15 Months!

Connor turned 15 months a bit ago!  We celebrated, yet again, with a doctor's check-up and shots (what a lucky guy, huh)?  At his appointment, he weighed in at 21 pounds 13 ounces (40th percentile) and 31 3/4 inches tall (75th percentile).

Here is what he's been up to...
Fave Foods: Bananas, blueberries, grilled cheese, PB&J, scrambled eggs, french toast, cottage cheese, yogurt, hot dogs, grapes, Italian ice, rice
Words: Dada, Mama, Doggy, Bubbles, Shoes, Ball, Bye Bye.  It's hilarious listening to him learn new words because for a few days, they come out sounding like swear words :)
Fave Toys: Balls, books, bubble lawn mower, bubbles
Clothes: 12-18 months
Shoes: Just started in size 6 shoes
New Developments: Running (usually ends with a nice fall or literally running into something), climbing onto anything at his level, taking things out of drawers and cabinets and putting them in others ("re-organizing" or "redecorating"), flipping through books on his own, and drinking from a straw

We have been to the neigborhood a few times recently and he is being more and more comfortable (and daring) in the water!  He likes to put his face in the water... well, until he drinks too much water then he's over it!

We have been really busy turning our new house into our home.  We hired painters to do the downstairs painting and had some very generous friends (The Rodenroths and Ed) help us paint Connor's room and the guest room upstairs.  I have learned that I really don't like picking out paint colors - what a difference it makes when you get the color on all the walls!  We still have a few more rooms to do but we're holding off on those for a bit :)

Here are some recent photos of the little guy:

So proud of himself for climbing up on the couch

Teething - YIKES

Connor and some of his friends at the zoo!

While Keith was out of town, Connor and I went to Chipotle - he obviously really enjoyed it :)

Hot july + teething = popsicles!
