Christmas lights in Simpson Park
We spend Thanksgiving up in Chillicothe and before we left to head home that night we drove through Simpson Park so West could check out the lights. They were awesome! He loved them!

15 months!
New things and fun quirks:
He can say dada, mama, dog (dah), cat (at), up (ah), done, hot (ot), amen (ahmee), no (na na na while he's shaking his head), diaper (dita), hi, and shoes (shehs).
He still signs for more, milk, eat, and all done.
Goes 'ahh' after taking a drink of milk and 'mmm' after eating food.
Can point to his nose, chin, mouth, eyes, hair, and belly.
He's obsessed with opening and closing doors, so much so that he evens wants us to lift him up to the doorknob so he can pull them closed when we go from room to room.
He sometimes answers our questions by nodding or shaking his head.
He loves grabbing our hands and pulling us all over the place.
He gives kisses.
He loves playing outside, talking on the phone, reading books, coloring, spinning in circles, climbing on anything and everything, and running and playing with us (especially peek a boo and chase)
His schedule:
He's been on just one nap a day for a couple months now and is doing great. He wakes up at about 7 and we have breakfast first thing, then a snack at about 9:30 or 10, lunch at 12, and then nap at about 1. He naps anywhere from 1 hr 15 mins to 2 hrs. We eat dinner when Brad gets home at 6 and then he goes to bed at 7.
His eating:
So everyone who knows Brad and me will laugh when we say this - but man our kid is a picky eater! He's had some ups and downs in the last two months - one stretch where he'll hardly eat anything followed by a few days where he wants to eat all day. He's also had a few different bugs so we're sure that affected his appetite. We are just trying to go with the flow and not get too worked up when he's not eating as well as we want (though I still take him to get weighed once a month). Some things that were favorites before he'll hardly touch now, like cheese, pastas, and chili. Some of his favorites now are bananas, yogurt (plain or greek), any sort of crackers, toast, peanut butter sandwiches, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, green beans, pinto beans with cheese, and raisins.
His growth:
He now has 12 teeth all the way in! The last of his four "first" molars first showed up just over a month ago actually, but they've been slow on coming all the way in so it was a rough few weeks. Hopefully we'll catch a little break before the next round.
He had his 15 mo appt today. He weighs 20 lbs 10 oz (right under the 25th percentile) and is 30 3/4 in tall (25-50th percentile). He screened just at a 2 yr old level. He had to get 4 shots. :( His doctor says he looks great!

Fun day with Grandma Rosemary
These were actually taken back on November 8 and they got buried under other pictures before I had a chance to blog them. Whoops - better late than never, right??
