Theo won't have his 15 month checkup until after the New Year, so I don't have any height/weight stats just yet, but he's getting taller and a little heavier! Mostly taller, because he's getting into many more things and places. He's now in size 4 diapers and wearing 12-18 month clothes.
This month there wasn't a whole lot new- no major milestones like last months walking; however, Theo has definitely improved walking and can get around really quickly! He's not quite running yet, but he's got a quick little trot. We started letting him walk in from the car to the house (which is helpful when I have my hands full), but the other day he broke the circle of trust and made a quick 180 into the street. Don't worry, I never let him down when cars are near- I know not to trust him yet...
Some cute little things that he's picked up on this month were using his mouth to blow. He picked up on this after we were giving him food that was pretty warm and we'd blow on it to cool it off. So now he likes to blow on his food- he knows mostly what's hot and what's cold, and doesn't spend too much time blowing cold items. He occasionally gets a whistle out which he things is pretty funny, although we can't get him to just whistle on his own. He will also sniff things now. Primarily the Christmas Tree, which is small and up on an end table, but is just the right height for for his little nose to sniff the branches.
The weather here has been colder, so I'll admit we haven't been playing outside as much as we normally do, but Mason's been good about taking Theo out on short walks around the house while I'm getting things done around the house. We were all knocked out with a cold for a few days, which sucked, but fortunately we were all able to sleep a lot which was nice!
Aunt Jill came to visit right before Christmas, which was a lot of fun for Theo (and us)! Theo loves visitors and so to have visitors two months in a row, he was a happy boy. Mason's on leave until next Friday, so he's gotten really spoiled with family visiting and having Daddy home...he's going to be really bored when it's just back to me and him!
His favorite foods are definitely nannys (bananas). He'd eat them all day long if we'd let hm. He's expanding his tastes a little and allowing me to give him fruit cocktail and applesauce which he wouldn't eat before. It's nice because fresh fruit just doesn't look so great these days or you pay an arm and a leg for it, so I'm glad he started eating the canned fruit, at least just for winter. He really likes pesto and Chinese food, and refried beans as well, so he's learning to like a variety of foods from various cultures. :)
The biggest thing we've been focusing on are animal sounds and body parts. He's really good with the animals, and added the oink oink, and quack, quack, this month. Today he pointed to his nose and ears when asked, but it may have been a fluke, so stay tuned to see if that's actually been mastered.
