15 Months


Do I seriously have a 15 month old? I can't believe it! He is growing up so fast and learning new things everyday. We went to his check up last week and the second the nurse came in for shots he started bawling it was so sad. The nurse gave him a sucker after the shots and she went from worst enemy to best friend really fast.

Stats:
Weight- 24 pounds 14 ounces 75%
Height- 32.3 inches (average 2 year old) 90%
Head- 19.5 inches (3 year old) 97+%

Well what we knew was confirmed again he is a big boy and has a slightly large head. I love my little guy so much I can't even explain it. One of my favorite things he is learning right now is to talk. I love that he can only say a few words I don't know if I am ready to answer Why? every two seconds (I am going to need some training from my Sister inlaw Tara before that starts she always gives the best answers)

Here are a couple fun things about him right now
- he still LOVES to be outside
- he loves to be read to
- he is quite an amazing dancer
- he is really good at leading the music (learned from his cousin Porter)
- he likes to throw things away (be careful if your at our house)
- he knows what he wants and is getting pretty good at telling us what it is
- he has a favorite pair of pajamas that have little lizards all over them
- he is still crazy about snugly
- he is learning animal sounds his favorite is the lion
- dogs are his best friend
- we call his milk strong bone juice because for some reason if we call it milk he doesn't want it
- he loves to blow his nose and make a loud noise when he does it
- he loves to help me vaccume
- he loves primary songs and will sit in the rocking chair and just listen to them on cd's

Here are some not so fun things
-he is a climber & it scares me to death
-he is becoming a picky eater. he will still eat almost everything but if he has something in mind that is all he wants and it can be pretty hard to figure that out
-he throws his food off his tray. He is getting better but I still sweep the floor everyday and mop every other. Not fun.

Words he says (not all of them are consistent. Usually when he learns a new one he will stick with it for a couple days and forget about the rest)
-mama
-dada
-knock knock (only done while knocking on the door to go outside)
-ball
-nono
-oggie (boogy)
-up
-hi
-bye
-car
-shh
-dog

I think he says a couple more but I can't think of them. He understands pretty much everything we say although he often chooses not to listen when we say no. This is such a great stage and I am completely crazy about him. He is such great little guy. He sleeps 12-13 hours at night and takes a 2-3 hour nap during the day. I am not going to lie the days he takes a 3 hour nap I get kinda bored. I know when I have more kids (which won't be anytime soon in case your wondering) I will probably love it, but for now I start to miss him and want him to wake up.


This picture pretty much explains Boston at 15 months. He is in to everything and wont hold still for a second. Hence him not looking at the camera and the handful of tampons.

rian took a 3 hour nap one time and it was great for in that i was able to get alot done but i did get bored too! it's amazing how much your lief revolves around them and you quickly run out of tings and miss them.

Teres, he is so stinkin cute!!! I can't believe how big he is. I feel the same way about the nap thing and whenever I say it people think I am crazy. Kamri sleeps for four hours every day and half way into it I want her to wake up and play with me again!! Oh p.s. I am coming to Texas in a few weeks, I will be in Austin for a bit but I am going to Dallas for a few days. We should totally get together!! I want to meet your little guy!!
