15 Months Old

This little slide is his new favorite activity. He climbs up on his own and holds on for dear life until his body is nearly as long as the slide down and then he'll let go. He is so proud of himself!

His desire is to do any and everything for himself now...including eat his own piece of pizza.

This cute little desk was meant for Emmie, but he has overtaken it. We often find him sitting there just kicking his stubby little legs and smiling.

He can't get enough Mommy time. He loves to mess with my keyboard when I'm on the computer.

After a long day of playing, nap time for some of the boys.

Give this kid a broom and he'll sweep an entire area. In Arrowhead, he likes to sweep the outside deck and watch the boats on the lake.

So many other fun things are happening: he now runs, he can crawl down the stairs now (much to my relief), he spends a good part of his days kicking around a soccer ball, when the doorbell rings he rushes to see who it is, he loves to be outside and will follow anyone out any door, his favorite drink is water but only from Emmie's cup or my bottle - never from the sippy cups I try to give him, he "talks" on the phone and thinks it's great fun, and he is fascinated by dogs - if he sees one or hears one barking or even hears the word dog he will stop and look around (this has become a good tactic to get him to stop crying...just ask him where the doggy is!). He still loves avocado, watermelon and now ribs and pizza. He is very easy-going and happy. He brings so much joy to our family!
