15 Months Old! (Okay Almost 16 Months Old!)

Caden had his 15 month check up at the doctor last week.  He is 24 lb 15 oz (55%), 33 inches (90%), and his head is 19.75 inches (95%).  He is getting so tall, and he has learned so many things in the past few months.  It seems like he is learning new things every day now.  He finally started clapping, and he loves to have people clap for him!  He went from walking to running pretty much everywhere that he goes.  It is so cute to see those little legs going as fast as they can. (Which is pretty fast by the way.  Especially when he has something that he knows he shouldn't have!)  He has learned to point to his head, his ears, his mouth, and his belly button.  He also knows where mine and Matt's belly buttons are.  He tries to lift our shirts if we ask him.  It is so funny.  He also knows what the duck says and what the cow says.  Caden has also learned to say baby and nana (for banana).  He is on a banana kick right now, and they are one of the few things that he likes to eat.  He also likes yogurt and eggs.  Everything else pretty much depends on his mood.  He's not the greatest eater, so it takes a lot of patience and a lot of distraction to get him to eat.  He has seven teeth now.  Four on the top and three on the bottom.  Hopefully he will eat better as he gets more teeth.  Sometimes it is hard for him to chew things.  Caden understands more things everyday and he can follow simple directions like Where's your drink?, Get the ball, Close the door, Where's Elmo?, and Let's go.  I read to him pretty much everyday, but he only pays attention for the first page.  Hopefully he will grow to enjoy reading,  He loves songs, and he loves it when we sing the songs that we have learned at babytime.  He can also do the chicken dance if you ask him.  It is so adorable!  Caden is getting so big, and is so much fun!
