15 Months Meo

Trying on Daddy's shoe (15 months)

Mattimeo is now sixteen months old, but I never got a chance to summarize his fifteenth month (we've been very busy), so I will do that now. Here are some of the highlights:

He had his 15 month check-up and was very healthy. He had one vaccination and miraciously didn't cry during or afterwards! I was kind of in shock. He weighed 22 pounds and 8 ounces (46th percentile), was 31.5 inches long (60th percentile) and his head measured in the 95th percentile.

His fourth tooth appeared (second incisor) on 11/28/2013.

Prior to turning 15 months old he could say at least 13 words:

Good
Mama
Dada
Dog
Cat
Theta
Wow
Owl
Ball
Hello
Meow
Turtle
Love you
(Sounds for fish, brmm, and neooow)

In his fifteenth month, he really started to pick up on more words. I have been kind of losing track recently, but here's what I did record:

11/15 go
11/16 egg (and first phrase: egg good)
11/19 gecko
11/20 uh-oh, cold
11/22 papa
11/24 ow, head
11/25 up, lumpa (jump in sanscript), Grandpa, LEGO
11/26 poop
11/27 apple, Buddy
11/28 no

Here are some photos from various 15 month activities:

The first snow that stuck for a couple hours:

Before Meo even looked out the window, this was the book he brought me to read in the morning!

Snow!

He loved stomping around in the snow so much, that after lunch he went and brought me his boots and pointed out the window. Then he disappeared and returned carrying my boots and pointed out the window!

Waiting to go back outside

Emptying the entire tupperware cupboard for Grandma:

Dad was really tired and fell asleep when he went downstairs to put Meo back to bed a couple times:

playing with Sharon and Braden

Grandma put Meo to bed for the first time so Robbie and I could go to our friend Josh's house for a bonfire. I guess he cried a lot and was very inconsolable because he thought we were upstairs (he kept pointing to the gates to go upstairs). Once Grandma brought him upstairs and he ran around the house looking for us and realized we weren't there he settled right down and went to sleep.
