Activities at 15 Months

Eli's 15 months old now! 25% of the way through his second year already. At his checkup earlier this week, our RN Wendy reported that Eli is still around the 90th percentile in height, and around 25th in weight (around 23.5 pounds).

Eli's walking all the time now -- no more crawling!

Eli's fascination with the refrigerator continues. In addition to rushing over to look inside whenever it gets opened, he found that it makes a nice bench!

Eli's climbing adventures continue. He likes to climb up onto the top of the couch and check out what's going on out in the back yard. We need to keep a close eye on the little man, since we can't really fence off all of our furniture...

Our little guy is also breaking lots of records on Daddy's gameboy. He's seen here sinking yet another eagle putt to finish up a round of 18 holes in Mario Golf with a score of -33.

(Some slight exaggeration might be going on with that last item -- Eli doesn't actually get to play with the gameboy when the power is on. But he does love to just push the buttons, and he already knows how to hold it correctly!)

Welcome to the no more crawling phase of life Eli!. Next time we see each other you and Allison might just be chancing each other around. Allison also likes to play on the couch, but she hasn't yet figured out how to climb onto the back like her brother Nicholas, but we don't have anything for her to hold onto either.

Hopefully, your interest in technology at such a young age will take you places in the future like it did with your Dad.

Way to go Eli! It's just amazing how much he has grown and developed and all the wonderful skills he has learned in only 15 months!
