Every day brings at least one new word or skill for James. It is amazing to see how quickly he is grasping the English language.
He says a LOT of words now. Some that I think are unusual for a 15 month-old: gentle, glasses, bear, starfish and Elmo. My favorite words he says are: shoe (Mom says he sounds like a French baby), thank you (he does the "dee dou" thing a lot of babies do), I love you (what Mommy's heart doesn't melt when she hears those words?) and Jeremy (he says "meremy"). It's also pretty neat that he says "diaper" when he wants to be changed. This could make potty training a little easier!
Physically, he is much more stable on his feet and starting to climb things (yikes!). He also finally learned how to stand up without pulling up on something this month. He used to fall down in the back yard and stay in one place grunting and whining until someone would help him up.
James loves music and he knows one phrase from 5 different songs. I ask him to sing at least 10 times a day because it is so cute!
He also knows quite a few animal sounds. The unusual ones are: lizard, donkey and owl.
This summer he is staying home with daddy. Some of his favorite activities include throwing things down the basement stairs, going on bike rides, reading books, watching "baby" videos, going to the park, watching Sid the Science Kid, torturing the cats, playing in the backyard (pool or sprinkler) and stealing Daddy's glasses off his face!
I will leave you with a cellphone picture since Rod is rebuilding our other computer that has the real camera pics on it. Rod always sits on this step to put his shoes on. Whenever James wants to go outside he grabs his shoes and sits on this step.

With his lil buzz cut he looks sooo much older, and rotten. hehee.
Taking in all the things he is doing on a minute by minute basis is just wonderful.
I would love to know how a lizard sounds. hehee ;)
He is just too cute and too smart! I love his little personality!
Haha I thought he was trying to eat a shoe before I finished reading what that picture was all about :)
