15 Months

Holden had his 15 month check up this past week.  He is growing up so fast, each day that passes makes me more and more proud of him.  He learns so much and so quickly.

15 month stats:

26 lbs. 6 oz.
32" tall
18 1/2" head circumference

What Holden is doing these days:

• No picker eater here, Holden LOVES almost all foods.  Unless it gets cold, he'll eat anything.  Loves his milk too!
• He does knuckle bumps and high five
• If you ask, "Holden, how many are you?" he'll hold up both of his pointer fingers to let you know that he is "1"
• He is still doing the motions to itsy bitsy spider and has now started swinging his arms back and forth when we sing "row, row, row your boat."
• Holden has discovered that his legs not only allow him to walk/run, but they also allow him to climb.  Lord help me!  He can almost climb up his Little Tykes castle slide, which scares me to death!
• He had his first black eye and busted lip this month.  Both within the same week, first he tripped over my shoe at the Shops of Highland Village and face planted, then a few days later whacked himself in the check with a toy in the car, which lead to a black eye.  All boy!
• Holden loves to play ball, rolling it, throwing it or his best attempt at kicking it.  He's getting better at the kicking part, but only outside.
• He also strums his bottom lip like a guitar, he does this ALL THE TIME now.  Making all sorts of noise.
• He really hasn't started talking much yet, but I know he will when he is ready.  The fact that he knows so much without talking just amazes me!  He is so smart and picks up on things very quickly.
• And most of all, he is still the best little love bug.  This boy loves to give hugs and kisses!  And he is a ladies man. Any girl that looks his way or gives him attention, he thinks they are looking for sugars, so he starts sticking his next out to give them away.

I'm sure there are many other things that he has started doing since turning "1" but he keeps us so busy its hard to keep track of everything.  We're just so blessed to see the world through his little eyes, nothing else matters.

Love,
