patrick at 15 months






Amazingly, as Patrick gets older his cheeks get larger and therefore bouncier...I LOVE THEM. 

Fifteen months is awesome.  Patrick is lively, loud, and fast.  He's talking up a storm, making up words that sound like "peaches" and "giraffe" to him but not to anyone else.  I had this list going in my head of all the words he knows and then I thought this is stupid.  I'm not going to compare him to anyone else or to my future children - nor will he ever ask what words he was saying in December of 2013 so what's the point of writing them down??

Here is a recap:

  • Weight/Height:  I don't know.  26 pounds??  Tall enough to ride the Raptor?  Who cares.
  • Clothes:  Depends on the brand - anywhere from 12-18 mos to 2T (bought the first 2T today...it was a milestone.  I love the T's.)
  • Sleep:  SUPER SUPER SUPER!!  Sleeps 7p - 6a most nights!  Now that's most nights.  We've had some 3 am'ers here and there but it's no big deal to me, seeing as I haven't slept in over a year.
  • Teeth:  Still 4 on top, 4 on bottom
  • Food:  We're to a golden age in food.  Feeling lazy?  PB & J!  Feeling fancy?  Salmon and rice it is!  Feeling soupy?  Whip up some barley vegetable!  He'll eat anything except broccoli.
  • Tantrums:  Stomps feet, even throws himself to the ground.  They last a total of eight seconds.
  • Toys:  He plays with his toys when Jeff is home.  When it's just him and I, he is whining at my feet or begging me to play blocks with him on the floor.  There is no such thing as Stef time when we're alone.  Am I okay with that?  Yes.  One of the coolest new things he gets to do is sit on the counter while I cook...he likes being up high and I get dinner on the table for my hungry husband.
  • Likes:  Playing "I'm gonna get you!", going for wagon rides, being outside, playing with the remote, snacking, juice, dancing, climbing on the kitchen chairs, opening and closing doors, going up and down steps, not listening, taking showers with Daddy, playing with cell phones.

He's a happy kid, and we can't ask for more than that!
