Dearest Baby O,
Wow, I can't believe that you are 15 months today! However, I wish you were able to spend your 15 month birthday without a 103 degree fever, my poor little baby Buster. Hopefully, by tomorrow we will have back up and running like normal...and I do mean running!
I can hardly believe that 15 whole months have gone by! Not to mention how much you are changing each and every day! Stop growing up so fast, Stinks! You just keep on surprising your Momma and Daddy everyday with all the new stuff you show us that you now know. You are a constant babbler and I'm pretty sure you know what are talking about too. Just yesterday, you had an entire conversation with yourself in the hallway. I couldn't make out a thing you said but you just kept going on and on and pointing out things up and down the hall. Daddy says that he and I are going to be in big trouble when you start using actual words that we understand because you are going to have SO MUCH to say. We probably won't be able to get a word in edge wise. Daddy is used to that BUT your Momma, not so much! Nothing is more precious to me than you chatting away in your crib in the morning when you wake up or in the afternoon when awaking from your nap. You just chat away until someone comes in to get you. I'm just waiting for the day when you call out for Momma or Dad to come get you.
You do saw a few words that we always understand like Momma, Dad, woobs, moo, hi, BUT...you love the word HOT! Everything is HOT! And boy do you love being in the kitchen, maybe one day I can turn the culinary reigns over to you, Stinky-magee. You are obsessed with pots and pans and ANY cooking utensil that you can pull out of the drawers AND tupperware! You LOVE to put lids on just about anything and you are also rather good at putting items inside other containers. I'd say you have pretty much mastered your fine motor skills. :)
You are also turning out to be quite the climber. Mommy seems to be the one thing you like to climb the most. Lately, I feel like I have a little monkey on my back no matter where I am in the house. I always seem to have a little somebody hanging off me and it's definitely not Daddy :) You also like to climb on the pint-sized bench we have in front of the bay window. You and Murphy like to watch Daddy water the grass and the plants from that locale. If only we could get you to get off the bench in a safe manner...
You also like to ride around on your alphabet train, bounce around on RODY, and you love to be pushed up and down the hall on your scooty-scoot Tigger 3000 Airplane (Mommy's back feels the wrath for days)
And you are definitely a lover of the outdoors. You are just like your Momma when it comes to being cooped up indoors for too long...you get CRANKY. You are still Momma's best running partner and now you love going on bike rides in your new bike trailer. We've clocked a lot of miles on the puppy and we haven't even had it that long. You enjoy going to the park and running around on the grass but you especially like to be pushed on the swing (baby swing, of course)! We have to get as much of the outdoors as we can while the summer weather is still sticking around.
Well Stinks, I think I can hear you chatting away upstairs, you must be up from your nap :) Just know that your Momma loves you more than you will ever know. Happy 15 Months boo-boo butt!!
Love,
Your Momma
