15 months!
As promised here is a long time coming up date on Antonio! He recently went in for his 15 month Well Child visit. As expected he is growing! His current stats are:
Height: 31.5 (63.88%)
Weight: 27lbs 12oz (87.38%!!)
Head: 48 cm/18.9" (74.28%)
He clearly is still a good eater! In fact he will eat anything you put in front of him except apples; weird I know. He loves both applesauce and apple juice but if you put a piece of apple in front of him he won't touch it, in fact if you try to feed it to him he turns his head! Very weird considering he's liked portabello mushrooms, asparagus, fish and everything else! Maybe it's a texture thing, who knows. As far as height, it has slowed a bit, his height/weight used to stay pretty much the same percentile until a few months ago. The doctor doesn't have any concern for it though.
However, the doctor is a bit concerned he isn't talking yet. He hasn't said any words/word yet. Neither Albert or I are much talkers so maybe we just need to talk more. She, the dr., gave us a phone number of a "birth to 3 Early Intervention" program that is federal/state run to have them come out and evaluate Antonio. : ( He seems to understand some things, like "light", "no" his name, lets go and a couple other things but if you ask him to bring you a book or something he doesn't seem to understand. I figure it doesn't hurt to call them, especially if its a "free" program! We'll see. As some of you have seen, he is a very smart boy so it's not that he is "lacking" per say but just not talking. Regardless, I will keep you posted on if we decide to try it out.
Antonio walks EVERYWHERE! In fact he is starting to run or walk very fast. He is starting to want to walk instead of being carried now too. I am not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet! :/
He has recently decided to NOT sleep through the night anymore. :/ We had a great stretch of about 2 months, then he got sick; fever, throwing up and nasty cold and hasn't done very good at sleeping through ever since. He's also cut 4 teeth in the past month or so. I'm just ready for an uninterrupted night of sleep! We are still doing swim lessons but this month, October, will be our last month until after Christmas and then we will have to see how the weather is.
He is turning into such a Papa's boy! He absolutely loves his Papa! They play all the time; chasing, tickling, "getting" each other, it is so, so cute. Antonio loves it if you follow him around with a blanket behind him, a big blanket, and then he will turn around, fall on it and want you to pull him around on it. So cute yet so weird! There is so much love between them and there's always giggling between the both of them!

A bit overwhelmed
Again, it has been awhile since I have posted. Ever since I went back to work my "to do" list has grown longer. Then the middle of last month my 1 co-worker left on a medical leave and has been out ever since so I have been working full weeks. Meanwhile, between busy weekends, swim lessions and life, the blog has taken a back seat. It is one of the many things I have been meaning to do but just haven't found the time to do it; especially since Antonio LOVES the computer. Since we Skyped with my parents while they were gone and continue to "try" to Skype with Albert's mom he always wants to see who is on the screen and "bang" on the keyboard. Not a good thing, as you may know, Apple computers don't come cheap! :/
It looks as if I may be catching a bit of a break. Starting next week I will start having Friday's off....for now. It will give me a chance to catch up on some cleaning/laundry and grocery shopping that I haven't been doing on the weekends and then have the weekend free! My co-worker is not back yet (he could use some prayers, he is diabetic and had to have his big toe amputated beacuse of an ugly infection) but my boss was able to work it so I could have a day off a week! I am/was feeling like I got up, went to work, got home, made dinner, spent maybe an hour with Antonio, got him ready for bed, showered, cleaned the kicthen, tried to watch a Tivo'd show, go to bed, REPEAT. TO top it off Antonio has decided he doesn't like sleeping through the night anymore so I am so tired on top of it. It isn't/wasn't fun! So now I will be able to spend more time with Antonio, which is HUGE and do those things!! I'm so excited! I really don't know how the rest of all the working mom's do it; I really don't.
So with all that being said, I will try to follow this blog up with an Antonio update. After all, this blog is about him!!!
