15 months.

hard to believe 15 months flew by so fast. i am starting to see you as a toddler now and not as a baby. i know you understand more than you lead on. you finally are starting to answer when we ask you questions. just this morning i asked if you wanted to do something and you said "YEAH!". you pretty much answer yeah to most questions but you know the difference when i question involves more than a yeah or no. i told you that you had to leave your shoes on if you wanted to walk outside and you said "oh tay"! just about made my morning! your voice is so stinking cute and i just love hearing you talk. high on the list of things i love is still your interaction with your sister. do you love her or what? you see this picture of you and her. yeah, that smile was produced because of her. it had nothing to do with me. i wish i could bottle up all that love you have for each other. because i'll probably need some of it in 10 years! ;) you are pretty good at walking and are still very cautious. if there is even an inch step you will get down and turn around to get down. i am appreciative of that! the doctor is concerned with your weight gain so the next couple of months we'll be trying to fatten you up. that shouldn't be too hard with the holidays coming up! :) this month has been a great one for you! you've really become a toddler this month and it is so apparent. you are still testing your boundaries and your temper tantrums are just plain cute at this point. you lay your entire body on the floor and cry. OH, and how could i forget you FINALLY love to sit in my lap and read books. you bring book after book and just want to read. and then when it's over you go "hmmm" (in this super cute high pitch voice). i'm guessing you think that means again. not really sure about that one. :) but, either way we get the point. you love to clap and keep the rhythm to songs. you are actually pretty good at it and try so hard. in your little gym class you'd rather sit in the middle and clap to the music that run around and actually participate. but, you have come a long way and you like the bars now and doing the activities as opposed to the tears we used to see. you'd think i was torturing you before. so, big steps forward. you could learn to be a little bit better in church. the non stop crying for 45 minutes makes me thankful you miss me. but, i promise i'll come back for you. you'll get better with time. i hope. :)

as far as stats you are almost 21 pounds and 30 inches long. you have all four molars for a grand total of 12 teeth. i think you might be a lefty life your sister but only time will tell.
