15 Months!

Goodness these last 3 months since turning 1 have been busy for Champs!  I feel like he's learned so much and developed such a personality in these months.  I think the words used most to describe him at this point are BUSY and ACTIVE.  While he is awake, unless it's right before nap or right before bed, he DOES NOT STOP :)  

My little busy bee makes me laugh constantly.  He loves to play.  He ADORES to read books.  This is definitely his favorite activity right now.  He loves to grab a book and scoot backwards to our laps to have it read to him.  I wish his interest in being a bookworm would last for a while, but I'm sure it will pass as he gets more into trucks, trains and balls.  He is trying so hard to say so many things.  He has a good little list of words he can say very well, some that only we can probably understand, and then so so many things that I wish so bad I knew what he was trying to say!  In good time I'm sure we will.

He is no longer just walking, but can pretty much RUN!  I love to see him do it - those little legs going so fast are so cute.  He loves to slide and has figured out not to lean forward when going down the slides. 

He is learning so much at school and really loves going.  Every morning I kiss him goodbye in the elevator and tell him to have a great day.  When I take him inside I give one more hug and he runs off to his friends and teachers.  He still gets so excited when he sees me in the afternoon to pick him up and runs to me so fast!  Seeing him spot me is probably my favorite moment of the day.  He is giving the sweetest little kisses now and will kiss you too if you ask. 

He has gotten all 4 of his first molars and more teeth are coming in the bottom too.  His hair is super blonde and coming in more and more.  I feel like he still looks kinda bald in pics, but in person, he does have a decent amount of hair now.  He weighs 25 pounds and is 32 inches tall.

Things Champs is currently obsessed with and/or doing at 15 months:
- Bubbles!  As in bubble baths.  He is loving bath time and spends half of it saying "more" meaning he wants more bubbles!
- Books (as said above)  Current favorites: Dear Zoo, Pete the Cat, Little Blue Truck, Wide Mouthed Frog, Brown Bear Brown Bear, Barnyard Peekaboo and I could keep going and going
- Animal noises - loves making all the animal noises.  I think he may actually now think a horse is a "neigh" and a cow is a "moo" but we'll work on that :)
- Shoes: He really has always gotten very excited when he gets a new pair of shoes, but lately he's just obsessed with shoes and socks in general.  He loves his own shoes and loves pulling out our shoes from our closets.  His favorite shoes are his church shoes, so I'm constantly having to persuade him they are not best to wear to school every day.  :)
- Pointing at body parts: Loves to point to his own nose, ears, eyes, mouth, fingers and toes and will show us ours too
- Moon! Very into pointing to the "moon" if we come in from the car and it's dark.
- Driving: Still very into driving anything he can get his hands on!  If you follow the blog regularly, you've seen lots of pics of him on golf carts, tractors, etc etc

I will say this age is definitely my favorite.  He melts my heart and makes me laugh out loud every single day.  I love my boy oh so much!!!!!
