Layla, Finn, Cora and Kellan Schaefer's blog, for all the family members far and near who miss and love them...and who don't mind such a shamelessly Schaefer children-centered space.

Finn @ 15 months:
We had Finn's 15 month Dr. appointment on Monday afternoon. Here are his stats:
Weight: 13.2%
Height: 20.68%
Weight-compared-to-height: 42.96%
Head: 72.15%
So, clearly he's not leaping off the charts...that's just his forehead...but he's doing just fine otherwise. He has just discovered that he likes avocado, so I'm hoping that I can beef him up a little with all those good fats.
I think at his 18 month appointment I might request that we also have him tested for allergies. He seems to have even more sensitive skin than Layla does, and I have a strong suspicion he is allergic to dogs and nuts, or at least "intolerant" of them. We'll see what else might be on the list. Bummer. He is still not eating any eggs, dairy, nuts, honey, etc. I'd love to know if eggs are safe for him, and if he likes avocado I bed I could get him to eat cheese...so I'm dying to know if those things will ever be an option for him. Where did I get these kids with food allergies from??? It doesn't run in either family, right? Maybe our genes created the perfect storm of allergies? Who knows. :)
Finn's 15 month milestones could include trying to kill himself in any way possible, but especially by climbing on dangerous things and then launching himself off of them, and also overcoming his fear of water enough to ALSO try to end his earthly life by walking into a lake right over his head. MERCY this one is going to give me a run for my money! He is deceptively sweet. ;)
