13, 14, 15 Month Update

So I have been so bad at blogging lately and realized that almost three months have gone by without an update on Reid.  He is changing so much that I really need to stay on top of things to document everything that he is doing.  The past few months have gone by so fast and we have done so much that it’s hard to remember everything.  I can’t believe that he will be 15 months in about a week and a half.  Here are some of the things that he as been doing.

• He is getting so good with his walking and even though he isn’t quite there he can make it across the room without any trouble.  He just looks like a little drunken baby when he does walk so it should be in the next few weeks that he really gets it down. He loves to walk and takes every opportunity to practice.  It takes us about 200 times longer to do everything because he has to hold your hand and walk to wherever we go until he is huffing and puffing and pink cheeked and then he will let me pick him up.
• He is getting more and more independent everyday. He had to always have an eye on me and most of the time he had to be physically touching me in whatever I was doing.  He now goes throughout our house and does what he wants without needing me there by his side which is really nice cause I now get a lot more stuff done.
• He is still an amazing sleeper and sleeps 12 to 13 hours at night and is still taking two 2 hour naps which I love and hopefully he will stay on that schedule until he goes to college!
• He is talking more and more and is doing so good on his signing.  He can say please, more, all done, and dog in sign language and can put two signs together like “more, please”.  He can of course say mama and dada, but now he can kind of say shoes, this, done, and a few others that I can’t think of now.
• He LOVES to eat! I swear I spend all day in the kitchen getting him snacks and then meals.  If he is awake he is usually eating something.
• He is obsessed with motorcycles and bicycles.  If there is a picture of one he will want to stare at it forever and Wes and him love to watch motorcycle videos on the internet.  He loves to go on rides with Dad and Grandma just bought him is own bike that he loves and is hard to get him off of it.  Wes is already trying to talk me into letting him get his own dirt bike.  Oh, dear!
• He also loves cars and with play with his cars all over the house making the car noises. So cute!

All in all he is doing great and such a happy little boy. We go in for his 15 month check up in a few weeks and I’ll post how big he is getting.
