Hello to my amazing boy!
So today you are 15 months and 6 days old, and it's been another big month of new things for you! The number one main thing has been that you are finally walking EVERYWHERE! And, you LOVE it! Even though you had taken a few steps now and then since the end of May, you officially walked your first four or five steps without assistance on June 30th when Maw-Maw was actually up here spending some time with us! She was able to see you take those steps, and within a week you all of a sudden started going everywhere! It was so funny when you realized one day that you COULD do it and you WERE going to do it, because I was just sitting in my chair doing something when all of a sudden you stood up by yourself in the middle of our living room and with a big smile on your face, you began walking around in circles moving to the music that was playing! It was SO cute! Anyway, you are definitely really good at it now and it has made most of my life much easier, especially around the house, because you keep yourself quite entertained now, although you do still get into some things that are a 'no-no'. Hanging out outside like at Daddy's softball games, though, is a whole different story because you wear Mommy out as I follow you all over the place! Thank goodness for Maw-Maw and your cousin, Vienna, because they help a lot during the games so Mommy doesn't have to run after you all over! :o)
You are still learning more and more words, also, which is fun to see! You have "shoes" down really well, and almost every time you see or pick up your shoes you will say the word! You also love going after almost anything we ask you to get! It's amazing how you know almost everything we tell you now! You also say "read" a whole lot more now, which is fun! Especially when you get into your car seat and say "read" because you want your book to look at!
Oh! yes! You are also working on your catching abilities when is fun! You can catch your soft soccer ball pretty well for the most part, and we are still working on some of your other balls, too. You love playing with Daddy as he throws the ball to you and you throw it back, again and again!
We went swimming this month again with some of your little friends, and now that you are walking you love swimming even more because you can walk all over the shallow area of the pool, although it scares Mommy to death! I think it's about life jacket time for you! And maybe swim lessons at least next summer so I don't have to be as scared for you!
We bought you a swing for the backyard a few weeks ago, which you love a lot!! You would be happy to stay in there for forever, but between the hot days and all the bugs at night outside, you haven't been able to swing too much yet. :o( Once fall hits, though, and after baby sister comes, we'll definitely have to spend some quality Mommy / Son time outside for you to swing!
I love you so much, Daniel, and I'm very, very proud of everything you've learned this month! I'm also thankful that you really enjoy giving Mommy hugs! :o)
Love,
Mommy
