15 months

Our little boy is growing up sooo fast. Here are some of the things he has been doing at fifteen months.

*Casey loves to stick out his tongue and loves it even more if we mimic him.

*He just learned how to drink out of a straw.

*His first sentence was "Hi dada!" as he twisted his little hand left and right to wave at him.

*When Casey gets full or chooses not to eat something, he puts it in the cup holder of his highchair tray. I guess this is his way of telling us he doesn't like something. ;) If he really doesn't like something (like the asparagus we had for dinner), he will immediately drop it out of his mouth and use his fingers to get the taste off his tongue. That is a pretty funny sight to see.

*Casey's personality is starting to come out more and more. It especially stands out when we go to the Little Gym because there are so many other toddlers his age. Some of them are clinging to their mommies with every ounce of energy, some like to play by themselves, some are scared to try new things. Casey has a strong sense of independence, and won't even look back to see if his mommy is nearby. He will take every opportunity to practice skills in front of everyone and loves to go around the circle, smiling and making eye contact with each adult.

*Casey is really beginning to love playing with his big brothers. He watches in awe to see how they interact with toys and immediately mimics them. He will laugh if Jacob and Gavin are doing something silly, which they totally eat up and act silly all the more.

*He just learned how to open doors and is so super proud of this feat.

*Casey will not let me do dishes without climbing inside and pulling everything out, so I usually try to unload and load the dishwasher when he is sleeping.

*He is soooo boy and even grunts... which cracks me up.

*I think we have another talker on our hands, as Casey will babble up a storm all day long. We have no idea what he is saying, but he does for sure! He will even match what he is babbling about with adorable facial expressions.

We are enjoying and soaking up every second of watching our little boy grow up!
