busy, busy boy

today i had such a busy day learning so many new things...here they are!

i learned about sharing:

i learned about the sprinkler and how it is very easy to get wet & muddy......see my shoes?!it was so much fun getting so messy!momma said my puppy couldn't come play...

i learned about problem-solving:

problem: the balloon is too high, i cannot reach ittrial & errorsolution: daddy showed me how to stand on a book to reach things!success!
and finally...
i knew daddy was home, but i couldn't see over the baby gateso, climbing the gate was clearly the best option
p.s. check out my puppy's ears...she's pretty excited to see daddy too!
momma is pretty impressed with how much i'm learning lately, she said something about a sponge. i like to repeat what i hear and when i read books i like to repeat the last word of each page. it's kind of a fun game i play with momma. here are some more of my skills:
-i'm pretty good at animal sounds
-i know that a kangaroo goes hop, hop, hop; that a bunny scrunches its nose; and that a hippo stomps on the ground
-i know the actions to "itsy bitsy spider" and "lord's army"
-i can run
-knucks, high-fives & kisses
-i can say "i love you"
-when momma asks me where an object is in a book i can point to it and i usually get it right
-i'm pretty good at emptying the bookshelves in my room
-and i know LOTS of words. i went to the doctor on friday and he was very impressed with my vocabulary. what can i say? i like to talk!

oh, and at 15 months i weigh 24 pounds and am 31 inches long. i am short and mid-weight, but i have big head :) momma and daddy say i'm lots of fun right now! it sure is fun learning all this new stuff!
