15 months

Chase Man, I can hardly believe you are 15 months!  It's been a very busy last three months.  We've been having a lot of fun this summer and you are growing so fast! Today we went to your 15 month check up and everything looks great. Everyone kept saying how sweet and happy you were.  Until those two shots, they hurt you (and mommy too).

  You are a happy happy little man.  You love mommy to hold you but you are really finding your independence, as long as big brother doesn't get in your way. You are patient with your brother but starting to retaliate when it comes to sharing. (Or lack of) You are quite the walker.  It took you about 4 or 5 weeks to really get the hang of it after your first steps but you are walking almost full time. You love to watch Gaspard and Lisa.  You love sitting in your chair.  You love your puppy, Scout. You love Colton's golf clubs, Nerf guns, and 4 wheeler. You love bath time, playing in "brubahs" bedroom and riding "little pony" with Grandad. You bang in your high chair and stroller, Mommy calls you bang bang. You have the most beautiful blue eyes and the curliest mullet around. You love to blow spit bubbles and you make quite a mess. When you're full (it takes a lot) or you don't like something you crunch up whatever is left over or feed it to Sadie. You are a messy messy eater.  I usually have to change your shirt and/or clean up your hair when you're done with a meal. You love to eat.  You are picky about what you eat but when we find something you like you eat and eat and eat.  You love nuggets, fishsticks, grilled cheese, crackers and cheese, oranges, watermelon banana.  You do not like pasta or veggies or soft bread. You sneeze almost every time we go out into the hot sun. You still nurse at night. You will occasionally say more. You say Momma, Dadda and Brubah often When we ask you a question and you agree you shake your head (really big) yes. You never shake your head no. You love putting things on your head.  Buckets, hats...anything. We're working on finding your body parts.  You know nose but get silly when we ask anything else. You have 10 teeth and I think a new one will be through tomorrow. You love to brush them! You don't do it often but you scream the loudest scream when you don't get your way or are irritated. You will not sit in a shopping cart and time is very limited in a highchair out to eat. You just got new shoes and you have a fat little foot.  We tried on a ton of shoes and only found one pair to fit. You start MDO in a week and a half. You respond really well to "No.No" There are a few things you are adamant on playing with that I say "No.No" to that you never give up (like when you find mommy's earplugs) but for the most part if we say it, you listen. You may not say many word but know what we are asking and you follow our commands. Cousin Kelly calls you "cave man" (among other nicknames, "Cheese Burger") because you grunt. Brother seems to always know what you want. You are such a happy little guy.  This past few weeks have been my favorite so far. You are such a joy.  I love you, I love your personality,  I love everything about you.  Now, stop growing up so fast!!!!!  Now...for some of my favs from the past three months... BEWARE this is major picture overload.

 

 

 Uh oh.  Mishap with a McDonalds toy and brother.

 You woke up with this hair!

 Walking so good!
