15 months!

Guess who is 15 months old?!?!  :)

Grayson continues to amaze us every day with how smart he is.  He picks up on things so easily and surprises us all the time with new words, new signs, or new things he seems to understand. 
Some highlights from the past month:

• Grayson says so many words now!  I am sure I can't remember them all, but here is what I can remember: thank you, bye-bye, baby, doggie, cat, mama, dada, uh-oh, hello, love you, diaper, foo-foo; and he will repeat pretty much anything you ask him to.
• He follows 2-step and sometimes 3-step directions.
• When he is tired, he will usually sign "more" and then point upstairs.  If he doesn't independently tell us, all we have to do is say, "Grayson, are you ready to go night-night?" and he will go right to the stairs.  The same for changing his diaper.  We just have to tell him it's time to change his diaper, and he says "diaper" while he's walking to the stairs. 
• He has such a sense of humor!  He does things that he knows he is not supposed to do and then laughs and laughs.  Also, he thinks it's funny to tease us while we are changing his diaper--he will move his legs off to the side at the last minute and then laugh. 
• He now recognizes the way to get to places.  He often points in the direction we are supposed to go, especially if we turn down a new road.  When we drive out to look at our new house, he knows where we are going--as soon as we round the corner, he points and yells!
• He loves going to school! 
• He weighs 27lbs, wears 18-24 month clothes, and size 6 shoes.  He is certainly the same size, if not bigger, as the 2 year olds in his class!  
• Grayson loves to cudddle with his mama.  He especially loves to cuddle while watching "Wheel of Fortune" every night.  Yes, that's right.  WOF is his favorite show.  Whenever he hears it come on, he runs over to sit in the chair with me, claps his hands, and smiles the biggest smile.  So cute!
• He loves to play outside.  I think he would spend every minute of the day outside if he could!
• He loves to dance!  He espcially loves to dance to ACDC's "Back in Black" (which is the ringtone on Daddy's phone).  No matter what he is doing (even if he is crying), he will stop and start dancing the minute he hears that song.
• We are starting to work on Grayson eating with a fork.  Sometimes he does it by himself, other times he doesn't.  I have a feeling he will be a pro at eating completely independently very soon!

I am constantly amazed at the little boy that Grayson has grown into.   He wants to be so independent and gets frustrated if we try to do things for him.  With each day, I can see more and more what a wonderful big brother he is going to be! 

We love you so much, Little Man!!!!
