Madden 15 Months

Our little guy has taken off on two feet full time since my parent's visit.  He has been taking steps since 12 1/2 months but he decided he needed 3 months to want to walk full time :) He is similar to Stella in that way, they both took their sweet little time on deciding when they want to be mobile.  Now is is on the go all the time and I'm so glad he is fully walking everywhere because he loves to be outside with the girls playing and it's hard to let them do that if they aren't walking full time.  In the beginning he was very proud of himself everytime he would take 6 or 7 steps and he would clap every time he did it.  Now he gets around awesome and is pretty sturdy.

He continues to be super picky about trying new foods but he is getting alittle better.  It's mostly with fruits, I think it's the tartness he doesn't like but I have discovered if I make a fruit smoothy, he will drink that and it's a good way to get the fruits in him since he will only eat applesauce or a banana cut up at this point, however he did eat a few apple slices the other day so we are making progress.  He loves green beans like they are going out of style, still a fan of avacados, not into milk so I have to get him several things of yogurt a day to get the fat content in him.  He loves cheese, water, crackers, grilled cheese, chicken, hot dogs, bagels (anything bread of course), oatmeal, he eats craisens here and there and he started eating cucumbers on occassion too. 

He is by far the most dramatic out of all the kids so far, if he gets told no or yelled at, he will put his head in his heads and cry or his little bottom lip will quiver and his eyes start to tear up, so cute though I must admit!  I'm loving the stage he is at right now, other than the little toddler tandrums here and there.  He is so much fun to watch and be around, he has the hardiest laugh ever and he is constantly saying new words, laughing at himself and the girls.  He loves to push any button or switch he sees and loves all the remotes of course.  He has discovered sticking out his tongue alot and he can show you where his head, hands and toes are.  He can say the usual Mama and Dada, Marley, hi, thank you,Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, Gabba (from Yo Gabba Gabba-his favorite show ever, oh joy!) and it seems like every day he is saying something else.  He loves to dance and chase after the girls and he talks all the time in his own martian language and he really thinks he is saying something.  He likes to go around the house and yell things and call for the girls except he can't say their names yet.  He is a huge cuddle bug which I'm so glad for since I would be heartbroken if he didn't like to snuggle.  Love my boy!
