15 Months

Daniel is now 15 months old. He is a total toddler now, we get lots of tantrums, lots of him telling us no and he's running around like crazy. He also gives lots of hugs and smiles. He is a total tease, his favorite thing is to pretend to offer up a treat like blueberries or cheerios and then pull it away at the last moment. He thinks this game is hysterical. He is a good eater, his favorites are fruits and veggies (especially broccoli). Of course he also likes cookies. The funny thing is that Daniel thinks anything he doesn't normally get is a cookie including croutons and wheat thins. He is so good when we take him out to eat...as long as we keep feeding him! He is learning new words all the time. Some of his new words are school, coat and circle. He is getting pretty good at putting the shapes into a shape sorter. Daniel loves music. He will walk around the room hitting the buttons of all the toys that play music. He then stops and dances. It is so cute! This weekend we went to a children's concert at the synagogue. The performer was David Jack who is Daniel's teacher's husband. He loved it, danced in the aisles, played with his friends from school, tried to hug the dancing dinosaur... We also went to Daniel's first story hour at the library. They read some books, sang some songs and played some music. He had a good time there, then we walked across the street to Rittenhouse Square where there were lots of other babies and woof's (otherwise known as dogs) followed by lunch at Marathon with Mommom and Poppop. Good way to tire him out for a nice long afternoon nap! Today we visited Poppop at his office followed by Daniel's 15 month well visit at the pediatrician. Daniel was happy to see Poppop and play with his office aunts but not so happy to see the doctor today although I think that was mostly due to his stuffy nose and the two teeth trying to pop through his gums. Daniel now weighs 23 lb 13 oz and is 31 inches long and got his first MMR shot. The doctor was very happy with his progress which is always what a mommy wants to hear!
