Here are some things that are going on with our little boy ~
He eats just about anything under the sun - but we avoid things that are choking hazards such as peanuts and now we are avoiding mango because it gives him a rash on his face. He goes through phases where he doesn't like a certain vegetable or meat but if we try it again at another time, he likes it. He seems to like a lot of the same things I like, pastas and casserole dishes (you know, the good fattening stuff) and he dances in his seat or happily kicks his feet or hums/sings when he is eating something good - just like Mommy. As snacks, he loves grapes, blueberries, pears, goldfish, cheerios, graham crackers and especially cheese sticks.
He has 4 teeth on top, 3 on the bottom, his 4th on the bottom is finally coming in and he has 3 molars coming in and possibly one of his eye teeth. I can't tell for sure because he won't let me look in his mouth for very long. But these teeth are giving us some trouble - he's been whiny, tired, clingy, his sleep is all out of whack and they are causing some pickiness when it comes to food.. Plus they are causing him to be majorly attached to the pacifier! I'm dreading taking it away but I know it needs to be done sooner rather than later!
Knows where his tongue, belly, hair, eyes, nose and ears are - but rarely will he point to his nose or ears. He likes pointing out his tongue and hair the most. He knows how to show us "gentle" by rubbing our faces softly with his hand - something he was taught after trying to hit Mommy in the face :-/
He now runs and it's just about the cutest thing ever - seriously, this is probably my favorite thing to watch! He hops when he's naked just out of the bath because he's a goofball like that.
His vocabulary consists of hi (that sounds like "aye"), mama, dadda, bah (for ball), nana (for food or pacifier), app (for apple), up, OoooOOhh when he sees something that he likes or is pretty, and also says "moo" when we ask what a cow says. Well, actually it's more like "booooo" but he's getting it. And I know he understands a lot more than he can say. He will pick things up if asked and throw things away - he threw his diaper away in his diaper genie (on his own without prompting and without us even teaching him)! And he will run to the bathroom when we say it's time for a bath or run to his room when we say it's time to put pajama's on. I never know what he pays attention to or picks up on until he does things like this out of no where.
His favorite book is Moo by Matthew Van Fleet. He has torn the book apart! We may need to get some similar ones for Christmas. He loves the dish washer and will come running when he hears it open. He loves dancing and going outside. He has fun throwing things up in the air - usually it's his Lovie that he throws up and backwards, especially when he's showing off. And of course he loves playing peek-a-boo with his Lovie, especially with Pappy. He likes riding on his little sit and go cars. And climbing - oh the climbing. I honestly see a trip to the ER in our future :-/
He is obsessed with my keys. We have to hide the keys now because he'll cry and whine until we hand them to him - and now he knows that if he pushes the top button on the Pilot key that it will honk in the driveway. I'm sure the neighbors love us.
At his 15 month appointment he was 26.5 lbs (75th %) and 31.5" (30th%). And it seems he's on track with everything!
This ottoman is behind the couch and he knows how to climb up on it now.
He likes to pop his head up over the couch and surprise us.
