Xander 15 months OLD!

Well, my "baby" is 15 months old now! I can't believe it!!! He is growing up WAY to fast!

We had our Dr Appt and Dr. Burns said he was "incredibly smart!" I already knew that, but that he was developmentally about a two year old! She said the way he analyzes things and the way he understand what you are telling him are things a two year old does! :) I don't remember the exact numbers, but I know he is 50% for his weight (we FINALLY moved up from the 30%!!!) and 92% for height (yep, he's gonna be tall like his Daddy!).

Here are a few things about him:

Likes:

• Watching cartoon on his big sister's bed (because he can now CLIMB ON THERE, so there is NO stopping him now!)


• Cars or anything with wheels.


• Climbing on EVERYTHING. He already has a few battle wounds for those adventures.


• Chasing the dogs. Poor Toby just can't get his legs to work as fast as they need to to get away from Xander! LOL!!


• Pushing things. Whether it is the empty toy crate, a car, or his sister's grocery cart!!


• Running outside! Since the weather is beautiful down here, he can play outside a little more and loves to run around (which usually ends up with him chasing the dogs in the backyard!)


• ALL FOOD!!! He has FINALLY become a great eater!!! However, he does prefer Daddy to hold him while he eats! LOL!


• Patty-Cake! He LOVES when we do patty-cake!! He even does it himself!!!!
  BOOKS, he LOVES books!! Which I LOVE because he will actually SIT STILL for me to read a book to him!
  Baths- I think he might be part fish


• Giving Kisses! Which Mama LOVES to receive! :)


• Hugs- He will give you a hug and then pat you on the back!


• Pillows! He LOVES pillows!! He will pull a pillow off the couch just to put it on the ground and lay on it!


• K-State (OK maybe he doesn't' know he loves them yet, but he does say "Go Cats!")
  
  

Dislikes:

• Timeout. However, if I say timeout he will walk over to the timeout wall and sit down, but KEEPING him there is the problem! :) He does look awful cute sitting in timeout!


• When his sister isn't sharing. Xander may be two years younger than Breckyn, but he can pretty much let her know when he is NOT happy with her! LOL! Let the WWE matches begin!
  

Things we are working on:

• We will begin the FUN of Potty Training soon! I am NOT looking forward to this, and I am PRAYING that Ms. Patty at the daycare will work her magic on him like she did Breckyn!


• BIG BOY BED!!!!! We will be converting his crib into his Toddler bed soon as well!! Probably after the new year!


• Talking more. Xander completely understands what you are saying to him, but he will reply with doing what you are asking, or by looking at you and smiling! LOL!! :) He words right now are "Mama, Dada, Sissy, Papa, Fish, Lola, Tobe-Tobe (Toby the dog), Cats (as in GO CATS!), bottle" Dr. Burns said he was fine with the words, but it seems like Breckyn was a jabber box when she was his age! LOL! I have NO idea where she got that from either, must be the Steele side! ;)
