15 Months!

The last few months have brought big changes. Evan started walking about a month after he turned one and each day his vocabulary expands by at least one or two words. I am continuously amazed by how much he knows and can do. I love that we can now communicate quite clearly with him. He can tell us what he wants and we can ask him to do things or explain things to him. It's great! I wanted to make a list of all the words that he knows but I am sure I would be forgetting some. Here are some of the most frequently used: Mama, Mommy, Dada, Daddy, Papa, Gramma, Danny, Bumpa, Gigi, Omi, (Grandpa) Bob, Hannah, ball, puppy, kitty, milk, juice, please, thank you, more, spoon, fork, bowl, eat, snack, Pooh bear, (Curious) George, Fitzy, Go-Go-Go (Red Sox), buh-bye, nah-night, truck, saw, book, shoes, back, oh no, I need, Elmo, outside, mail, cheese...among others. Not bad for 15 months!

As you can see from the photos and video, Evan is a good eater and can feed himself quite well. His utensil use has really improved lately which makes our lives much easier (and a little messier) because he is so proud to use his fork and spoon. He had a couple of rough days this month as he was getting more teeth but I think they are pretty much all in now, except for his molars. He is wearing mostly 18 month clothing (some of which is still too big) and sleeps 12+ hours at night. We are having so much fun and can't wait to see what comes next as he continues to amaze his mommy and daddy! Love you, pal!
