Geddy's 15 month milestones

Geddy loves to climb and run. At daycare, he runs down the ramp, and tries to climb on to everything. At home, he climbs on to the lego table and sofa. He tries going down stairs like an adult, which does not work very well.

He says mama, dada, mum mum, nana, ba. He signs dad, grandpa, hat, cat, banana, eat, milk, dog, and potty. He imitates many other signs poorly, like horse, cereal, brush teeth, and grandma.

He loves drinking from a cup, but always makes a mess. He's been using a spoon for a while, with pre-loaded food, but likes practicing scooping out of a bowl now. He has the very annoying habit of throwing food once he's done.

His favorite food is bananas. The runners up are baby cereal with fruit or veg puree mixed in, macaroni and cheese, and sausage. He also likes cantaloupe and honeydew melon.

He started full time daycare this month, and is really blossoming. Before, he would always cry when I left, but now he'll wave bye to me happily (most of the time). He's becoming more vocal at school, and enjoys exploring the whole playground by himself.

He pooped and peed in the potty once. He'll sit on the potty with a DVD on, but not otherwise.

His reflection

Geddy has great awareness of his own reflection now. He loves seeing himself with hats on, and last night, he was so pleased with his new cars jammies. He is also actively signing now, and does eat and milk quite frequently, along with cat, hat, banana, dad, grandpa, and drum.
