15 month check up

Last Monday was Reagan's 15 month check up. He weighed in at 20.4 pounds and is 31" tall. He is in the 5th percentile for his weight and is in the 75th percentile for his height! Since Dr. Day, his pediatrician, was also my pediatrician from the time I was in 4th grade until the time I was in high school, she reminds me that she remembers what I looked like as a child and it's not too different from how Reagan looks now.

Reagan eats pretty much everything that we have put in front of him so far and he eats ALOT. Some of his favorite things right now are: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, avocado, banana, strawberries, black berries, lemons (he will just keep chewing on them until we take them away, and pretty much any sort of meat. He also LOVES ketchup. He eats everything without it, but he really eats it once it has a little bit of ketchup on it.

He is doing pretty well feeding himself these days. Last weekend, we got him a little metal spoon and fork set because he's been very interested in using ours. He really enjoys using them.

Darrell and I both took off work yesterday. My Mom was attending her 45th college reunion, so we had no baby sitter. We are also starting our search for a daycare for Reagan. Now that he is really walking well and into everything, we think now will be a good time to get him into a day care and get him socializing with other kids. We visited 4 on Friday and there was only one that we marked off the list completely. There was one that really stood out. It is not as convenient as the others, but for the money, we think that it will probably be the best of the other 3.

In other news, I went to the doctor for my yearly check-up on Good Friday and I weigh 2 pounds less than when I first got pregnant. I am so thrilled with that. Running consistently and eating the right things (and limiting my baked goods) has paid off. I am wearing a size 6 right now, but am right on the edge of being back in a 4, which I NEVER thought I'd see again!

I ran the Capitol 10K a couple of weeks ago. This is my 4th year in a row to run that race and it is definitely one of my very favorite races. I ran my best time for the Cap 10K yet at 1:13:09. Today, I ran the Texas Round Up 10K, which is a very hilly course, and I finished in 1:16:36. Last year, on that same course, it took me 1:31:29 and I walked ALOT. I didn't walk near as much this year and felt so much better this year! I've got a couple of more 5K's scheduled for the next couple of weeks. I really want to keep a good running base over the summer because I'd like to do the San Antonio Rock N'Roll Half Marathon that is on November 14, 2010. That would require that I keep my good base that I've got right now (running 3 miles 2-3 times per week and 5-6 miles on the weekend) and then starting in August, I will start to increase my mileage each week to work up to the half marathon. Hopefully, this summer will not be as hot as last summer and it will be easier!
