15 months and on...

The LMM is reaching the 15 month milestone tomorrow.  It's been an incredible journey thus far.  Today, he showed us that he could dunk a ball into his basketball rim. He did it with such smugness, it was so funny.  Its the same yesterday when he was playing Adelle's (a good friend's daughter) toy piano.  He played a couple of notes, then paused for applause before he played more.  I think he is really enjoying the attention he is getting from performing these tasks.  More than before, he is really saying,"Hey Mum, Hey Dad, watch me!!! I can do this! And this!"

We hope to be able to teach him to say "Thank You" and "Please" next.  He's been asking for things by putting his thumb and second finger together, pointing to the object of desire and then whining.

We notice that the LMM whines (and cries) a lot.  He whines when he does not get what he wants.  He whines when no one's paying attention to him.  Hopefully, when he is able to communicate a bit more, the whining will go away.

I can see his seventh tooth coming out (bottom left).  Think the itch's getting to him. He'll grab my finger at any opportunity and stuff it into his mouth and YES, he bites it really hard.
