The Williams Family: 15 month update

Caleb hit 15 months on October 8. Here are some of the things he is up to these days:

- 15 mo. appointment stats: Height: 33 inches (96%), Weight: 27lbs 14 oz (88%), Head: 51cm (120%!!)
- The walking quickly turned to running, and one of Caleb's favorite things to do right now is be chased. He loves stop to look back and see if you are coming to get him, and the more anticipation the better... Most of the chasing occurs in laps around the loop of our kitchen and living room
- He shocked Jimmy and I the other night when he pointed at the green beans I was making for dinner and said 'green bean' (or bean bean... not sure which because I didn't see his lips moving, but it totally sounded correct). I don't think I had even mentioned the name of what I was making, but apparently he remembered from previous meals. This was his first time using more than one word.
- Still LOVES bananas, blueberries, and raviolis (his little baby ones)
- Getting much better at using a spoon and actually getting the food in his mouth.
- In the past 3 weeks has started to be very interested in books. I'm so glad, because until then, he would never sit still long enough for me to show him any. Now he goes and finds books and brings them over for us to look at with him. His favorites are the colors book that has tons of things to look at on each page (he points, we say what things are), and the book on trucks.
- Has started to become more interested in TV. In the mornings he will walk up to it and point, asking me to turn it on so he can watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
- Will point to my belly when asked where mommy's baby is, and lifts bottom part of my shirts to try and look at it. Will also kiss my belly when I tell him to give baby kisses.
- As we come around the corner onto our street, Caleb points to the left hand side of our street at the end if I ask him where our house is
- Is getting interested in baseball and football as Jimmy watches games with him and explains the throwing and hitting parts. When he sees a game on he'll move his arm like a throwing motion and grunt to get our attention to see what he is doing.
