15 Months Old!!

Little Man,

You turned 15 months this week and like I say every month, I can't believe 15 months have already gone by! The last couple of weeks have been pretty exciting for you!

Last week the NC State Fair was in town and despite all the warnings to not go as it was the "infamous H1N1" breeding ground, we went anyway! You enjoyed watching all the people (and yes, you have learned early on that there are some strange people out there!), seeing all the lights, listening to the sounds of all the games. You even rode a couple rides with Daddy. We were able to visit with our friends, Michelle, Gage & Isaac for a little while. You enjoyed watching Mommy & Daddy eat all kinds of food as you snacked on your piece of pizza. We even played games to win you a few prizes!

You are still quite the picky eater. As you still eat your veggies, fruits and pastas, you are still staying far from meats. I think it is because you still don't have your molars to chew. You now have 6 teeth and have been chewing on your fingers so I fear your molars aren't far behind!

Mommy & Daddy had to do the dreadful deed of cleaning out your closet this week. Daddy wasn't happy and mommy was in tears. We had so many clothes, 6mon-12mon, that we had to pack away. Some of the gender neutral stuff we have given to your cousin, Ariana, some we gave to some families in need and MOST, we packed away for later....We couldn't part with most as the memories were too fresh to just get rid of them right now. People say this will get easier and lord I hope so! So, we had to go shopping for more stuff--boy how we love shopping for you!!
We went shoe shopping with Grandma Currie this week and you got 2 new pairs of shoes for the Winter! You love your new shoes!

You and Daddy have enjoyed watching football on Sundays and most of all baseball as the Yankees finally got to the world series this year! We are still waiting for you to grow into your "Jeter" jersey!

You still love playing ball and running around the house. You have a game where you beat on the wall while we count 1-2-3 and then you yell GO and run across the room to another wall. This can keep you busy for hours! You have found a new love in books and you will sit while we read them to you over and over again. We took you to Barnes & Noble where you were super excited to see so many books! Can't wait to take you to the library! You are learning new songs at school and love to sing "If you're happy and you know it..." and "Row, Row, Row your boat".

Halloween is this weekend and mommy was able to get off work so we can all go Trick or Treating as a family! Cannot wait!! You are even saying "Boo!" when you see the Halloween monsters! Love it!!

Until next time....

Pumpkin Patch

Hey big guy! Fall is finally here! We couldn't resist taking you out to a pumpkin patch this weekend to enjoy the crisp air. You had lots of fun climbing the bales of hay and watching the older kids jump from one to the other. You got a brave streak in you a few times and acted like you were going to jump as well, but thankfully didn't. You really weren't too sure what to do with a the hay around you. Daddy assured you it was ok to get dirty...this once. :-)

You and Daddy played on a real tractor. You loved pretending you were driving it!

We also did a corn maze. You relaxed in your stroller while mommy & Daddy went crazy trying to find the 10 check points. We did it! And in the words of your Daddy, "if in doubt, go right!"

After the corn maze, we went on a hay ride, pulled by a tractor. You were able to sit right up front and loved it the whole time!

I think your favorite part was the pumpkins at the end! You liked the tiny ones that you could throw around like balls. Anything round is a ball to you right now and boy, you have an arm!

A quick update on you....Mommy & Daddy are really enjoying all the time they get to spend with you! You are growing up so fast and are really becoming a big helper around the house! You are a week away from being 15 months! Mommy really enjoys looking at pictures of you from just a year ago and seeing how much you have changed already! You still only have 4 teeth, but there are 2 others cutting through as we speak. Your favorite things right now are macaroni and cheese, dancing, playing ball and still vacuuming! You are repeating more and more words after we say them! Just the other day, you did something and Mommy said "Wow!" you turned right around and repeated her and just laughed as if you knew what you had said! You have started saying No, however it isn't just "No", its "Nnnnooooo....".

Halloween is coming up and we have your costume...Its a Monkey. You hate it because of the hat that goes on your head. Hopefully you won't hate it too bad, when the big night comes!!

Can't wait to see what the next few weeks bring....
