Andy is 15 months old! This has been an amazing month! He seems to have really grown up this month.
- Andy got his first haircut (which really makes him look older)
- Andy talks on the phone to people (you still can’t understand what he says, but he jabbers on there all the time and loves hearing whoever is on the other end)
- He is in size 18 month pants and pj’s that are one piece, but size 24 month tops, and 2-piece pj’s. He doesn’t wear onesies anymore. He is a size 6 shoe all of the sudden – I think he wore is size 5 and a half for no more than 2 weeks!
- He is 31” tall and 26lbs
- He says “Mama”, “Papa”, “Daddy”, “Juice”, “Grandpa” (which sounds like “Gradka”, so it might be ‘Grandma’ too, but he follows Dad around the house and says it over and over, so I think it is meant as ‘Grandpa’), and that is pretty much it. He has said “Hi” and “Bye bye” before, but only once or twice, and not for a looooong time now.
- He crosses himself every time he hears us pray, and he LOVES to pray! It is really so cute!
- He sits behind me in the car, in Owen’s old black car seat.
- He has MAJOR temper tantrums when he doesn’t get him way, or when he is tired, and he rarely listens to us call his name or tell him ‘no’.
- He loves to open the kitchen cupboards, and has lately been getting into the drawers in the big room. He also LOVES keyboards and computer mouses. I’ll often come to my computer to find a bunch of weird windows open thanks to Andy.
- Andy still loves to play outside, and always follows Owen around.
- He can ride on little ride-on toys or bikes, and he can go forwards and backwards all by himself.
- He likes to play games and will initiate hide-and-go seek, tickle games, laughing, and copying games.
- Bath times are a lot shorter now as Andy splashes soooo badly, and he’ll often put his head under water until he wants to get out. It’s pretty exhausting!
- Andy loves to dress up in costumes just like his big brother.
- Also like his big brother, Andy has a horrid fake laugh. It is so loud and so fake, but sooo cute!
- He’ll take out his soother, and cluck his tongue to tell you he is hungry.
- He understands a lot – if you ask him to take out his sucker, give something to you, pick something up, put something down, close the door, open the door, sit on his bum, come here, go there, etc. And he knows what it means when I ask if he is hungry, tired, thirsty, and he is pretty good at letting me know the answer.
- Andy and Owen started a new daycare this month, and they both LOVE Joyce! Andy jumps right into her arm when I drop him off in the morning, and she has never really had a hard time with him. Although, when I go to pick him up he usually jumps into my arms and waves goodbye to Joyce. J
- We took down all the baby gates. Andy is great going up and down the stairs. And he is trying to walk down, as opposed to going down backwards. He still needs help with it though. And he goes up the stairs one foot on each stair
