15 Month Update

* He walks very fast - I dare say nearly runs. He also is much steadier all around - taking corners and can even walk backwards a bit.

* Had a growth spurt - he seems much heavier and taller in the last 10 days or so. I am guessing he is about 25 1/2 lbs and 31 1/2 inches. We will see next week at his 15 month check up. He is still wearing his 18-24 month clothes generally - with a few 12-18 stragglers and 2T leaders. His T-shirts, especially, tend to be 2T.

* He eats a lot more food in terms of quantity - same favorites - cheese, watermelon. Tomatoes, peas and corn are also huge hits. He isn't yet into sweets - can't get him to even try ice cream!

* He has learned the signs for drink and cat in the last week or so. Eat/more have been combined, but they get the point across.

* Still no officially words yet, but he does do "FFFFFUUUUUHH" for fan and a noise that sounds kind of like "whasthat" when he is inquiring about something. He does do Dada for Steve, but that has sort of evolved to be any person is dada.

* He loves to sit on little chairs, play with a sheet (lift it up, shake it, crawl under it, etc) and ride in his little car and on his trike - he could be pushed in those all day.
