Carson: 15 Months

First off can I start out asking, where did August go?! And now, what has little man been up to lately. The most exciting is definitely walking! His first "walking" started at 14 months and 16 days, although he was taking steps the week prior to this. But on this day he was standing up and down on his own and walking in circles around the house :) After that he seemed to go on a hiatus. Maybe he thought it was overrated and crawling was just as efficient. So for a week he only walked in the evenings, and I couldn't get him to walk outside. Well exactly 7 days after this hiatus started, it was like he re-learned all over again. He now walks all over the house and we've been working more and more on walking outside.

So what else is new... I am starting to notice him understand concepts. For example, when we come back from outside I say, "can I take your shoes off" and his sticks his foot in the air. I'll then say, "ok can we put our shoes away," and after showing him where one goes, he crawls over and throws the other one in the shoe bin by the front door. He'll even try to put shoes on himself, but gets angry when he can't get them on. He will grab a dog toy and when I says, "can you give that to puppy," he'll go find Snyder and throw him the toy he has. And lastly when daddy isn't awake yet, I'll say "go find daddy" and he walks to our room and babbles with delight "dadada." He likes to push buttons on things and put objects together. The other day he took a plastic ball and put it on a small tupperware (it looked like an ice cream cone) and then walked all over the house! But the best is his dinosaur noises! The other day at My Gym open play, he was walking around "growling" and some little boy goes, "Yeah, you aren't that scary." Hahaha!! Oh Carson, you make us laugh and bring us so much joy.
