My little pumpkins...Comparison

When I dressed John today, I realized that two years and one day ago, I put Jacob in the same outfit.  So, I decided to take a picture of John with a pumpkin in honor of Halloween.  John is technically six weeks older than Jacob in terms of age, so that's why he looks older!  They probably weigh the same, though.

Random Vidoes (to help me remember this time in my life)

This happened a couple of days ago. I told Jacob his feet were dirty, and then I caught him doing this about two minutes later! I wouldn't normally encourage this, but it was just so cute, and he was so
proud of himself! 
 
 
 
 

 
Not very exciting, I know...But I posted it so I could have proof that I've taught John how old his is. This movie was probably recorded over a month ago.

15 Months!

Some days I cannot believe that my little Johnny is already 15 months old...however, in the same breath, I can't believe he is ONLY fifteen months old!  I feel like he has aged WAY more than three months since he turned one.  He is a completely different person!  He has become more independent, he's starting to communicate, he walks everywhere, he figures out how to do new things every day, and he is starting to understand simple commands!  So, for those of you who get bored easily, this post is really just for me to remember.  I'll post some pictures once I find the camera cord! 

Here's a few of his likes and dislikes:

Food:  likes toast with butter, hotdogs, cheese, deli meat, any fruit we give him, crackers
           dislikes most cooked meat

Activities:  he loves to do anything outside; anything Jacob likes to do, he wants to do; he loves to play in the car, but he hates to get in his carseat; I think he loves nursery, but he screams for the first couple of minutes after I leave;  he is obsessed with balls.

Some of his accomplishments:

Words I can understand:  Momma, Daddy, ball (ba or baba), bottle (baba), juice (ju), bye (ba with a cute wave), Jacob (dayda), uh-oh, cheese (cheee)

Skills: walking everywhere, he does a funny lopsided run, too!; climbs into his own seat at the table; folds his hands when we pray or when I ask him to say Amen; points to items he wants; gives hugs and kisses; points to his nose when asked; sometimes points to eyes when asked; can answer what a dog says; sometimes will say what a cow says, but it sounds like "mmm", can point to his "ding-dong" (belly button); will pull up my shirt when I ask, "Where's the baby?" 

Sleeping:
His sleep patterns are constantly changing, but for the last three days (while my mother-in-law had Jacob I really worked on this new schedule) he has been only taking one nap (for about an hour and a half or a little longer) and sleeping at night from 8:00 until 7:30.  I LOVE it!  Of course, that could change pretty easily.  Before switching to one nap, he was sleeping at night from 9 until 5:45. 

Other random things I want to remember:  He has twelve teeth, but his bottom eye teeth are on their way (red spots where they should be coming in). 

Stats:
shoe size: size 5
Height: they measured 33.5 inches, but I think that's a bit too long...
Weight: about 27 pounds
clothes size: shirts are mostly 24 months or 2T, some 18 months.  Most of his pants are 18 months
