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.

The laugh

People always comment on Boston's laugh and how deep it is. I was finally able to get it on camera. So here it is for your entertainment.

Swimming Finally

I have been waiting for the weather to be right to go swimming. Last week was definatley swimming weather with it being in the 90's. To say the least Boston LOVED it. The water was freezing but the kids didn't seem to mind at all. Thanks girls and Mom and Ky for comming over we had a blast!

More Baseball

If there is one thing about my Brothers that will never change is how much they LOVE baseball. Ky and I decided that before he left we needed to hit up another game. We went down the street to the Frisco Roughriders game. We got the lawn tickets because they were the cheapest and it ended up being the best set up ever. We had an awesome view of the game and Boston could run around and he loved it.



One thing for sure is that Boston is pretty crazy about his Uncle Ky. We love and miss you. Especially Bobo he has been looking for you since you left.

How to get a toddler to take a 4 1/2 hour nap

All we had to do was take him to a Texas Rangers Baseball game and keep him up 4 hours past his bedtime. Last weekend we went and our tickets weren't that expensive so Trav and I decided that if we needed to leave then it wouldn't be a big deal. To our surprise Boston did great and was a very happy boy until 11:30 pm. We went with Brienne & Tregan who were in town (thanks again guys we had fun) my Mom, Kyle, Ed (it was his B-day) Xela, Porter, & Hyrum. It was a very fun night and the weather ended up being perfect after raining all day.




At the end of the game they had fireworks and Boston LOVED them. He didn't even flinch just kept pointing at them and clapping.

O did I ever mention Boston loves Chips. The other night we made Taco Soup and Boston took the chips off the counter and we found him on the back patio chowin' down on his chips.

Family Pictures

My friend Nikki started a photography business and asked us to be her "models" to help build up her portfolio. I think she did a fabulous job I love them all.





Her website is www.shutterviewphotography.com you should check it out.

Easter

We had a great Easter Sunday. We started off the day with our Easter baskets. The Easter Bunny did a great job with Boston he sure loved his new golf clubs.

Then we headed off to church and had a great fast and testimony meeting. Don't ask about the other two hours because I pretty much spent them in the hall chasing after Boston.

Then we went over to my Mom's and had a very yummy dinner and enjoyed the company of Family and Friends.

The Easter Bunny (Dad) even brought Bosotn his latest obsession. Sunglasses.
