15 Months

Well, we now have a 15 month old!  The "toddler" phase that Little R is now in, gets more and more interesting everyday.  Many of my friends who don't get to see Little R that often ask me about his personality.  It is so fun to see his little personality emerging :)  Overall, I would describe Little R as a happy little guy.  For the most part, he is pretty easy going and is not very high maintenance.  But, he is a very active and busy toddler.  He likes to stay busy and is constantly on the go!  He is getting more opinionated by the day, and he definitely lets us know when he wants something!!!  Although he has a stubborn streak, he is super sweet and cuddly, and he loves to give us hugs and kisses all throughout the day.  Playing outside still seems to be his favorite activity.  However, he also loves going for walks, going to the grocery store, and going out to eat (at relatively quick places...his favorite is Chik fil A).  He is still very into books and is constantly bringing us his favorite books for us to read to him.  His favorite toys change, but he consistently likes to play with sticks and bark in the back yard and also likes to try and eat them when I am not looking.  Speaking of eating, Little R is a true boy....hungry and wanting to eat ALL OF THE TIME these days!  He will point and whine at the pantry when he wants a snack, which is alot of the time :)

Here are some other things going on at 15 months:

-Little R has added "Gigi" (for Trey's mom), "titta" (for tickle), "huhuhu" (for Ho Ho Ho), "Nana" (my grandmother), "boomboom" (for balloon) and "Wawa or Lala" (for Aunt Laura) to his vocabury.  It is so cute to see him try to pronounce words.

-Little R is still drinking milk from his bottles because he refuses to drink it from a sippy cup...oh well :)

-When he hears music, Little R stomps one foot and sways back and forth from side to side....too cute....I'll try to get a video soon!

-He is obsessed with a singing Christmas bear that his Aunt Carolyn gave him last year for Christmas.  He constantly makes it sing and dances to the song it plays, "Jingle Bells."

-Little R is also very into snow globes.  He always points at them and wants us to make them "snow" and play.

-His favorite foods right now are pretty much any type of cracker or cookie, green beans, bananas, and cheese grits.

-We think Little R is getting either his one year molars or his eye teeth.  I don't know which it is, but the poor little guy has been fussy, fussy the past few days :(  He is constantly chomping on his hand....I hope they hurry up and come in.  He still has just 8 teeth (the front top 4 and the front bottom 4).

-Little R could really care less about TV, which I consider a good thing.  He is too busy to watch any type of cartoon or video!!!

Here are some pictures...action shots are all I can get these days:
