Baby Zwei: 15 months. Ish.

Dear Keats, you're fifteen sixteen months old now. 

Last time I wrote I said that you were crawling faster and faster. Well, at just over one year, you started walking and have not slowed down one bit since. Unlike your brother, who still alternated crawling and walking for quite some time, you wanted nothing to do with crawling once you figured out how to walk. Nowadays, you practically run from place to place. You love being outside now that it has gotten warmer. The local park and playground is a favorite spot to run around, but you are just had happy standing in the driveway with bubbles, rocks, and bits of chalk. 

We are getting a few more words out of you these days. You are such a great mimic that you often point to yourself and say 'mama,' a result of my trying to teach you what to call me. We get 'dada's but it's often also a general cry for help. :) You think Lita's name is 'good girl.'  You love ducks and to 'quack.'  You will point and yell 'dah wun' (that one) to tell us what you want. Challenging for us because it sounds very similar to your versions of down and done. You also say hot, uhoh, up, and make lots of animal sounds. You love Wheels on the Bus and playing Ring around the Rosey with your brother. 

You have 16 teeth. Only two year molars left. Not looking forward to that. You do enjoy sleeping and do okay most nights. You still nurse 2-3 times a night, but I know that will be over soon enough. You take two naps during the day still too. I am going to hold on to those as long as I can since that is my only chance to get some work done during the day. 

Favorite toys now include Mr. potato head, playdoh, Star Wars Rebels figures, and the iPad. 

Favorite books include Crankenstein, Little Blue Truck, I am a bunny, and any of the That's Not My...books. 

You are such a happy kid most of the time. Quick to smile and laugh. You love to be chased and to hide. You love Frozen and to try to sign along. You love swinging. You love when your brother tickles you or has imaginary lightsaber duels with you. You even do sound effects. You are so much fun to have around. 

Love you forever,  Momma
