15 months.

so our little monkey turned 15 months old today. it seems like every time i turn around, hes learning something new.

heres the update:

-he looooooves to play outside. he can't get enough of the grass and the trees and leaves and the flowers. (hes so much like his daddy already.) and he never wants to go back inside. (insert lots of mad owen screams.)

-as soon as he gets in the backyard, he'll go running straight for the big tree, saying the word "tree" over and over again. (and he also thinks the posts on our fence are a tree.)

-you have to be very careful when saying the word "outside," because he knows exactly what it means. and if you are not ready to go right then, he won't hesitate to let you know how he feels about it.

-he absolutely loves the swing and the slide. i have never seen such big smiles. (we'll be hanging a swing from the tree in our backyard this week. then he'll be able to swing every single day.)

-he can climb all the way up the stairs. and would do it all day long if i would let him. he always looks so proud when he makes it to the top.

-if he hears the dishwasher open, he'll come running as fast as little feet will carry him. he loooooves to play *in* the dishwasher. 

-he has found the on and off buttons on the tv and dvd player. and it has become quite the entertainment for him. 

-every now and then, he'll grab his blanket and climb up onto his owen chair to take a little break. (hes getting to be such a big boy.) 

-if you ask him if he wants some yogurt, he'll happily run straight for the refrigerator. (that boy loves him some yogurt.)

-hes been getting a little rough with hudson lately...hes always trying to pull on his tail and his ears and his little doggie paws. its all in good fun, though. (i'm just not so sure hudson understands that.)

-hes still not a big fan of getting his diaper changed. and if he sees you coming with wipes or a diaper, he'll quickly take off in the opposite direction. and sometimes he'll even pretend he is too busy doing something. (which is tooooo funny.)

-he loves to play in the bathroom. and especially loves to try to flush the toilet. (uugh...gross.)

-if you ask him if he wants to take a bath, he'll drop whatever hes doing and make a mad dash to the tub.

-his new word that he loves to say is "dog." if he sees or hears a dog barking, he'll start saying the word over and over again. 

-and if you ask him what sound a doggie makes, he'll make his own little barking noise.
