finishing it.

Connor has a sweet personality, but also tends to get a bit feisty when it comes to his sister or when he doesn't get what he wants. This boy loves a good song and often wants me singing throughout the day. We sing to him before putting him to bed for naps and at bedtime. He is quite picky and we usually have to go through 5-10 songs to get the one he wants!

In addition to singing, Connor has really gotten into reading. His favorite books are: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Brown Bear Brown Bear, or Howie. He will get books, bring them over to us, and sit down. He is very impatient and doesn't like it when we read books to Elli.

Connor's favorite game is chase. He loves it when you chase him and usually giggles the whole time. Lately, he's also gotten into hiding. Connor is also quite the dancer....as soon as music comes on you can expect that he's dancing.

That boy has some rhythm!!

Connor continues to go to bed around 7:30 and he typically wakes up anywhere from 7:00 to 8:30. His naps are usually 2 to 3 hours long. However, one reason I haven't gotten around to finishing up this blog is the fact that Connor has been sick and our wonderful naps have either been cut down to 30 minutes or in half....as in today and I completely blame the albuterol for that one....more on that later!

We had Connor's 15 month well-visit last Tuesday and he checked out perfectly. He is 20 lbs 6 oz (10-25the percentile...and he's not really 20 lbs. anymore....lost some weight since then...poor kid) and 31 inches long (50th percentile). He is also in the 50th to 75th percentile for head circumference. Connor still turns his right leg out while walking from when it was broken, but the Dr. doesn't seem concerned at all about it....he'll check on it again at his 18 mo. appointment. He received his MMR and chicken pox vaccination and had a finger prick. It was a rough appointment from the very start for Connor....he's not so much a doctor fan! He is working on all 4 molars right now in addition to some more teeth! He is repeating/saying the following words, "dada, papa, all done, open, up, ball, down, cookie, tractor, cracker, yes."

As far as Connor's health, he has had quite the week. We've made 2 trips to the dr. and go back again next week. The doctors are thinking that Connor has bronchiolitis right now, but said that it is very likely that he will be diagnosed with asthma in the future when he is a bit older. He is on breathing treatments 3 times a day and an oral steroid 2 times a day. Although the breathing treatments aren't really helping with the wheezing, the doctors do feel that it is helping him breathe better. I'm really, really hoping this helps him feel better soon. I feel horrible for Connor, but lets be honest....this mama can only take so much fussiness and little to no napping (oh and not to mention....the one good nap he had yesterday was ruined by the fact that I had to wake him up and take him to the dr. appointment). So from here on out, we've been instructed to give Connor breathing treatments whenever we hear the wheezing, which has happened at least 3 other times since his bout with RSV/brochiolitis back in February.
