15 Months

Our little bundle of joy recently hit the 15 month mark. Pictures are becoming more rare as it is impossible to catch him still and looking at the camera...but I will post a few.

15 month stats:
24 lbs 50%
32 inches 75-90%
head 19.3 inches 97%!!!

Now, what to say about our Riley boy...

- I would say that he has become an expert walker, but he doesn't really walk. He RUNS everywhere he goes. Of course it's a cute little toddler run. The kid has one speed: FULL speed.

- He climbs on everything and is getting pretty good at actually getting down from the peaks he reaches.

- He's become a little shy when meeting new people and will smile and bury his face in my shoulder. I LOVE this because as many of you know Riley is NOT a cuddler and it's the only time he snuggles up to me besides when he's going to sleep.

- He still does not hug or kiss, but will ocassionally allow me to plant one on him and purse his lips together in a tolerating fashion. He just doesn't have time for the mushy stuff, he's got too much to do.

- He's smart! It's amazing to see the things he can pick up on. For instance, he knows I always wear my glasses in the mornings (because I don't yet have my contacts in) so if Craig gets him out of bed he comes in my room and picks my glasses up next to my bed and hands them to me.

- He has lots to say. Some favorite words are: alright!, uhoh, DaDa (MaMa is becoming more frequent), ball, bird, kitty, eeze (cheese), hot? (always a question), night night, ba ba (bottle), bye, hi, no, thank you, boon (balloon).

- He can signal "touchdown" and "safe" on demand and show you where his nose is.

- He tells everyone we pass when leaving a store "bye".

- He loves mac and cheese and will go in the pantry to get it and bring it to me to fix. He has become a little more picky with his eating, but is still a healthy eater. Fruit and cheese are by far his favorite foods.

- He loves animals and balloons.

- I just bought him some new summer clothes...2T. What has happened to my baby??
