I'm Fifteen Months Old!!!

December 17, 2009...I am now 15 months! I am walking everywhere and really starting to enjoy climbing. I'm definitely into pretty much everything, whether I'm supposed to be or not. I still have 6 teeth. I'm still very small for my age...about 21 pounds. It must have something to do with the fact that I am super active and I never stop going. My favorite foods are black beans, oranges, smoothies, string cheese (well, any cheese), yogurt, shredded pork & chicken, rice, any snack I can put in my snack cup (Goldfish, crackers, etc.), and I've recently started liking bananas. Some of the words I am saying are "yeah, yellow, bread, trash, tree, Grandpa, cat, cheers, cup, cracker, teacher (from Brown Bear, Brown Bear), Jack, Mama, Dada, go, good good good, uh-oh, bye-bye, night-night (nye-nye), bath, bed, and cheese stick". I babble a lot, too. I love to feed people my snacks or whatever I am eating. I think it's funny to try to put food or my paci in peoples' mouths. I love toothbrushes, and I am frequently walking around with a toothbrush that I've gotten out of my bathroom. I like to brush my teeth all the time. Another new thing that I'm doing is going to get my changing pad when I have a dirty diaper. This is my way of telling Mommy that I need a diaper change. Mommy thinks this is pretty cool! Maybe I'll be easier to potty train than my brother. I seem to be growing up so much faster than my brother, Jack, did at this age. Maybe it's because I'm constantly watching him and trying to do everything that he is doing. My favorite books are Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See; Guess Who, Elmo; Where is Baby's Belly Button; Colors; A, You're Adorable; Thomas the Tank Engine; Goodnight Clifford. I love seeing Grandpa; taking baths and splashing; playing with Jack; seeing Daddy after work; reading books with Mommy; being silly; giving kisses and hugs; waving to anyone and everyone; making new "friends" with complete strangers just about everywhere we go; brushing my teeth; eating snacks and drinking smoothies; playing outside; being chased by Jack; taking Jack's toys; getting into cabinets; getting into the recycling; trying to get any cell phone, remote, or Ipod; and overall, just being a curious little boy. Did I mention that I'm the messy eater ever??????

Here are some pictures of me at 15 months old today. My eyes are red because I've got pink eye!!! I also did not want to sit still!

Santa Train...

December 13, 2009...Today we rode the Santa Train! It was really cold and rainy outside, but we all bundled up and had a great time. We got to see Santa and the conductor. Daddy, Mommy, Jack, Grammy & Grandpa all came with me. (I wasn't feeling my best becuase I have pink eye!)
