My big boy! Here's some tidbits about our life together at 15 mos:
- At your 15 mo. check up you weighed just a little over 25 lbs, which puts you a little above average in weight (and height).
- You are so tall now that you want to open/close doors with the doorknob, and oh ya - YOU LOCKED YOURSELF IN MY CLOSET! We were putting clothes away in mom & dad's room. You ventured into our closet like you've done 100 times before, but this time you closed the door, reached up and twisted the lock. Of course I freaked out, ran to the kitchen for the screwdriver and frantically took the doorknob off. I had to FaceTime daddy to figure out how to open it after that. Luckily the light was on inside and you were happy as can be sitting in there waiting for me to figure it out :)
- You LOVE to go in the closet in your room and play "wheeeere's Kyle?" You also like to play a similar game with a towel on your head.
- You want to be outside all. the. time. You'll beg to go out front, go for a walk, go out back, go to the park. You have a baby pool and splash table out front, which you love. You are never happy to come home and get back in the house.
- You love your iPod! We "gave" you our old iPod touch, and you love to carry it around and listen to kids Pandora. You're dancing has really improved, and you like to move around and snap your fingers. You also like to carry your "boom box" around and listen to tunes.
- You can almost jump! You try really hard, but your little feet don't leave the ground just yet.
- You are trying so hard to form words. So far you've actually said "mom" and "dad" in various forms, and you've kinda/sorta said "down," "up," "Penny," "paci," "bath"... you move your mouth like you're talking all of the time but still trying to figure out the sounds.
- You kick serious ass at animal sounds. I know I've mentioned this before, but you're on a whole different level now. You've added the sounds/movements of the snake and crab to your repertoire, and you've started to make the animal sounds when you see one in a book or come on the TV. Proud mom.
- We started swim class and you're not the biggest fan. You don't want to kick your feet or lay on your back/tummy yet, but mom is loving the fact that we get to swim together and get some sun.
- You're still in gym class too and are the most awesome one on the slide.
- You're pretty into sidewalk chalk. We'll go out back in the morning and you'll color away on the cement and gate.
- You're totally into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It's our morning ritual to cut up a banana and watch an episode while mom and dad have some coffee. Sometimes you get so into the episode that you'll laugh, point and dance. Mom & dad usually end up watching you as you watch TV :)
- You are napping really well lately, giving us a full 2+ hours (usually 12-2). You have also been sleeping well... only getting up at night a few times a month. Sometimes you just can't sleep without us in the room so we'll lay by your crib for a few hours, but those nights have been pretty rare. You usually sleep 8:30-6:30 ish. Bed time is 8, but mom & dad have so much fun with you at night we usually don't get the ball rolling until 8:15 and asleep at 8:30-8:45.
- You have been loving spinach/fruit/yogurt smoothies, tortillas (with cheese and chicken if mom's lucky), bananas, apples, carrots, cuties, peas, greek yogurt and ritz crackers. Still not the biggest meat fan because you don't like the way it feels when you swallow it.
