15 Months!!

15 Months Already?? The months are going by faster and faster the older that Colton gets. Chris and I have had are hands full this month for sure!! Colton is exploring everything and is testing us every second of every day! He loves to explore the house and we often find him getting into every single thing around the house. He is the sweetest little boy and I really don't remember what my life was like before I had him. He brings so much joy to our lives!

Highlights from the past month:

• His favorite toys this past month: Lawn Mower, Fire Truck, Trucks and Cars, Books and Puzzles
• His favorite foods this month: Enchiladas (from Taco Casa), French Fries, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Mac & Cheese, Corn on the Cob and Oranges. He LOVES Mandarin Oranges, and will eat a whole can of them at one time.
• He can now hold his own fork and feed himself, however he does have trouble getting the food on the fork by himself. (He doesn’t like anyone to help him with this. He is VERY independent.)
• He is very attached to Mommy! He wants mommy pretty much any time that he is sleepy or hurt.
• He loves to play chase around the house.
• He loves to give sugar and "high five".
• He loves playing with Millie. He will now throw her the ball while playing with her.
• He loves to twirl around in the curtains in his bedroom. He recently found these within the past few days and he thinks it's the funniest thing!
• I can now put him in his crib around nap time and he will fall asleep on his own.
• He still loves to go outside!! He loves to go for rides in his car and he loves to swing.
• He throws a fit anytime the front or back door in our house is shut. He wants to go outside all the time and if we shut the door, he throws himself on the floor and cries.
• He is baby talking all the time, however he is only saying “mama” right now.
• He has started pointing at different things throughout the house, as if he wants us to look at it or that he wants to know what it is.
• He loves airplanes! Since we live so close to the airport, we pretty much see an airplane everyday while walking around the neighborhood. As soon as he hears the airplane, he starts looking up in the air and will point at it once he finds it.
• He has learned how to open the toilet seat in the bathroom. (Problem!)
• He likes to throw everything that he can find into the bathtub and turn on the water. (Yes, I have found clothes, lotion bottles, paper, etc. soaking wet in the tub) Needless to say, we now keep our bathroom doors closed at all times.
• He is testing us all the time! When you tell him "no", he will look at you to see if you are watching him, and most of the time he will repeat his action again. If we pop him on the hand he will smile and laugh at us, needless to say he gets in trouble all the time! I'm dreading those terrible 2's!!
• He wears size 4 diapers, is in 12-24 month clothing and wears a size 5 shoe.
• His Daily Schedule: Wake up around 7am, Breakfast @ 8am, Plays and watching cartoons until around 9:30 or 10am, Nap Time till 11:30am, lunch, Play time until around 2pm. Nap Time till 4pm, Dinner around 6pm, Bath Time @ 7:30pm, Bedtime @ 8pm.
