Fifteen Months.

Can you believe I'm typing fifteen? Fifteen months of pure love and learning, crying, laughing and poopy diapers. ;)

Time has flown by so quickly that this update is being written at almost sixteen months ha! It's being written nonetheless. Oh what this boy has brought into our lives!

Age: 15 months

Stats: I believe he's 30 inches and 22.75 lbs. You're a little below average on weight again but the doc said it's because you're walking.  

Clothes: 18-24 for sure. 

Favorite Foods: Bananas are pretty much your thing. You devour an entire banana all on your own. You're still a pretty good eater and haven't had any issues. I thought you were disliking eggs but you're back on track and eating them. Yogurt is also becoming one of your faves. It's so cute because I give you the container and a spoon and you squeeze the bottom to try to get it all out. 

Favorite Words: Mama! Dada, woody pronounced "oodsy", ball "bo", over there "ot ther" while pointing with your finger.

Favorite Activities: Running around the house, taking every single thing out of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets (which always gives me a few more minutes to get ready or prepare dinner), bubbles, being outside, baths. You love to make us laugh by making faces, weird moves or anything that you think will work. You are the silliest little boy! You really do make us laugh everyday. 

Least Favorite Activities: Diaper changes and any form of face and hand cleaning.

Favorite Things: Your paci. Oops, you've been so attached to it lately that we've been giving in. We need to take it away from you soon though. Woody, we ask you where he is and you bring him to us. Drinking from mama and daddy's drink. You love being chased and you laugh hysterically! You have also acquired a love, that we don't necessarily share, of throwing stuff in the toilet. We keep the lid down since your playing-in-the-toilet-water incident but every now and then we forget and find a sock in there.

Signature Moves: You love dancing! As soon as you hear music you start swaying back and forth and you stomp your little feet and bend your knees up and down. The sweetest thing ever! You do share mama and daddy's love of music. You throw a mean ball, I think we have a future baseball player in our hands. You throw with your left and right so we still don't know which hand you favor. You hold the spoon and fork with both hands too.

Mom's 'Proudest' Moment: I have a couple :) You fell off the bed for the first time since you were born and I still feel so guilty about it! It was sometime in the middle of the night when I took you out of the crib to come sleep with us and you somehow managed to roll above my head without me noticing and when I felt you it was too late, I grabbed your leg but you slipped and fell on the carpet. Thank God you were okay and only cried for a few seconds. I was terrified! I held you so tight and said I'm sorry until you fell asleep again. Then I was changing your diaper and accidentally let go of the Velcro and it smacked you on the belly. You were pretty pissed about that since it left you a red mark. 

A real proud moment is that you give mama the biggest hugs! You'll be walking, I'll call your name and ask you for a hug, you run to me arms wide open and you lay your little head on my shoulder with your arms wrapped around me. I can't get enough of those, once I ask you a thousand times you get the hang of it and walk away, ha!

Other Milestones: Well, does finding you on top of a new diaper box dancing and screaming count? I would say yes in my book. :) I even had to call daddy over to see you because it was so funny! You are the quickest ASL learner! I'll teach you a sign and the next time I ask you, you already know it. You favorite signs are milk, more, all done and please. You're also recognizing parts of the body and you're also learning to put stuff away when we ask you to. You make a huge mess and we call you our little tornado but as long as you put everything back, we are okay with it. :) I can't wait to teach you more of everything!!

You seriously are the sweetest and friendliest boy in the world. You wave hi at every single person you see and when they don't wave back you keep waving anyway. The girls at daycare love you and when I drop you off you immediately want to be held by them which makes me feel better about leaving you to go to work. You learn something new everyday and you are imitating a lot of things we do and noises we make. My most favorite thing is when your ball goes under the bed or sofa you lay on the floor to look for it and point at it for us to get it. It's also so much easier to know what you want because we name something and you laugh if that's what you want. You have been such a good kid and I hope you stay that way okay? 

We love you more than anything in this world! 

Seven Months.

Sorry guys I've been crazy busy these past few days and I'm posting Button's update a little late. It's just beyond crazy to me how smart and amazing this little creature is. He's learning so much at such a fast rate. I know as mamas we say that about our kids all the time and to everyone but seriously, how can we hold back such information about our little ones when they're so awesome!

Excuse the half erased board. This kid could not get his hands off of it.

Weight: About 18lb. Your next appointment is not until nine months.

Clothing size: 6-12 the six month stuff I got you is going out the door pretty soon. 

Diaper size: 3 I seriously think we will be getting 4's in no time.

Feeding: Your schedule is pretty much the same as last time but you don't drink as much formula as you used to because you like your solids a lot more. And you drink water now too. I'm not going to let you drink juice until you're older.

Milestones: You are literally days away from crawling. I also love to stand you up on my legs because you push yourself up and down. I love that!

Loves: We recently got you a baby remote control. You crawl (or slither rather) your way to it and you press the buttons changing channels left and right. While all that is cute, we opted for one just for you. It plays songs, numbers and it lights up, you love it. We also bought you a Glow Worm and you are mesmerized by the way it lights up. I give it to you when I lay you down and you lay on your side touching its lit face. Your absolute most favorite toy is a monkey your auntie Yams bought you when you were born. We hang it from your car seat and you ALWAYS hold on to it when you're in it. Even if you're asleep. If we forget it (cause grandma takes it out so you can play with it) you look for it and you give me a look as if you want to ask me "where the hell is it mama?" It's the cutest thing.

Dislikes: You're starting to give us a hard time with diaper changes. You don't complain but you are so squirmy and try to get your hands on everything you can find on the bed while we are changing you. I think you just don't like not being able to do what you want during that time. When you're congested, you hate saline and the bulb. You already know when we get close to your nose and you start swinging your hands and turning your body away from us. I don't blame you on this one, it probably sucks. You also have never liked ANY teething toys. This has given us a hard time because although you love your hand, it's not enough to calm the itchiness of your gums.

Adventures: Everyday is an adventure with you! You did hit your head on the high chair because since you want to grab and touch everything, you were looking down on your little safety belt and you were slouching and hit your head. You cried for about 2.5 seconds and went about your business. You also love leaning all the way to the edge of the tray and biting it with your gums. It probably feels good since you're teething. 

Mommy and Daddy could not get through the month without: Still your paci but mostly all your toys. You can play with anything and you stay occupied for a good while.

I am also loving the stuff that Old Navy is coming out with and seeing that Fall and Halloween is almost here and reading other blogs it seems like everyone is in the spirit already! So why not join them?

The toys were purchased at Target and the PJ's and onesie from Old Navy.

More on ON. Seriously, I snagged this onesie as soon as I saw it. I love it!

Happy Wednesday!
