15 months


Weight: 23 lbs 3 3/4 oz (35%)
Height: 32" (75%)
Favorite Toy: his tricycle, trucks, sandbox, soccer ball, busy ball popper, fridge farm magnet
Fascinated by: dogs, horses, school buses (there is a bus stop at our house), garbage trucks.
Loves: to "ride" his tricycle, go down the slide all by himself, give open mouth kisses, scribble with crayons, play with play-dough, dance when music is playing, wave hello & flash big smiles to anybody, run & play chase with his big sister, use a fork/spoon to feed himself
Latest Skill learned: walks up/down the stairs (yikes!). I'm close by when he's going down the stairs, but he doesn't need my supervision going up! He also loves blowing bubbles in the bath-big sister "taught" him this skill thanks to swimming lessons! He can also point to objects in a book when we ask him to...mostly the dogs & cats at this point.
Favorite Books: The touch & Feel Farm book, The Very Busy Spider, or 1st book of Numbers/Objects
Hates: milk (will NOT drink whole milk), getting his diaper changed & finger nails cut
Favorite Foods: any fruit, tomatoes, cheese, spaghetti, ritz crackers. Latest food he loves is eating from the whole apple (thanks to our apple tree & neighbor who brought us a ton of apples from his place in Chelan). I peel the skin before I hand him the apple, but he loves to be like his big sister!
Words: dadda, momma, "bob"-we joke this is his name now!, dog (well, he doesn't pronounce the "g" sound yet), shakes his head yes/no. Not real verbal yet, but definitely can "tell" you what he wants (i.e. pulls on the highchair tray if he's hungry)
Teeth: still 4 on top, 2 on bottom-when are the rest going come?! It would be nice if some molars came in to help with chewing foods.
Hand dominance: looks like he'll be a leftie! He eats with his left, will "color" using his left...time will tell if he sticks with his left. :)
Sleep Pattern: dropped his morning nap ~14 months of age. Still sleeping 7pm-7am with a solid 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon.
