15 Months

Xavier is now fifteen months old. I am constantly pulling him down from things...and whenever he is out of my sight he is getting into trouble. I once found him sitting in his high chair (he had somehow climbed in on his own) , and he has unfortunately discovered how to climb to the top of the bunk bed.




First Haircut


At the doctor he weighed in at 20 lbs 7 oz, and 30 5/8 for his height. He is in the 20-30th percentile for height, and the bottom of the curve for his weight. I think that he will just be a small guy. His size doesn't stop him from tackling his older brother from behind. All day he wrestles with Isaiah, and so far it has been one of my greatest joys seeing them play together.
He is very advanced in his speech. Although he doesn't say mommy yet, he can say all these words pretty good:
Bird
Drink
Get Down (he hear's this one alot)
Ball
Duck
No
Yeah
Please
Daddy
Cheese
Hot
Teeth
Bath
Bye
Back
Hi
Thank You
Night Night
Yellow
Boo
Isaiah's speech was delayed, and it was hard seeing all of the other kids his age speaking more than he was. I had to learn that every kid develops at their own pace. When Isaiah was potty trained at 2, it was like a redemption for me (hate to admit that). So I am very grateful that Xavier is advanced vocally...but I hope that doesn't mean he'll still be in diapers when he is 4! (no offense if your kid is still in diapers..I'm just saying).

Wow, he is advanced verbally. I can't believe he can say all those things. Brooke says about 4 words and all she climbs is our stairs. It will be funny to see them interact when we're there in March.
