I've been pretty good at keeping this updated and even managed to do his monthly birthdays when we've gotten very busy. We're over a month on this posting though and I have obviously missed his 15 month birthday! I'll try and re-cap although things move so quickly...I went back to see where he was at 14 months and I thought to myself, "Airplanes and helicopters? Surely he has been doing that more than a month and a half! It is so much a part of who he is...a month and a half?!?!"
Ok, so at 15 months we have mastered climbing up stairs although he still asks for help going down stairs. He practices letters quietly to himself (ssss, ffff, and last night, pppp). He has started to put his head down on people to show them he loves them (I love this, there is nothing so endearing as him walking over, putting his head on you with a smile, and then going about his merry way). He has become quite adept at figuring out how things work (i.e. buttons and such) and having the strength to make those work. The other day he picked up a brick with one hand! And not sure if this belongs here or at 16 months, but at about 15.5 he figured out walking backwards, which he finds funny. Gideon has also started saying "How you doin?" and "Whoa" to him which he finds HILARIOUS. That's showing our age, right? Nothing like referencing 90's sitcoms to make your baby laugh!
He's also turning into quite the dancer. He started awhile ago with the baby bounce and added one foot stomping this summer. Lately, he has added turns and a fast foot thing a la Flashdance. He likes it when we dance with him.
And that's what Joaquin has been up to! Gid has become quite the biker and I have started a very intense semester of classwork, work, and the beginning of my dissertation!
