Rhett: 15 Months

Rhett went in for his check-up after the holidays and so I can finally blog his 15 month post since I have his stats. This little one is so much fun. Phil said that if we could guarantee another Rhett then we could have five more children. Ha! I am not sure about that but it is a testament to how much we love him. Especially if Phil is the one suggesting more babies at this stage in our crazy parenting career.

Rhett's 15 Month Stats:
Weight: 21 pounds, 6th%
Height: 32 inches, 72%
Size 12 months, size 4 shoe, size 4 diaper.



Rhett is smart and funny. He knows how to hold his own with Max and Kate and is mastering the fine art of teasing his siblings. I can definitely see the benefit of having older children around in regards to his social and verbal development. He is talking so much and mimics everything and everyone. Even pitch and tone, as in, if Kate is shrieking, Rhett will join in perfectly. His talking is what we can understand since we are around him all day but his words are definitely present. His latest thing is to walk around hollering "mama! mama!" until I answer him.



He is helpful and understands direction. He is so enamored with his blankie. When it is missing I carry him around the house and ask "where's your blankie?", he responds with one hand raised questioningly in the air, "where is it?". And when we find it his face lights up and he exclaims "there it is!". It never gets old.



He loves to be outside! Loves it. He cries and gets upset when it is time to come in. He knows that shoes mean we are going somewhere and he is always willing to sit in your lap so you can lace him up.



Rhett sleeps well; 11 hours at night and still takes 2 naps. He self feeds and will refuse food if he cannot do it himself. Don't even think about spoon feeding him, thankyouverymuch!
His favorite thing to do at the park is swing and go down the slide.
When we take self-portraits with my phone his tongue usually comes out.
He has crazy hair that grows straight down his forehead, and since I have trimmed the back I am afraid that the curls are gone. :(
He gets jealous when I hold other babies. He knows his status and is very happy being the baby.
If you sit down at the computer he pretty much demands to be in your lap so you can do "letters" with him, aka Starfall.com.
He sings and it is the sweetest, cutest thing.

Good grief, we just love this boy!
