15 Months

15 things I love about my little guy in his 15th month

1. his swirly curly hair that he now attempts to style on his own with his little worm comb and his lady bug brush

2. his affinity for nutella and shoe laces

3. his baby swagger as he strolls across the room

4. the biggest, squeeziest, tightest neck hugs he gives me when I tell him I love him

5. the way he tries to give me kisses by grabbing my face, pulling it close to his and saying "mmmmmmmmmmaaaaaa" {like m-wah} repeatedly

6. the way he plays peek-a-boo with any object he can get his hands on. from a blanket to a book to a cheerio to his fingers. he loves a good game of peek-a-boo

7. his love of vacuuming. it is a serious passion. today he knocked his puffs over onto the floor and in a clear attempt to clean up the spill, ran his vacuum back and forth over them. what a quizzical look he gave me when they were still on the ground after several attempts.

8. the sneaky way he steals my pillow in the morning when I bring him in to bed with me to watch cartoons. we start out sharing and the next thing I know my head is falling off of the bed

9. his appreciation of a soft, fuzzy blanket. he loves to sleep nestling in a pile of them and roll himself into a cocoon when he wakes.

10. they way he points out every frog he can find on any page of every story we read together. frogs excite him.

11. his fascination with the ordinary. he makes things like velcro rollers, plastic cups and tea kettles hours of unexpected fun.

12. his love of books. we do lots and lots and lots of reading here each day. where ever and when ever the mood strikes him, we take a break from what we are doing to enjoy a good story together.

13. the way he scrunches up his face and pinches his nose {and then tries to pinch mine} when I say something is stinky

14. the way he loves to sit and snuggle on the couch with me while watching some Special Agent Oso or even the food network.

15. the way he gets all excited and says "yea-waff" when I ask him if he is ready for breakfast in the morning. he does still love his waffles-must have been all those eggos I craved during the pregnancy...


15 months is an age I wish I could freeze in time. He is the most fabulously fun little person in the entire universe right now!!!!! I love him so!
