15 Months

Again, I'm late putting this post up. With the house looking (and finding!!!), who can blame me?

Lukas is such an active little person these days. He still likes to take a 2 hr nap in the morning and another 2 hr nap in the afternoon, but in between those naps he goes non-stop. He is starting school September 2! I'm so excited for him! He's going to have so much fun, and learn so much more than I could teach him all by myself.

Lukas at 15 months:
- is about 22 pounds
- has, I think, 14 or 15 teeth (it's really hard to count teeth on a squirmy toddler)
- eats everything but broccoli (this he gives back as soon as you give it to him)
- says (or signs) 12 words: Mom/Mama, Daddy (yadi), bye bye (buh buh), Mel (Meh), thank you (ta-tu), you're welcome (eyum), Cheetoh (ee-toh...once), Mema (once), cat (once), milk (signed), please (signed), all done (duh)
- talks in sentences (with inflection and everything) in his own language....and expects me to understand it
- eats with a fork with about a 40% stabbing success rate...once it's on the fork he can easily get it to his mouth
- eats with a spoon with about a 50% success rate...about half of it ends up getting dumped somewhere between the bowl and his mouth, but he's getting better
- currently makes everything into a phone and talks on it
- follows simple commands
- loves to color
- wants to do everything that Mommy and Daddy are doing...he's very "helpful" with household chores
- loves animals, especially cats, to distraction....if it wasn't so hot this summer we'd be at the zoo a lot
- is finding out that anything can become a drum...and recently a flute
- loves puzzles, books, music, and blocks
- knows what shoes are for....and even puts on Mommy and Daddy's shoes
- knows how to brush his teeth and hair
- has discovered the wonders of swimming this summer...he is now a fish
- loves Mommy and Daddy more and more every day!

Smiles!!



Greeting Daddy at the door is a very exciting time of the day!



The next few are eating chocolate pudding. As you can see, he had a ton of fun eating it.

He's looking so big! I'm impressed with the spoon/fork. I selfishly put that off as long as possible. :)
