15 months

Nothing too exciting going on these days. Still unpacking and trying to find our schedule what with the time zone change and now Daylight Savings Time. I think he's also trying to transition from two naps to one, which doesn't help in the predictibility. [sad face] Making it to the pediatrician for a 15-month check-up is on the list, once we pick a doctor. He definitely seems heavier and taller every week!

"Helping" with the unpacking

He occasionally sits on his ride-on toys and scoots backwards. This is progress, since his original and preferred method is to push them backwards or alongside until he crashes into something (and sometimes topples over himself).

Here's a short clip of him playing on the entry stairs. I spared you the footage of him making speeches and goofing around up there, but this will give you an idea of his confidence in his motion these days.

He's definitely running from room to room now. And he's very into repetitive actions: on/off/on/off, up/down/up/down, take/give/take/give, etc. Hopefully, this is just a normal phase, but I haven't unpacked my "what to expect" books from the move yet for reassurance. :)

As you could tell from the end of the video, he's also much more aware of being filmed. He likes to look through the pictures I take on the camera, so here's a Mom/Son shot I took during one of those lessons. He has not learned how to smile for the camera yet, though!

Random strangers often compliment his eyes. I think this picture is evidence of why. That and he does like to stare. Ha!
