Fifteen months

My baby has turned into a toddler. It's true. He runs, jabbers with a few recognizable words, finally says "mama" as well as "dada," throws tantrums (that are still funny), looks at books (Hop on Pop is the current favorite), flies backwards down the stairs on his tummy, does and says things to make us and his siblings laugh, and just acts like a little tiny person with his own distinctive personality. He has become a pickier eater and refuses to eat meat. He loves his milk, though, and I mean really loves it. He also seems to have acquired some soccer skills at a very early age. We've been trying to capture them on video, but every time we got out the camera, he would stop. We finally succeeded, and you can see for yourself.

Isn't he funny? We love the little running kick he does. And since this video won't be a part of my blog book, I have to document the fact that he says "yes" very clearly. In fact, he has yet to say the word "no." He's the only one of our kids to say "yes" before "no." He's very good at showing his displeasure when things don't go his way, though, so I'm sure it won't be long before "no" is a part of his vocabulary.

Very impressive skills there Grant! He's just too adorable. And don't worry, the vegetarian diet can be quite satisfying, and nutritious. :-). Brayden said,"yes" before "no" too, may it continue for a long time. :-)

So cute! I love the little tongue as he talks, it looks the same as Aubrey doesn't it? Must be a #4 thing because Reagan didn't say no for a long time either. However she now screeches it out loudly with the best of them. Here is hoping you have months of him being a yes man.
