Wow- pretty soon G will be 1 1/2. Crazy! We had our 15 month appt today a little late.Weight- 19lbs 11oz (less than 5th %)
Height- 30 inches! (15-20%!)
We are making some GREAT progress! Not much is changing in the weight department, but they had told me that would happen when he started getting taller! Since his 12 month check up he has gained almost 4 inches in height! CRAZY! He is really becoming a toddler. We are eating all sorts of things- mostly crackers and cereals- crunchy things but also as started working on french fries and blueberries! It seems he'll try something new every day. Still not much mushy textures, but that's ok. I can actually get quite a lot of healthy food in him- what 15 month old do you know that eats veggies daily? Mine! Since I can still feed him baby food, I can actually get quite a bit of nutrition in him too! We do about 6-8 oz of baby food or baby cereal 3 meals a day. He loves yogurt best of all.
Still only 6 teeth unlike Mira's 12 at this point! I can see another one coming in on the bottom which I think will help him eat more things.He never gets punished- he's WAY too cute for it, but I'm starting to realize that it's going to be a problem if we don't set some boundaries with him soon!
We don't say much- da, uh oh, hi, dog, woof, gah, ball (gall), baba (gaga). He is trying to say somethings but those are the only really consistent ones. Dr M says we need to keep an eye on his speech- he's normal for now but lots of kids with oral aversions end up speech delayed. 
He remains one of the sweetest babies out there although he has taken on some of M's more difficult aspects to compensate for her attention. He loves to be cuddled and he makes himself laugh quite a lot. He still takes 2 bottles a day although I really don't think he'd care if we took them away- he takes one at nap and one at bedtime. It's easy to get a lot of calories in him that way, so I don't worry about it much. He is all boy- he's started to try and jump on and off everything- he thinks jumping on the couch and falling down is hilarious. He doesn't tolerate the heat well at all- I assume it's his coloring and hair- red as ever! He gets beet red and really crabby. Can't stay out too much when it's this hot!
M wanted a picture too- eating her corndogs!

I think he looks great! You could have a GIANT for a baby. Melana is 23months old and is 35" tall and over appx 30lbs. She is a very big girl, however she doesnt eat much either, but is addicted to the bottle (that we are weaning). Her milk is her comfort.
I think G looks great and he does not look unhealthy at all. He will grow, he just needs to do it on his own time.
He is certainly one cute little boy!
