Happy Fifteen Months!

Peter is growing and changing so much, it's amazing how different he is than just one year ago. He really isn't a baby anymore, and is becoming more like a little boy every day. He loves to run, to read and to dance. He babbles a lot, but doesn't have many words. He does say apple, nap, bah (which can be either a ball or a balloon), and he points to things and says "dat!". He definitely understands what we are saying to him, but doesn't always listen.

He is a big fan of being and playing outside, and really seems to enjoy the beach, the park and the pool. So far, he has been to the beach once, been to the (baby) pool a few times at different houses, and the park many times. This morning, I guess he was tired of being stuck indoors because he climbed into the stroller, and tried to put on the straps.

We are holding steady at six teeth, but I think that the molars are going to come in at any time now the way he's been chewing on his hands. Last night, after Geoff had finished brushing his teeth, Peter decided that he wanted to do it himself. So he took the toothbrush, ran it under the water, and started brushing himself.

He is eating like a champ, and while we are still being careful with the dairy, there is little else he won't eat. Luckily, he stills seems to enjoy a variety of foods, and I'm hoping that he'll just skip the toddler "only beige" phase entirely.

Unfortunately, due to a fever, Peter's well visit has been postponed, so I don't have the official stats yet. I will update that information a week from Monday.

There are more pictures in the July album, which I will continue to update throughout the month. Also check the family blog for more updates and pictures.
