Reid All About It: 15 month update and the children's museum!

Reid is now 15 months old! That's 1 and 1/4 years! :)

Chris was off yesterday and today, so we decided to take Reid to the children's museum! I remember going to the children's museum when I was a little girl, so I was really excited to take Reid! It was really crowded, but so fun!! We will definitely go back!

Some things about Reid at 15 months...

*He has been completely bottle free since about 13 months. He was really only having one at night anyway and the rest of the day he was using cups. I figured it would be pretty easy to get rid of it and it was! We just kept the rest of his bedtime routine the same and he didn't even seem to notice the bottle was gone.

*Pacifiers are a completely different story. :) Reid LOVES pacifiers. He almost always has one in his mouth and is usually carrying one in his hand also. I'm in no hurry to get rid of them. My goal is to not send him to kindergarten with one! ;)

*He is a wonderful sleeper! As of this week he is a one nap kid! He takes about a two hour nap starting at 12 or 12:30. He goes to be around 8 and wakes up around 8, give or take 30 minutes.

*He loves eating and isn't very picky. He will eat most things. Very thankful for that! The main things he will not eat no matter how many times we try are green beans and watermelon. I love green beans and watermelon so I don't get it! :)

*He hasn't said any words other than mama and dada, but he has definitely been "talking" so much more in the last couple of weeks. He just talks and talks all day long in his own little language. He is consistently using the "more" sign and usually does the "all done" sign. He usually just claps twice for "more" or when he wants something, but we know what he means. He has started doing this one syllable squeak all the time. When he is playing with something and can't figure it out or when he wants something, he will just squeak like a little mouse!

*He has started running! He loves for Annabelle to chase him. He knows that if he picks up her rabbit and duck toy that she will start to chase him. He runs and runs and laughs and laughs! He sometimes runs and hides behind me when she's chasing him!

*He loves being tickled!

*He is obsessed with hiding things. He has started hiding something and then holding his hands up like he's saying, "Where is it?"

*He often just walks around the house and holds one hand up to the sky and looks up. It's so interesting! I wonder what he's thinking about!
*He is having some separation anxiety. Luckily he is completely fine going with his grandparents! :)
*He is still loving animals! He loves to point at them in books and wants me to say what they are. He loves carrying his animal puzzle pieces around. I need to get this poor baby some real animal toys instead of just puzzles!

My precious baby is changing into a toddler right before my eyes! I hope I never forget the way he looks when he smiles with his pacifier in (and that dimple!), the way he toddles around with his hands out to the side, the way his cheeks jiggle as he's walking, his sweet "voice" before he starts using words, the way his baby feet look when he crosses them in his high chair or his car seat, the way he loves to make me laugh by grabbing my face when I'm rocking him at night and his little shoulders! So random, but I am obsessed with squeezing his shoulders! :) I remember seeing Nicole Kidman on Oprah in my doctor's waiting room when I was pregnant. She was talking about how she was obsessed with her daughter's shoulders and I thought it was such a weird thing to be obsessed with! I totally get it now! I'm obsessed with his shoulders! :)

These are a couple of pictures from earlier this week that I love...
