Today Michael turned 15 months!
But I get told by most people that he
either acts 2 or they thought he was 2!
Michael spoke his first sentence 3 days before his 15 month!
"It's a good idea!"
He's trying to feed himself with utensils.
He squats when he goes stinky
He holds out for Mommy's hand to help
him walk down steps
(He refuses to crawl up and down)
He climbs EVERYTHING
He grabs Mommy's hand and places
the object he wants in it or the
object he wants me to have
He nods his head when I do
something he wants
He grunts when moving objects
He makes a specific noise when he
"Wants more" of something
When he sees Mommy's or daddy's
phone lying around, he'll bring it to us

Michael is a pro at walking and climbing things! (He took his first step at 10 1/2 months!) He has certainly gained a few bruises due to trial-and-error from getting up and off a chair. He is attached to Mommy's hip, he loves the outdoors, and he loves other kids! He is SUPER social, very sweet, and (I'm very proud to say) plays very nicely with others. He's learning new things constantly and is so full of love, energy, laughter, and goofiness! He can put a smile on any body's face! Recently he's become a Brand Rep and Baby Model for a couple different (young) brands and we're loving it! He's definitely very photogenic and most people love his pictures!
So, in case you saw my IG pic on what a crazy day we had, here's what we did in "celebration" of his 15 months:
This morning seemed to go smoothly, until Michael took a stinky that filled up his diaper and ran down his leg. He HATES baths, but that's what we had to give him!
He's currently teething: his back molars are coming in; they've already cut through. I'm guessing this is what is causing him to be a little runny, he doesn't have a fever and he acts normal otherwise. However, we have to give him a prescribed cream for a rash he's getting due to the runs. :( poor baby...
After getting him cleaned up and changed, we snuggled and he fell asleep for his afternoon nap. Not even ten minutes after he woke up, one of our dogs, Gizzy, became ridiculously crazy when the mail lady arrived. She began running all over the place. Michael was on all fours at the time and is the same height as Gizzy where he was at... Well, she face planted him and tore his attachment! (The thin attachment between his top lip and gums.) I took him into the ER because I had no idea how bad it really was. Luckily, it will heal on it's own in a few days.
Once we realized he'd be ok, we decided to get back to our original plans for the day... Finish with the wedding plans...
We picked up my Mamaw and met my aunt out at the park we will have our Vow Renewal Ceremony and Reception. It's absolutely gorgeous, and we got there right at the time a wedding had ended so it was perfect for them to get an idea of what exactly I had going on in my head.
We only have to finish with dress alterations (I waited until last minute because I didn't know how fast I would show with this second pregnancy), get the food and figure out what speakers well use for music.
So, for Michael turning 15 months, it sure was a FULL day of surprises and last minute planning.
I'm so in love with my little man and wish he didn't have to suffer so much today. But I'm sure it's all just apart of growing up and I'm so excited to be his momma and continue to grow with him!
