15 months old!

I just don't know where the time has gone. It seems like yesterday Lee made his entrance into this world, three weeks earlier than we expected him to. It's been a rocky 15 months, though. As much as I love this sweet little boy, he's definitely not been an "easy" baby. Much of that has been due to illness, a lot has been due to his hit-or-miss and short nap-taking (although he's a champ at night), and some has been due to a stubborn streak and temper. However, at 15 months, Lee is a smiley, vocal, curious, giggly little boy. His favorite word (and food) is "cracker" ("ack-ah"). He also says "outside" ("at-sigh"), ball (high pitched "baaaaaaaa"), "moo" ("mmmmmmm"), and "choo-choo" ("too-too"). His latest has been "tickle tickle" ("ticka-ticka-ticka") where he simultaneously tickles himself or someone nearby. His very favorite thing in the world is his blankie, which he often carries around in his mouth like a puppy dog. His favorite person in the world is his sister, who can make him laugh and smile like nobody else can. We so look forward to seeing what he learns next and what he'll delight us with!
