15 months...

Scott also turned 15 months yesterday! He is into doing all sorts of silly things these days (see above) which get him into precarious situations sometimes (see below).

He is definitely becoming a bit of a show off, which I believe is partly due to age/a phase and partly due to some of the older kids he sees regularly. I'm not complaining, I thinks its adorable. I can definitely see him picking up running around and spinning in circles and making silly noises (all the while making sure he is being watched) from older kids. Frequently he'll do something silly and then give himself the reaction he was looking for (laughter, surprise etc.) its really funny to watch. His vocabulary is ever expanding, which is both cute and incredibly helpful.
His current favorite things are reading books, playing with (on) Charlie, playing with his friends especially Parker J., anything with Daddy, Elmo ("Albo") and Mickey Mouse still, animals of all kinds (going to the zoo and reading books about animals could fill his day, all day, everyday!) he is loving big trucks too - he always points them out when we are driving somewhere. When we go to the park, the slide is the new favorite. He goes up and down all the slides over and over (and then sleeps so well!). He is also becoming our little fish in the pool!
He still only has 5 teeth and we are getting a little more hair, although I'm probably the only one who can tell. He is still a bit of a picky eater but we are doing a good job of rotating through different foods. Lately we have been doing a bit of dinner time bartering - a bite of (insert vegetable he is not crazy about here, or chicken because lately he's not crazy about that either) for a bite of (insert any carbohydrate item here). He picked up on this game real quick and will not take a second bite of "gross" food before he gets his bite of "yummy" food. He will however eat broccoli at every meal which is nice, and he shares my green drink with me in the morning so at the very least I'm guaranteed that he gets 1-2 servings of leafy greens everyday. I discovered Dr. Praeger's frozen items and will work those in every few days (they have wonderful gluten free stuff: white fish breaded with potatoes instead of bread, broccoli and spinach mixed with potatoes in the shape of dinosaurs, teddy bears etc.). I was feeling a bit guilty about including these quick fix items in Scott's diet, it feels a bit too much like processed food. But we only do it every few days and at least they are all organic. And I felt less bad when a patient in the office the other days said she fed her daughter powdered sugar doughnuts for breakfast...regularly. Maybe frozen white fish baked in the oven for dinner last night wasn't so bad afterall.
Scott also really likes music. He always asks for music in the car and likes to sing songs before bed. He will sing a few songs himself (although I can't tell what they are yet) which is really cute.
15 months....I can't believe it!
