The Fiendling’s 15th month was a tough one with the cast and it’s hard to tell what’s a new development and what’s not, but here are a few notes so I don’t forget
He’s getting to be neurotic like me. He doesn’t like when his hands get dirty and he wipes them on the nearest shirt, usually mine. He also picks up crumbs from the floor and hands them to me. His favorite new toys include a small broom, the dustbuster, a dustpan and brush, and a swiffer I’ve modified so it’s his height. He’s not so good at cleaning yet, but I love that he’s trying.
His vocabulary has really stalled, but he’s babbling constantly these days. He sings to himself and talks to himself and correctly calls Boyfiend and I “daddy” and “mom” when he sees us.
He loves splashing in the baby pool and even though he was freezing and his lips had turned blue he cried when I took him out of it the other day.
He’s getting good at figuring things out, like gate latches and doorknobs and bottle caps. He knows how to unscrew, how to latch and unlatch our front gate, our side gate and our neighbor’s gate and is working on figuring out the baby gates. I’m not encouraging that one.
He just started really climbing yesterday. The cast really slowed him down on that one. He climbed up on the couch several times and got himself down without injury.
He understands everything, and shakes his head yes or no (usually no) when you ask him questions.
He’s getting better about eating. He’s suddenly developed a bit of an appetite and eats more than he ever has before.
Most nights he goes to sleep without nursing, but he still nurses (sometimes for hours) in the morning and cries if he sees Boyfiend instead of me first thing.
He has a very good memory. He knows where things go, and where to find things in places we visit. For example, the library has a cat shaped door stop which he seeks out every time we go.
He loves Doodlebug and Baby Doodle and would rather sit them than me when we’re just about anyplace.
He’s still very stingy with his kisses, but he hugs often.
Opening and closing doors is still a favorite pastime.
He’s still a Cheddar Bunny addict.
