They say 15 months is the milestone for babies. This month little tots realize they can move around at their will and those chubby little appendages aren't just for grabbing onto mommy anymore. Jake has entered into his 15 month like a tornado. (Which really shouldn't surprise me since he is developing the temperament of one-that kid can have a fit.) He is trying so very hard to run, knows exactly what toys he wants and won't let anything-or any brother-stand in his way and wants down as soon as he is up. His hand-eye coordination is getting more defined too. He absolutely loves his blocks and can stack 4 at a time. His favorite word? Still Mommy. We're working on ball, hat and baby. And the boy has definitely got an arm. His Diego ball goes flying. He is really enjoying his newfound freedom and sometimes you can see the gears turning in his head when he encounters new things. He's changing into a totally different baby and friend for his brother.
Speaking of bro, we've been working on Daniel's letter writing. He's very good at making D's-or lopsided circles ;) The mommy in me says the letter "D", the practical one in me says circle, but he's getting the rudimentary skill down. His new favorite game is squeezing himself into the cabinet and "going night night". We're also enjoying trips to the library. He loves carrying the books and putting them in the collection box. And running up and down the shelves. We're working on that. It doesn't help that he can catch me at a tired moment and I just let him go for a bit. Is that bad?
I may be getting a little more growing up as well. It's still early stages so I don't want to mention a whole lot, but I do pray it works for the best. God's got my back ;)
Hanging out with Grandma Chris and jamming on Guitar Hero
Playing nicely...although shortly after this I think Daniel took the shopping cart away
Such balance
