Fifteen Months

Jack is 15 months old today. At 15 months he is still the happiest, most easy going baby around.

He loves playing with cars and banging on the glass door to the entertainment center with his little hammer.

He still steals and drinks any and all sippy cups, but is starting to become a bit finicky with food... and a VERY messy eater.

He is becoming more mischievous, he likes to watch me while dangling various bits of food over the tray to his high chair and then drop them as soon as I make eye contact.

He is able to walk but prefers to crawl.

He can say mama (but doesn't very often), dada, car, uh oh, no, hi, bye, go, num num, quack quack, and a few others... I swear I heard him say cookie the other day.

He loves to pipe in to a chorus of Bob the Builder; when you sing "can we fix it" he'll respond with an enthusiastic "yeah!!".

He loves music and does a little groove when a song he particularly likes is on... Some of his current favorites are: I'm the Map and I Love My Boots from the Dora the Explorer CD.

He laughs out loud when the song I know a Chicken by Laurie Berkner is playing.

He loves to laugh and be tickled.

He occasionally throws his head back (some may call it a "temper tantrum") when he doesn't get his way.

He likes looking at picture books and being read to.

He likes to make the "itsy bitsy spider" motions with his hands.

He loves to splash in the tub and have his head rinsed under the faucet. Of all his bath toys, the shampoo bottle is usually his choice of entertainment.

He likes to listen to the recording of my voice on the exersaucer and will often press the button several times until he finds it.

Much to my sadness he is becoming less of a Momma's boy and only likes to be cuddled if he wakes in the middle of the night, which isn't very often...

He loves his teddy bear and falls asleep hugging him almost every night.

At his fifteen month check up Jack had 2 shots. He weighs 27.5 lbs and is 31.75 inches tall.
