Stratton at 15 months

Stratton at 15 months in one word: MESS!! He is into everything! Loves to climb, be outside and play in the dirt. . .pretty much an average boy! He is very vocal! Even though we can't understand what he is jabbering about he likes to tell us about it! We can catch a word or two sometimes! I think he tries to sing sometimes, but it's not been anything I recognize so far. This week I told him to go get a book out of the bookcase and bring it back and he actually did it! He usually gets side tracked on the way to the bookshelf and never makes it there and back with a book. Hooray for small victories!! One night Jarrod read The Big Red Barn (one of his favorites) like 5 times. When he got done reading Stratton would turn it back to the first page and want him to read it again! ha-ha!

Sunday afternoon I was in the living room folding clothes and Stratton was in the kitchen (I could hear him) then all the sudden it got really quiet. . . . hmmmm. . .quiet isn't something I am used to lately. . .so I went to see what he was up to, and this is what I found. . . .

He had gone in our bedroom and found a laundry basket and decided to sit in it?? There he sat just content as could be??

He loves shoes and socks, so when he found a sock of Jarrod's in a laundry basket he wanted to put it on! It's pretty funny that Jarrod's foot and Stratton's whole leg are the same size. Jarrod does have some big feet though!

We took him for his 15 month checkup and shots this morning and he did great! He even got his first flu shot (well, half of it, we go back for the other half next month) he did so good he got 3 suckers! Which he was happy about. . . me, not so much.

Weight: 26 lbs~ 75th percentile | Height: 32.5"~ 90th percentile | He is wearing 18-24 size or some 2T's in clothes, size 6 shoe, size 4 diapers| He still takes 2 naps, one in the morning and one in the afternoon on a good day | He goes to sleep around 8pm most nights and is up and ready to go at 6:00am

He is getting so big, I can't believe that he is walking and talking and getting so smart!
