Big Boy

Fifteen months old check up went great.  He is still a champ when it comes to shots.  It was just unfortunate that the appointment fell on nap time.  He still did great.  He read a book in front of the doctor and is ready for all the big boy next milestones.  These include potty training, exclusively adult food and use of cups, spoons and forks, lactose free milk and to keep running around.

I spent a half an hour last night trying to think of all the words he knows and I had to stop counting.  He knows over 200 words and over a dozen phrases.  However, he now adds multiple words and new phrases daily now so the counting is over.  He is just a big boy talker.  He can identify E, O, P and W out of the alphabet right now.  He tries to read everything.  He is high stepping and says, "Run," every time he runs into the room now.  He will also sometimes put his arms straight behind him, lean forward and look like he is flying through the air like a super hero, though he has never seen a super hero in action before.  He also roars to dinosaurs, bad guys and scary monsters or aliens.  More fun every day.

I cannot believe February is more than half way over.  This cold and snowy month has been so fast.  I am glad we do not need to celebrate Valentines day.  One less thing to stress about on a particular date. My aunt turns 101 tomorrow though.  That is something to celebrate.  So wonderful.  I hope to catch her on the phone to wish her the best.
