15 months for Reid!

How is it possible that Reid is 15 months already?  We just had his birthday party, it feels, and here he is 15 months!  He's such a sweet baby boy, so smiley and just so happy.  He loves dancing to music and really starts moving whenever there's a good beat.

We had his 15 month appointment today and found out that he also has ALL FOUR of his molars coming in at one time.  That would explain the bit of fussiness that we've had off and on - and I thought it was because tooth #8 just popped through...only to find out teeth #9-12 are on their way!  He actually has already pooped one molar, and another is very close behind.

His vocabulary is typically "Mama" most of the day ;)  Love a momma's boy!  He also regularly says "Dada" and has 1-2 other words.  He certainly knows a lot and it's really fun to see.  The other day I asked him to get me his milk, and he walks back in the room carrying his milk cup.  I also asked him to grab a book for me at bedtime, and he did.  Those are just a couple of examples of ways in which his communication is growing, just not his ability to verbally communicate.  I love watching him learn and grow into a bigger boy.  He has started giving hugs when you ask for them, and sometimes when you don't, too :).  He loves dairy and fruit.  Vegetables, not so much, but we're working on them.  Juicing has been successful for us in getting him veggies.  He's also down to 1 nap now, 90% of the time.  Truly, I'll only do 2 naps if I need to do something around 11-12, otherwise he goes down around 11:30 and sleeps about 2-3 hours.

15 month old doctor stats:
Length - 30.75 inches, 35%
Weight - 23.3pounds, 60%
Head Circumference - 18.5 inches, 50%

Reid is crazy active, in to everything, and always on the go!  He certainly keeps me on my toes and gives me a run for my money.  He also has a happy and smiley demeanor overall, except for those 1 year old independence moments when he wants to do what HE wants to do :)  but he brings us such joy and is such a great piece of our family.  We love him so, so much and are blessed beyond measure with his little life.
