15 Months

Sweet Lawson Jace is 15 months (and one week) old! I honestly can't believe it. I know I go on a lot about how quickly the time passes with this little guy, but seriously, it's crazy! It seems like this little boy changes/learns something new every minute of the day. Literally, there are days that I tell Jason something Lawson did in the evening (while Daddy is teaching a night class...boo), and he's surprised because it's something new from that very morning when Jason was with him.

He's all over the place and moving at full-speed. He loves to play outside. He loves to play with all trucks and cars. He loves to throw the ball (big or small or in-between). And, he loves books! Many times he will go into his room and get quiet. When we go to check on him, more often than not, he's sitting in front of his book shelf with a bunch of books laid out just flipping through one of them. I love his personality so much. He is silly and sweet and smart. He loves The Hot Dog Dance on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, the song at the end of Thomas the Train, and the beginning of Choo Choo Soul (with Genevieve). He even says, "Ah Boar Choo Choo, Ah Boar!", which for those of you who don't watch Disney Junior, translates to, "All Aboard the Choo Choo Train, All Aboard!" This is the Choo Choo Soul song.

He's getting much more comfortable being places with new people (as long as Jason or I are somewhere close by). We are still working on staying in the nursery at church, but we'll get there. He knows what he wants and when he wants it, which is good and bad, but we are working on this too :-). He loves to eat for the most part, and he will eat almost anything. He loves pancakes, cinnamon French toast, fruit, scrambled eggs, Hawaiian rolls, green beans, peas (yes, peas), carrots, sweet potatoes, sausage, ham, oh goodness, you get the picture. The kid can put the food away, and I am so glad. I know lots of people who's kids are picky eaters, so I feel very blessed that Lawson isn't.

At our 15 month check up, Dr. Jon says Lawson is health and very good natured. He commented on how well Lawson listens (which I actually thought was pretty funny). The nurse told us she had to double check his chart to make sure she was giving the right shots, because he talks more like a lot of two year old kids she works with rather than a 15 month old. He's right on track for average weight and height at 24 pounds and 2 ounces and 31.25 inches tall.

I have some much to share about what Lawson is up to at this point in his life, but I'll stop for now and just say how blessed we are to have a happy, healthy 15 month old little boy. I makes my day everyday. I'm not sure how we made it so long without him. Momma and Daddy love you very much Lawson Jace.
