Right now...
Our baby boy is 15 months old already and a crazy monkey
boy!
Our little girl is as sweet and sassy as always!
Our big boy is soooo smart and loving school (and bubble baths)!
Here is a quick update about Ty and some pics!
Ty has certainly mastered and surpassed all of the physical
milestones at 15 months. This kid is
running (as quickly as those legs and belly will go) and climbing...the climbing! Ugh!
The good news though is that he gets it now. He knows he has to slide down the couches and
stairs on his belly. He LOVES climbing
onto the beds(he literally grabs on with all his little fingers might and pulls
and pulls until he makes it up). The
cutest part about that though is that he usually brings a book with him and
curls up to read in the bed.
He loves balls and baskets of any sort! With Luke and Paige in soccer this fall, he
has mastered kicking the soccer ball around too. He seriously is the best little dribbler. Everyone always got a good laugh watching him
dribble the ball around while we were at soccer games & practices. He always has a bat and ball nearby and
recently started going for the golf club too.
He is a boy of few words so far. He can say "all done" and
"down" and a whole bunch of other stuff we don't understand. Here and there we hear "bye" and
"hi", but nothing is very consistent.
I used to worry about this stuff, but not anymore (not yet
anyways). Paige was the same way. She turned 2 and started talking and hasn't
stopped! He certainly is babbling a lot
more these days so the words will come.
He knows how to get what he needs/wants - pointing is his favorite! And he understands everything we say to him. Sadly, he has also learned the art of
tantrums. He collapses to the ground
quite often lately!
Some of his favorite things besides sports are: dancing (the
cutest!), playing swords with Luke (yeah...ugh!), feeding Nala during mealtimes
(not cool!), playing outside (obsessed!), napping (such a good boy!), brushing
his teeth and taking a bath (he goes running to the bathroom when he hears
those words!), turning the tv on and off while we are watching something
(stinker!), cheering for the Cubs (seriously, he does!), emptying the cupboards
in the kitchen (so messy!), reading books (he can't get enough these days!),
making silly faces (he has the best expressions), and giving hugs and kisses
(ok, maybe that's MY favorite!).
He truly is amazing!
Life certainly got crazier when he came along, but I can't even imagine
not having him around. He is loved so
much by all of us and is just the cutest guy ever! That blond hair and those big green eyes melt
me everyday!
