15 Months (and a little more)

Right, so documentation of my son's fun little moments has taken a hit these past couple months while we've been living out of suitcases across the holidays and home buying adventures. I can sum it all up easily enough, though: he's still cute. So it may be a blur of what happened when between the one year and 15 month mark, but I do know he acquired the following developmental nuggets:

- Eating better with his own spoon and bowl. And by "better" I mean about 10% of the food makes it into his mouth versus the 3% hit rate he was getting before. [He is still running about a 90% contact rate with eyes, nostrils and hair.]

- Loves wiggling his way into (and thankfully out of) cabinets. The boy can't resist a cabinet door.

- Two front toofies are starting to make their way down. His peers are getting molars now, but at least Landon's teeth are still showing up to the party, albeit fashionably late.

- He is much better at pointing at objects to help communicate. For example, pointing at the coat rack and bringing over shoes to essentially say "Get off yer keysters and take me outside, people!"

- Still really enjoys Jack's Big Music Show and also thoroughly delights in watching Oswald (blue octopus show). We have an Oswald book where Landon will point and say "Aahwohl!"... ummm, we are talking melt-your-heart cuteness here, folks.

- Climbing, climbing, climbing. Chairs, end tables, sofas, boxes. If it has height and a hard surface underneath prime for noggin-knocking, he's on it.

There a million other little changes, but yeah, don't worry: he's still cute.

Matching up objects and slots of different sizes and circumferences. If a pot needs a lid, L's your man.

 

Hanging out by the cabinets to kill time in our temporary digs, waiting for our new home. L obviously has not had a haircut as of 15 months. The time will come, but we like his shaggy little 'do for now!
