15 Months Old

Sweet, sweet, Lukey Bear....you are 15 months old!!!   You have always been ridiculously precious...but you're quickly becoming downright edible!  We love every little thing about you (seriously...you're even cute when you cry...though I could do without the scrying (screaming/crying combo) and we are so lucky to be your family!  Here's a little more about you at 15 months:

  • You weigh 24lbs, 8oz (49th %tile); you are 31.75 inches tall (69%tile), and your head circumference is 18.75 (63%tile).  
  • You wear size 5 diapers, size 18 months clothing, and size 6 shoes.
  • You are a good eater, but you can be a little fussy at meal times.  Your favorite foods include cheese, yogurt, squeezy pouches, biscuits, pancakes/waffles, oranges, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and meat/fish (turkey, steak, all fish).  You get a little hangry (like your mama) when we let you get too hungry and the past few days you've been walking to your high chair and saying "eat, eat" over and over again until we put you in and feed you.
  • You love, love, love your milk!  You still get a bottle before bedtime and if/WHEN you wake up in the middle of the night.
  • You still wake up at least once each night...probably because we're still giving you a bottle when you do...geez...plan to tackle this one over Christmas break..
  • You are a smiley, happy little guy!  Everyone at your school comments on how happy you are.  You like to be silly and try to make us laugh.  
  • You love to dance and have some of the cutest dance moves I've ever seen!!  You dance whenever you hear music.  
  • You also love to read books.  Your teachers report that you will sit and look at books for very long periods of time.  You bring me books to read to you a lot at home.
  • You are eerily smart and my jaw drops daily by the things I think I hear you saying.  Like today, your foot slipped in between the cushions of the couch and you looked at me and said, "I stuck" and the other day Daddy was holding you and Cade and Cade said, "Let me get down"...the next thing I knew you said, "Let me get down"...of course, you did not pronounce the words correctly and we would have never known what you had said if Cade hadn't said it first...but still.  You love to talk and you say around 30 words.  
  • You have SO MUCH ENERGY!!!  You are always running, chasing, squealing, banging, throwing... And you are one tough little booger.  Cade pushes you down at least 10 times a day...you are are always climbing, falling and rarely do you even cry, and if you do it's only for a few seconds.  
  • You love:  Cade (you mimic his every move), Snuggle Duckie (your newly adopted lovey), bottles, snacks, talking, exploring, being around all of us.
  • You do NOT love:  getting your teeth brushed (it is ABSURD how hard you fight us on this one), getting in your car seat, having your diaper changed, getting out of the bath tub.  
You are truly a little ball of sunshine and we love you more than you will ever know!!!




Thanksgiving Feast

Last Thursday Cade's class hosted a Thanksgiving feast.  They put on a pre-feast program during which they did a little play and sang songs.  Watching Cade in his first "performance" was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen!!!  His teacher said that he did a great job memorizing the words, songs, and movements and that he really got into practicing - quickly becoming, according to her, the "leader of the pilgrims".  Haha!  Way to go Cade!  I am looking forward to many more of these!
