{15 months}

• You laugh when you or someone else burps or sneezes.
• You started squinting your eyes when you smile.
• Wearing size 4 shoes.
• Wearing size 4 diapers (they are big on you still).
• You are really trying hard to climb into boxes, and onto the couch. Unfortunately your little legs can’t reach that far, so mom or dad end up putting you in the box or on the couch.
• One day you woke up from your nap and started taking steps backwards. Now you think you are a pro, but often times you end up falling on your behind when you walk into something.
• You enjoy playing with mommy’s hair. You play with it while drinking your bottle, or if I am on the ground you will come and play with it. I often becomes a game where you end up pulling my hair and laughing while having a death grip. It’s so hard to teach you that it hurts mommy.
• When it’s time to change your bottom, you want us to chase after you. You will get close to us, but far enough so we can’t touch you. When we have our arms stretched out you will quickly run away. Dad learned to stick out his hand and ask you to give him five. You always fall for that trick. Once we get a hold of you, you will laugh and we can change you.
• You are having only 3 bottles a day; morning, nap time and bedtime. The rest of the day you drink out of a straw Sippy cup. Your favorite drink in the Sippy cup is chocolate milk.
• When you are walking around, you will place you hands on your hips or behind you back.
• You pace like daddy.
• You learned how to dance by stomping your feet, your little hands stay still while your head is shaking back and forth. Whenever any music comes on you stop and dance. Even when we are in the car you will kick your legs and move you head.
• When I am sitting on the floor you come and lay your head on my back.
• You are taking 1 nap a day and you usually go down at 12 pm and sleep for 1 1/2 hours.
• Your bedtime is at 8 pm and you sleep through the night and wake up at 8 am.
• You are getting really good at saying.”I want that.”
• You love to clean, if there is piece of paper or dust you will pick it up and hand it to us.
• Your favorite toy is the vacuum. It's a duplicate of our Dyson vacuum.
• Your choice of foods:

• pickles (you suck out the juice)
• oatmeal
• cereal (whatever mommy eats you will eat)
• yogurt (only once in a while)
• canned peaches or mandarin oranges
• crackers, cheezit’s, popcorn twists,and graham crackers
• string cheese
• nutri-grain bars
• banana pancakes and regular pancakes
• banana’s are you all-time favorite!

You are truly a blessing in our family. We are so blessed to have you as our son. You are our sunshine our only sunshine and you are always making us happy. We love you and we hope that you will always know it.
