Happy 15 Months, Ittyboy!

At 15 months, Ittyboy:

• Says two-word phrases, "Up, Mama!" and "Bye, Daddy!"
• Runs. Often chasing his big brother.
  
• Can crawl up all stairs, fireplace hearths and ottomans.
• Could open the refrigerator and oven (until we put on childproof locks).
• Pulled down several vertical blinds covering the sliding glass door. (I wanted curtains anyway.)
• Says "Hi!" to every person he sees.
• Has 4 upper and two lower teeth.
• Loves to watch the "birdies" out the window.
• Uses a spoon and fork.
• Drinks from a cup.
• Dips whatever he's eating in the dip du jour.
• Dusts and wipes the floor with a towel.
  
• 'Reads' books.
• Had his first hair cut this week - while he was asleep!
  
• Nurses at naptime and bedtime (and brings his Boppy pillow to me when he wants to nurse).
• Picks up toys and puts them in his toy basket when asked.
• Vocabulary consists of: Daddy, Mama, Up, Bye, Hi, Alleluia, Birdie, Hot, Eye, Goggle, Hug, Luv and Ya-Ya-Yer (for his brother).
• Makes the first two parts of the sign of the cross and prayer hands.
• Finishes the musical phrase, "Here I come to save the..." with a big, "DAAAY!"
• Hasn't gone a week without some bruise, bump or scrape. All boy.

(I'll be adding to this list throughout the day. Diva Mom is suffering from a cold/flu/hopefully not strep throat thing and currently has medicine head.)
