15 Month Stats
Weight: 21.2 pounds (21%)
Length: 30.88 inches (26%)
Palmer is at such a fun and busy stage! He is truly a toddler and loves to explore everything. He loves to climb, but often climbs on something but has no idea how to get down.
Another activity Palmer really enjoys right now is taking objects in and out of a container or bag. He also loves to play outside and has no fear climbing up the stairs on the swing set. He is a little bit naughty with crayons and will color on any surface. This is just so funny to me because Beau would have never dared color on anything other than paper. He's been allowed to independently use crayons and markers for a very long time. I love how different their personalities are.
We've been taking a lot of walks (when it's not too hot) and Palmer loves riding in the stroller.
His favorite finger play game is Itsy Bitsy Spider and he tries to mimic the motions. His favorite book is My Friends by Tara Gomi. His favorite toy is anything that Beau has! Little brother likes to copy everything that Beau does.
Just this month, Palmer dropped his bottle and is only using his sippy cup. We did a lot of traveling this summer, so we were in no hurry to totally get rid of the bottle until we were back and home and on somewhat of a normal routine. He always wants sippy cup of milk immediately when he walked up, just like his big brother. He also has started climbing onto the side of his high chair when he is hungry or he will find his snack cup and bring it to me. Speaking of snack cups, the munchkin one is the best one we've found.
In the last two weeks or so, Palmer has started using a plate and fork more consistently. Prior to this, he would immediately dump the food off his plate or swipe the plate completely off the high chair. I guess he is maturing a little. He does have a bad habit of playing a game where he says "all done" and tries to hand you his plate. But if you actually take the plate, he wants it back and isn't actually finished eating.
As far as foods go, Palmer will pretty much eat anything. I still cut his grapes in half or in fourths, although I'm not sure that this is totally necessary. He loves pasta, peanut butter sandwiches, bananas, grilled barbecue chicken, beans, mac and cheese, pizza, chicken nuggets, blueberries, pineapple, scrambled eggs, etc.
Palmer is quite expressive (aka loud) and Raleigh says we should really start working on inside voices. His words at 15 months are uh oh, mil (milk), all done, wawa (water), mama, dada, diaper (although it mostly sounds like dada) and dis (this).
He is mostly wearing size 12-18 month shorts and 18-24 month tops. Although some things he wears are straight 12 months and others are 24 months. Since he wears a lot of hand me downs, the sizing is a little more all over the place.
Palmer is still taking two naps a day, which I know won't last forever. It is definitely a blessing for now because Beau and I use the morning nap time to do "school." He usually naps at 9:00 and 1:00, or some variation of that. Both boys go to bed at 7:00 and that schedule seems to be working well for us.
Palmer's lovie is his sleep sack. He still sleeps in his sleep sack for naps and bedtime and he loves carrying it around during the day.
Just for fun, here's a link to Beau's 15 month update!
Palmer, you are full of life and bring so much joy to our lives! You are a blessing to us and we love you very much!
Here are a few pictures from today!
brotherly love!
