15 months


Halloween:
Kam was the man with the yellow hat and Max was curious George although George did not want to wear his hat.  Kam loved trick or treating and we practiced it for weeks.   Max crashed early after the part.

Thanksgiving:
Grandma kathy visited and as I was on my way home from picking her up at the airport both kids got the stomach flu.     This was Max's stomach flu, and Kam's 2nd.  Mom was here the first and only other time Kam got the stomach flu! ha.    Anyway max threw up first and then shortly after Kam threw up and said "look daddy, I threw up like Maxi"  haha.  The boys recovered within 24 hours but unfortunately Grandma Kathy woke up with it Thanksgiving morning!    It pretty much wiped out the whole house for the whole visit.  


Max is 15 months.

He weights 26 lbs

wild in the bath he love water poured over his head.  will lay back and put his head down and roll over in the water, blow bubbles.

all his teeth have finally popped through

tries to say turtle, train, truck cracker, daddy, dog, car, ball, 'toots', signs please, more, all done.   he will NOT say mama, mommy, or mom he will try to say everything else like 'joker, darth vadar, ben' just not momma.  he's torturing my heart!  walks up the stairs by himself.   can climb up on the couch.  throws fits and jumps up and down or throws himself on the ground.  yells REALLY loud.

love his cat puppet.

no fear will 'walk off' the couch.  he pretends to count "un, uh, ehh" then jumps.  also tries to say his "abc's" when he washes his hands.  Can ride Kam's scooter.  helps himself to food in the cupboard.  follows directions like 'get a diaper, time to take a bath, time to go to bed
