15 months.


Fifteen months old.  Seems so strange to even say......I feel like I should be saying fifteen days, or even fifteen weeks....but months?   

As the days have turned into weeks, and the weeks have turned into months, I have had the privilege of watching my little babe grow from a cuddly infant to a curious toddler.  

Little Man, 
The world is so interesting to you and I love seeing how you explore everything!  I love so many things about you at this age....I have to say, it is my favorite so far.  I enjoy seeing you trot from place to place ready to see what is around the corner.  But I absolutely adore how you crawl in my lap when you are sleepy or need a snuggle....this tops my list!  

Here are some of your favorites at 15 months:

You love.....

running behind the couch and jumping out to play "peek - a - boo"

playing ball (throwing, kicking, chasing!)

reading books, especially your favorites that you point to and say, "this!" (actually "dis!")

playing outside.....just being outside in the yard/driveway makes you happy

listening to music and you love to dance  (bouncing up and down and swaying back and forth...it is so cute

when your Daddy comes home at night...you run to the doorway because you are so excited to see him! (especially after a long day with mommy!)

blueberries!!  (I'm afraid you might turn into one big blueberry!)

dogs!  and making the "woof, woof" sound - constantly  - when anything even resembles a dog

climbing things.....couch, chairs, bed, ottoman.  (yes, this one scares your mommy)

riding the "horsey" at Grammie and Granddaddy's 

running around the house, hoping someone with chase you - this makes you laugh so loud!  

your favorite little yellow blankie....you sleep with it every night



You hate....

getting your teeth brushed....you like to chew on the brush....but when mommy takes over  - watch out!  remember this post when you loved brushing your teeth!

coming back inside the house after playing in the backyard

when Daddy leaves in the morning...you love him so much!

getting your diaper changed because you don't want to be still for even ONE minute!  

not being able to climb the stairs...(as you gaze through the gate thinking how fun it would be)

when other people play with your toys!  (sharing...this one we will have to work on...maybe a brother or sister would help??!  just joking!  well, maybe)

when mommy is on the computer...you actually come sit in my lap and block my view!  (which is why I am blogging during your nap!)



It is hard to imagine that we have come this far...when it only seems like such a short time ago you were still so tiny!   I thank God everyday for you and how you have changed my life.  You, my little one, made me a mommy, and for that I will be forever grateful.  

My cup runneth over,
Mommy


Happy 15 Month Birthday, my sweet baby boy!!!!!!!

Are you sure we didn't give birth to the same child? These loves and hates are exactly the same as Macklan's. I even read the post to Scott without telling him who wrote it, and he thought that I had written it about Macklan on my blog! He said, "Sounds just like him. You might want to add Dora." I don't know if Macklan loves blueberries since he hasn't had them yet, but he does love outside, dogs, books, his blue blankie, climbing, playing chase and throwing balls, and brushing his teeth...ONLY if he gets to hold the toothbrush and chew on it! We've got to get these two adorable boys together. I'll be in Bowling Green next Saturday (22nd)all day. Would you like to do a play date?

Sorry, I saw that you posted on MckMama's blog, and asked how to do the strike out thing with the words. I just recently learned how, and thought I'd help you cuz MckMama's a little busy :o) To do the strike out you type your post and get it how you want it to look, then go to the "edit HTML" tab. Before the word you want to strike out you type in (with NO spaces) < strike > then right after the word you want to strike out you type out < / strike >. I hope I helped you out!!
