At his 15-month appointment waiting for Dr. Parsons
Strummer is ever changing and growing every day! He is now 31-1/4 inches and 23 lbs - 9 oz.
He has started throwing small tantrums. If he doesn't like something or wants something and we won't give it to him, he'll start crying or stomp off and pout. Pretty funny how early they start that!
Now onto the 'good' things:
He seems to learn new things all the time. He is signing 'please', 'more', 'milk' and 'all done'. He is also saying more words like 'no', 'thank you', 'uh-oh', 'whoa', 'shoes', 'light' and some other phrases. He is also a great chatter-box. If he isn't saying words you understand, he's saying something! We just don't know what! He now knows where his head, nose, eyes, ears and mouth are if you ask him. He also seems to sing at times and will dance around even w/out music! He can be such a riot to just watch! :D
He LOVES climbing...on everything! We have a little step that he uses to help him get onto things that he will move around depending on where he wants to go. He also loves playing piano! He will have the step by the bench, climb onto the bench, sit down and play the piano. He of course, also loves playing the guitar!
Another love is PUPPIES! He loves Bosco. When asked what Bosco says, Strummer will 'growl'...it's pretty funny. He also points out any dog that he sees in a book, on TV or in person and gets very excited. And often will make the 'growling' sound when he sees them in a book.
He also enjoys running - everywhere. He LOVES when we are at the Y. Once I get his coat off, he will run to the basket of balls in the office area and play w/them until I take him into Child Watch. Then when I'm done working I will get him from CW and he will go and (literally) run out b/c he's so excited to go visit everyone. He'll go into the social room and look out at the pool, go in the cardio room and hop onto a treadmill (when it's not to busy) he's very fascinated when he sees someone on one and it looks like he is trying to figure out how they are moving. He will then run over to the gym and he points at the big basket full of basketballs, so I will get one and he runs around and throws the b-ball around the gym....entertaining the people who are walking around the gym. Then he runs around some more and then we go home. It's an excellent way for him to get some energy out!
We are so blessed that he's a mellow, happy and overall very good kid! Just like how he has been acting since he arrived in our lives nearly 16 months ago!!! :o)
He is at 55% for height
