Today Augustine turns 15 months! Here is an update of some of his progression.
-He can stand up on his own for at least 10 seconds.
-He can pull himself up on furniture and maneuver around it quite well!
-He can stand himself up without pulling on furniture.
-He can walk well when we hold both his hands.
-He can say (though unassociated with their meaning) “da da” “ma ma” “be be” “kat” “yep” “bye” and many other unintelligible utterings 🙂
-He loves dancing. He recognizes when music is playing and quickly starts to join in.
-He loves exploring!
-He loves to play fetch, throw him a ball, he will quickly crawl to get it and bring it back to you!
-He loves being tickled, especially anticipation involved in tickling. His squeal has become pretty contagious.
-He loves his daddy and has started crying when he leaves (this is new) as well as motioning for Shaun to carry him.
-He is enjoying learning how to turn pages in books and really enjoys touch-and-feel books.
-He is learning how to use the sign-language motion “more please” when he wants more food.
-He is understanding and responding to discipline well.
-He has dropped his morning nap and takes a two hour afternoon nap and sleeps from 7:30pm-7:30am at night.
-He loves painting, coloring (kindof), and patting these objects in a drumming noise.
-Augustine adores bathtime. He loves kicking his feet, splashing and playing with his bath toys.
-He has started learning how to play peek-a-boo himself. He will bury his head in the bed and then pop it up with a big smile!
-He is eating everything! He eats a full three meals a day, plus snacks. He is becoming very well at feeding himself too (food items like: bananas, orange slices, cheese slices, bread pieces, crackers, etc).
-He is officially on a sippy cup and thinks that bottles are only for babies 🙂
-He can crawl faster than you can walk!
-He loves making imaginary foods like ice-cream and soup for us to “taste-test” when using a kitchen bowl and spoon.
-He loves eating small objects… unfortunately.
-He is starting to snuggle with mommy when he wakes up from naptime which is a new tender side we are cherishing.
-He adores playing with toothbrushes.
-He gets super excited when he hears the “skype” ringing.
