15 month stats and 16 month milestones

I'm very behind on all the things Cason is saying and doing these days.  I need to get these written down before I forget and regret it later.

15 Month Stats (he was about 15.5 months at his appt)

Weight: 26lb, 2oz

Height: 33inches (90th percentile)

What's he doing at 16 months?

  • Walking, or running everywhere
  • Crawls up and down the stairs, trying to learn to walk up them
  • Can reach all the lever handles on the doors... meaning he can escape if the deadbolts aren't locked
  • Can go down the slide by himself
  • Can climb on and off his ride on toys
  • Still loves his bed and his bedtime giraffe (we had to buy a couple of extra for travel)
  • Saying lots of words, the ones I can think of are
    • Shoes - "Shoos"
    • Fishies - "Shishes" (in reference to Goldfish crackers)
    • Dog
    • Cracker - "Crack"
    • Grapes - "Gops"
    • Hi! - if we give him our cell phones or anything that resembles a phone, he puts it to his ear and says "Hi!"
    • Bye
    • "Ooooo", "Mmmmm", "Wow", "Whoa".  The cutest is when I put down one of his favorite foods and he says "Mmmm".
    • "Ma", "Mama", "Da", "Dada"-- on occasion.  Dada more than Mama that's for sure.
    • Dance - "Dunce"
  • Understands everything we say:
    • Go find your shoes
    • Where's your milk, ball, giraffe, etc?
    • Let's go upstairs (he RUNS to the stairs)
    • Time to go Night Night (also RUNS to the stairs)
    • Lets eat Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner (runs to his high chair and starts grabbing at the tray)
    • Want to feed your brother/Admiral? (runs to the food container, waits for us to scoop the food, runs to the door and opens it... I think he mainly just likes opening the door)
    • Dunk it (takes whatever toy and dunks it in the basketball goal)
    • Where's your ears, eyes, belly button, nose, mouth, feet, etc.  He'll point at them all except mouth, in which he just opens and closes his mouth a bunch of times.   He can also identify all these things on other people.
    • Cason, Dance -- starts bouncing and moving his arms
    • Bounce, Bounce/Jump Jump -- he bends his knees, bouncing up and down, tries to jump then sort of falls on his bottom and laughs his head off. 
    • Give Mommy/Daddy a Kiss/Hug -- the favorite part of my day, oh, I love his hugs and kisses, especially the unprompted ones.
  • His favorite things:
    • Eggs
    • Corn
    • Grapes
    • Tomatoes
    • Being Outside
    • Pulling all of his toys out of the cabinet
    • Opening and closing doors, especially the ones to the pantry and our closets that have light switches in the door jams.  He likes to close himself in our closets where it gets really dark, then he just opens the door back up.
    • Bath Time and Bed Time
    • His stuffed giraffe
    • Stairs
    • Daddy, Grandpa and Granpoo -- he loves the men in his life.  I know he loves us girls too, but the men, oh, they have a special place.

I'm sure I'm forgetting things... Ryan will probably have more to add to this list, but at least I finally have it written down so I can look back on it later.  I love this little guy.
