Brock @ 15 months:

This handsome little boy is 15 months old today!! I can't believe that he is already so big!


A few thing about Brock at 15 months:

He is saying a lot more things! He says: Mommy(all. day. long.) Daddy, sissy, Elmo, Bob the Builder, more, mine, please, thank you, no-no baby, roar, kitty, puppy, a,b,d,e,g,i,l,m,o,p, r, ruff-ruff, eye, uhh-eh (no), uh oh, banana, apple, ball, he made up his own word for Popsicle that is really strange sounding. It sounds like a "g" sound but he says it down in his throat. He says "d" for drink and "b" for binky.

He points and grunts or does his pterodactyl screech at everything he wants and will not stop until he gets it. This drives me crazy! Sydney picked up sign language so fast, and used her signs for everything. She never really went through the annoying point and grunt stage, because she could just sign to us what she wanted. I really need to work harder on getting him to sign more instead of his point, grunt and screech.

He signs: please, thank you, more, dog, fish, eat, cat, and all done. He tries to sign a few other words but they all pretty much look the same right now.

He started singing the ABC's. It sounds mostly like he is repeating the letter "D" over and over but when he sings it, and I sing along he gets so excited!

He still loves all kinds of music and has started dancing around in circles when he hears it. He makes me laugh when he dances because he tucks his head into his shoulder and then makes these tight little circles until he falls over and then does all over again.

He loves to tease he sissy. He goes over to her and hits her, or pokes her in the eye. She usually screams in outrage and he runs away laughing. Then he goes over and does it again.

He has been hitting me too, and he thinks it is so funny. I have started to put him down if he hits me, so maybe he will get the clue that he should not hit.

He still loves to climb, and climbs everything.

He eats yogurt at least once a day. He LOVES it!

He loves the ABC's and loves to get on the computer and play Star Fall.

He loves to read books. He will sit on our laps and point to all the letters he knows. He doesn't even pay much attention to the pictures anymore. If it has letters on it that is all he cares about. He has learned his ABC's faster than Sydney did. Sydney was at least 18 month old when she finally learned her ABC's. Really this little boy is obsessed!

He loves animals and is really pretty gentle when he sees them, and loves to pet them. He knows that dogs say "ruff-ruff", kitties "Meow", and Lions and bears "roar". All the other animals just "roar". He brought me a horse the other day and was insistent the the horse "roared".

He love balls and can throw them really far

He loves water and can get completely soaked in less than 2 seconds.

He has started to love babies too and always wants to come and look at them when he sees them. He loves to point out their eyes and nose.

He loves his binky and blanket. I think that I am going to start letting him have his binky only when he is in his crib. I am worried that it will slow down his language skills because he has started to just grunt instead of talk when he has his binky in.

I guess the biggest mile stone that happened is that Brock is not longer nursing. It has been about a week and a half sense he nursed last. I had been slowly weaning him from nursing, but he got sick about a week ago and refused to nurse. He also started refusing his sippy cup. We were desperate to get liquids inside of him so we broke our no Popsicle rule and got him some. He now begs and pleads for Popsicles all day long. He will take me to the fridge and cry and through a tantrum until he gets one. We gave in because he would not drink anything else. After about a week of this I was way tired of it so I went out and got him new sippy cups and he is now drinking out of a cup again.


I love the huge smile on his face while he eats his popcicle in this picture but I hate that he has a pink bib on. Most of my bibs are boy bibs but for some reason he got a pink bib this time. Oh well he is pretty secure in his manhood so no problem.

We love you Brocky-boy! Stop growing!
