15 Months

Another month has gone by and our little toddler just keeps growing. His next appointment is in a few weeks so I'll update on size then. He is still wearing 18-24 months mostly in pants and shirts. As far as naps go I think he may be trying to narrow down to 1. Some days he will take 2 good naps and other days he will just scream during his afternoon nap and not want to go down. So, we may be on our way to 1 nap... we'll see! If he does, I'm going to try and get it to be an afternoon nap. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet! He's always been such a good sleeper/napper.

His vocabulary continues to expand. I'll try and name all the words he can say, although I know I'll probably miss quite a few!

spoon

and pretty much anything we say he will repeat

He can point to his belly and his toes, and sometimes his nose
He can follow directions like "bring me your shoes". He knows what lots of things are even though he may not be able to say complex words... for example all his toys were laying out and there was a cucumber laying in the middle of them and I said "bring me the cucumber" and he was able to pick it out from all the toys!
He usually tells us when he is tired by saying night night and lays his head down on something.
He is becoming mister independent and wants to use a spoon or a fork to feed himself now. He doesn't like to let us feed him :( such a big boy!

We have one smart little guy! We can't wait to help him learn more and see him grow!
