Even though you actually turned 15 months in January and I am writing this a few weeks late, all my notes came from the correct time period. Sometimes life gets busy and I forget to type it all up!
The past three months have been a growing experience for you! Your pediatrician has been concerned about your speech since you have had some much fluid sitting in your ears. You have started saying a few words though. Mostly animal sounds but it still is adorable. You moo and bark and can point out cows and dogs when you see them. There are other animals sounds you make like hissing like a snake, and attempting to quack and crow like a rooster. When you went to the doctor for your 15 month appointment, you were 2ft 7in and 24lbs so you are growing good and healthy!
Every morning you wake up around 7:30 (or sometimes earlier if I have to be up earlier) and frankly, I wish you slept until 9 like Trenton! But I do love our sweet cuddles in the morning. You are my little cuddle bug! Always full of silly smiles, hugs and kisses.
You did start to crawl right before Christmas! Now you are a running machine. Though of course you don't run fast at all. Before walking though, your crawling was everywhere! And you are so silly. You would crawl in zigzags across the floor, and my favorite was when you would do donuts. All the sudden you would crawl in circles numerous times like a car doing donuts. Then there is the elephant crawl. Swinging your arms really high and swinging your head really low. Such a silly boy!
I love how you love to brush your teeth and read books, but sometimes it comes at very inconvenient times. Especially if, God forbid, I don't put toothpaste on your toothbrush....the world ends. And books must always be read to you. I hope you continue to always love books, but let's try and limit the readings for Mommy. Sometimes I need to work, or sometimes I REALLY would prefer to sleep. :)
Now that you are older, we are starting to notice that you are even more ornery than your brother. Plus you just LOVE to mess with him! We will find you following him around and babbling at him (saying something apparently very mean), then Trenton will yell at you to leave him alone or go away. Then he will push you and you start crying. Sigh.....such a battle sometimes!
Every time there is music on, you will start dancing. Especially to the Cars theme song. I'm convinced you even know the words. When the song comes on you babble in the same way every time. And of course say "Kachow" :)
You and Daddy love to head butt each other, and then of course you carry it over to other people. It hurts sometimes! Speaking of Daddy, every night I tell you and Trenton to give loves and kisses to Daddy, so you wobble on over willingly yelling "Dada! Dada!" with arms open wide for some hugs and kisses. It is the sweetest thing. Daddy really enjoys how cuddly you are with him too.
Trenton is your best friend but sometimes you get in trouble together. He even got you hooked on candy over Halloween! One time he snuck you a piece of candy in the stroller and the next thing I know, every time you see candy in the stores, you are crying out for some. :(
Roosevelt is still your other best friend. You and that dog are so cute together. You love to give each other kisses and hugs, and you always lay next to him, on top of him, anywhere you can in order to get your puppy loves. I'm really glad you and Trenton will have a puppy to grow up with.
At the beginning of January Aunt Brittany, Uncle Montez, and cousin Kennedy came out to visit. It was your first time meeting all of them! Kennedy is only a couple months younger than you so we all couldn't way to get all three of you kiddos together for the first time. You had a lot of fun having another baby to play with!
Christmas! You had your second Christmas, though last year wasn't really much. You loved opening your presents and playing with all your new toys. Since we live at Boys Town, you got two Christmases since we celebrate early with the guys. I am wondering if you are going to grow up thinking every celebrates Christmas twice...!
One thing that makes me so angry because you are so ornery, is when you are in trouble, you will look up at us and smack your lips together over and over again with a big smile on your face, just to try and get out of trouble. You barely turned one and are already learning how to weasel your way out of trouble with your cuteness! I've always said we had our work cut out with you.....
Right now you love playing with cars and occasionally stuffed animals, but I am curious to see if and when you venture out and choose a "hobby" for yourself, or if you and Trenton will continue to grow up liking the same things. You are a smart little boy and I love watching you learn new things every day.
I love you my sweet boy. Continue to love your family and be your own person :)
Happy Halloween!!
Your adorable little smile just melts my heart
You decided you really like to eat snow! Playing in it not so much
One of your new favorite things to do
Sometimes its fun to just lay on the floor and eat apples
The best place to fall asleep is leaned up against a vibrating fish tank :)
Peanut Butter. Another best friend
Your puppy!!
Cheese!
Dear Jesus....Amen!!
Brother Love
Your first matching outfit! All the way down to the shoes :)
I love catching the both of you holding hands in the car :)
Wagon walks are you favorite!
All the cousins :)
Your first day of school! You started going to daycare once a week for a couple hours. It's a nice break for Daddy and I, and it also gets you used to being around other people and kids. You love your backpack too!
My sweet boys :)
Daddy and his boys working on cars :)
Happy birthday Daddy!
Merry Christmas 2015!
I cannot tell you how many times we re-did this shot....
Santa Claus! And no one cried!
Our annual brother Christmas Tree photo. I'm pretty sure I took approximately 50 photos trying to get one good photo of both of you smiling and looking at the camera. This was the best I could get :)
