15 Months

I’m a little late on this and I totally skipped month 14. Opps!

Aedan, here is what you are up to these days…

• You still go to bed around 7:30pm and wake up around 7:30am. You are hanging on to your two naps (you may be the only baby that tries to climb into your crib instead of out of it!). You usually sleep for about an hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.
• You don’t have your 15 month check up until next month (Mommy slacked on making the appointment and they were booked). But we went to the doctor this morning (which is another post entirely) and you weigh 24 lbs.
• I’m not sure how tall you are, but you have definitely slimmed down and gotten taller since you turned 1.
• You have become a pretty poor eater lately. You eat great at breakfast. You love eggs, waffles, pancakes, yogurt and fruit. Lunch and dinner are hit or miss, but you will inhale a serving of spinach anytime!. Sometimes I feel like you eat nothing, but you don’t seem to complain between meals so I guess you are getting enough….
• You are so so busy and rarely sit still. You are usually running through the house chasing Hiro, pushing popper, or kicking a soccer ball.
• You are always “talking” and now we are starting to understand a few of your words. You say “out” (for outside), “hot”, “uh-oh”, “all done”, “night night”, “no”, “shoes”, “whoa” (usually when you run into something or knock something over!) and of course “dada” (sometimes its “daddy”) and “mama”. You also try an repeat words we say pretty frequently.
• You imitate so well. I am always in awe of how you can watch us do something and then you try and do it yourself. It is so fun to just watch you play and explore new things.
• You still love to be outside and it doesn’t seem to bother you that it is over 100 degrees here. You love to swing, dig in the garden, chase Hiro or find rollie pollies under the porch mat.
• You can point to your head, nose and eyes. You find socks or shoes and immediately point to your feet.
• You still love to play chase, but if someone corners you, you put your hand out and say “nonono” (you also do this when you don’t want us to stop you from doing something).
• You love to wave hi to anyone and you have become much more comfortable around other people. You love attention and will usually flash a cheesy, eye squinty smile whenever someone gives you any (especially girls)!
• You sleep with your sheet protector still and you love to carry it around. It is the first thing you look for if you are upset, tired or hurt. We call it your num num because that is the sound you make when you hold it near your mouth.
• You love to go bye bye. I have to be careful and say it only when I am truly ready to leave, otherwise you will try to find the keys and run to the door and whine until I’m ready to go.
• You recently figured out how to open the doors in our house and are pretty proud of yourself when you do it. Sigh.
• You still love reading books and will bring me various ones to read to you throughout the day.

Aedan, you are so much fun! At night Daddy and I just talk and laugh about the different things you did throughout the day. We love you so much and are so blessed to have you!

Love, Mommy
