15 Months Old!

I can hardly believe it. Landon turned 15 months on Sunday and you want to know what he FINALLY accepted on his 15 month birthday? MILK in a sippy cup!! Yes people, our little Landon has been completely bull-headed when it came to drinking milk out of a sippy cup. I remember this process with Adalyn. You want them off the bottle SO bad and when you first try a sippy cup of milk with them and they throw a screaming fit, it becomes very discouraging and quite frankly, super annoying and aggervating. Adalyn finally accepted milk in her sippy cup at 14 months old. Dr. Eastham wants babies off bottles by their 15 month check up so we were cutting it close! We spent about $30 or so on different cups. (That's annoying part # 2.) I have said this before I belive, but what works for your fist child will more than likely NOT work for your second. I just assumed (you know what they say when you assume...) the Nuby sippy cup that worked with Adalyn would work for him, too. Wrong. But, that doesn't matter anymore because something finally clicked with this stubborn little boy and it worked! This mama is VERY happy. The older Landon gets, the more and more he is picking up. It is so enjoyable and rewarding to watch him figure things out and to communicate with us. Here is a little info on our sweet 15 month old!
- 18 month shirts and pajamas are starting to get too small. 18 month jeans still fit fine.
- Still in size 4 diapers
- Size 6 shoe
- We weighed him the other day and he was just over 26 lbs
- He loves Adalyn very, very much! He loves playing with her, watching her, copying her, and fighting with her. Who knew siblings would fight so early in age?! Ahhh!
- Says "Dada" "MaMa" "Uh-oh"
- Can point to his eyes, ears, nose, belly, mouth, head, and hair when asked
- Sticks out his tongue when we ask "Where's your tongue?"
- Makes the animal sounds of a Cow, Chicken, Elephant, and Tiger
- Gives big, opened mouthed kisses
- Signs "All Done" "Sleep" "Giraffe" "More" "Please" "Dog" "Thank You"
- Loves flipping through books. He will pick up a book and walk backwards until he sits in your lap so you can read to him
- Loves to dance. He points at the computer and grunts until we pull up a music video. One of his favorites to dance to, Kip Moore- "Somethin' about a Truck"
- He learns so much just by watching and listening to Adalyn. Wilson, our Elf, is very popular in our house at the moment. Landon walks around with us every morning as we search for him. By watching Adalyn, he now points and screams with excitement when we find him. It's so cute.
- I will tell him to hold my hand and he grabs it and walks with me where ever I need to go. Ah, just precious.
- We call him our squealer. When he gets really excited/happy or really mad, he squeals (or yells) really loudly.
- He does not like to get his diaper changed.
- I'm pretty sure his favorite food is a Sausage and Biscuit. He will eat one any time of day.
- Has his first 3 molars. YAY! Teething bites! I'll be so glad when those pearly whites are in!
- He still has the whitest hair but it really is starting to grow. It looks like the hair behind his ears is starting to curl outward so he may have just have curly hair! Who knows! But I'm curious to find out.
- Landon is such a sweet, lovable, happy little boy. Happy 15 months big boy!
