My handsome man - 15 months

You continue to change. I'm not sure I like it. They're all good changes, I guess I'm just scared. I don't want to you turn into a boy. I want you to stay my sweet little angel baby forever. I have to face it though, it's part of life. Here are some new things you've been doing:

• kissing like crazy
• snuggling - you never really have been a snuggler, but now you want me to hold you a lot. I don't mind at all. :)
• jumping - Your Aunt Tammy keeps saying that this is a motor skill that most babies and new walkers can't do and that sometimes preschoolers even have a hard time learning to jump! You jump all the time. You even stand at the last step on the stairs and without touching any walls, jump to the ground without falling. You climb on the ottoman and jump to the chair. You just keep working at it and you'll be dunking in no time. Hopefully this isn't a warning sign for the broken bones we'll face in the future!
• opening doors - I don't like this one.
  
• say UH OH, Oh no, all your animal sounds and sing your own little numbers quite often.
• play catch with Daddy - we're working on the catch part, but you've got a great arm!
• greeting guests at the door - You are always watching out the window when people come and leave the house. Sometimes, crying because you can't go with them.
• praying - You bow your head in such a reverent way.
  

We love you Lucas! You just keep learning and growing, even though I want you to stay like this forever!

hugs & kisses,
"mommy"
