The Talking (not walking) Toddler

It has been a long time since I've done an update on Griff! He is learning and doing more and more every single day. In the last week his vocabulary has exploded! He jabbers all day, everyday! Here are the words that he's really good at:

hi (says this all day to everyone, including strangers, several times over and over)

bye-bye (while waving)

night-night

mama

dada

papa

ruka (sometimes just ka)

no no

go go! (loves to watch Go Deigo Go, mostly just the opening credits with the song)

tree

ball

juice

drink

ba-ba (meaning bottle)

cracker

eye (while poking either himself or us in the eye)

down (which means up and down to him)

bite

moo

meow

He will also repeat after me if I tell him to say:

cheese

please

thank you

choo choo

woof woof

Mary (our babysitter)

He is such a blast! He is so funny and keeps me busy all day long!

He goes up and down the stairs at light speed. He has also learned how to climb and is quite proud of himself. He throws the pillows on the floor and stands on them to get himself up there.

Here are a few more pictures of the boy in action.

So, no, he still isn't walking. He stands up on his own all the time but as soon as he realizes it, he sits right down. He actually took about 6 steps today, but again, plopped down when he looked around and noticed he wasn't holding on to anything. So, I think he'll probably be running circles around me by the end of the month!
At his 15 month check up he weighed 20.8 lbs (still in the 5th percentile) and is healthy as a horse!
