15 Months

Asher turned 15 months a couple of weeks ago and is a busy boy!  He is talking up a storm, which is so much fun!  He can play more and more with the bigger kids and wants to be included in everything.  I can tell he is missing his brother and sister when they are at school and gives long hugs when they return.  He will ask me several times during the day, "Where's Liyah?" (what he calls Eli).  I am enjoying my one and one time with him while the big kids have a blast at school.  At 15 Months:
1.  Asher can say a LOT of words such as:  Mama, Dada, Nana, Papa, Bum, Becca, Eli, More, One more, Go car, Go walk, Bird, This, tree, baba, ball, banana, book, shoes, Munny (for bunny), and Marney (for barney), bye bye ___, Hi, Bubble, shoes, I want, juice, etc.  He is doing some phrases and copying wonderfully!
2.  Loves to run, wrestle, and go for walks or bike rides in the trailer.
3.  He is a monkey!  He is our first climber!  He climbs everything especially the little play kitchen, chairs, and the kitchen table.
4.  He loves reading books (especially ones about trucks or animals) and all of a sudden is a fan of Barney and the Wiggles.
5.  Asher is wearing size 4 shoes and 12-18 month clothes.
6.  He is a tiny little guy!  He is like 3% for weight and less than 3% for height.
7.  He is super affectionate and loves to give hugs (and pat your back while hugging), loves snuggling, and likes to be rocked to sleep.  He also sleeps through the night now unless he is sick or teething (has already cut all of his molars).
8.  Asher is my big helper.  He will clean up a spill, bring the other kids their shoes or backpacks, and follows directions wonderfully!
9. He likes playing with blocks, airplanes, cars, balls, animals, and anything the big kids have.
10.  He LOVES art and music.  He and Cora love to color, playdoh, paint, stickers, etc.  He also loves to dance to kid's praise songs.  He claps and grooves with his sister.
11.  He has started going to Sunday school and has made it the entire time two weeks in a row (with some periods of crying).
12.  Asher still loves his Nana more than anyone on this earth (even me) and asks for her all the time.
13.  He got his first big boy short haircut and looks a lot more like Eli than we realized with it!  He is very proud of it and showed everyone we saw for the first few days after he got it.
14.  Asher is still just the sweetest little boy.  We all adore him!
