15 months old today!

I am 15 months old today, August 27, 2009! Of course, don't tell me that - I think I am 3!!! Mommy & Daddy and I just got back from a week on the East Coast attending a wedding and visiting family. I got to hang out with all of my (older cousins) who are rough and tumble boys. So, I think I am just as big as them and when I got back to Los Angeles I had a tough time adjusting to the infant/toddler rooms at church and daycare. I don't understand that not all kids throw balls, wrestle and express their love for one another with bear hugs. As a result, I was told not to climb on the bookshelves to get the toys I wanted in the nursery at church...in fact the child care workers had to be reminded that some kids need one-on-one supervision and they needed to get back in the game for the fall ( I mean, really - leaving out the scissors in a place where I could grab them?!).

At daycare, I tried to hug and squeeze everyone and got a bite from another child for my efforts. I even sat on one of the babies - or so they told mommy. I didn't know babies don't have laps! Everyone is all the same to me!

I have since mellowed out (a little bit - probably just until Christmas) though, but mommy still likes to tell the story of (back in July) the time she found me on top of the piano. No, not on the stool - on the top! I had used a variety of items as "stairs" and happily climbed to the top where she found me merrily pulling all of the tissues out of the tissue box). None of these antics are malicious of course. I'm just exploring my surroundings and testing the boundaries.

I've also got a couple of new teeth! On July 22nd I got a bad fever which later Mommy reasoned was because one of my bottom molars was coming in. On August 17th (while we were away) Mommy and Daddy took me to urgent care for a fever and a sore in my mouth. The doctor thinks the fever was perhaps the beginning of an ear infection. Which it may have been, but over the next few days Mommy noticed I had another bottom molar coming in on the other side. So, that may have also contributed. And the sore in my mouth? A fun case of thrush!! Yay! and while we are on vacation, too - that was great...it hurt to eat and drink for a while and I was a little bit miserable, but it got better.

Mommy has to make sure she gets all of this stuff in the blog since it is acting as my baby book right now, until she has time to transfer all of the details. So - once again, she is playing catch-up...will there ever be enough hours in the day?

Here are some pics from our family day at the beach the weekend before we went away. Mommy & Daddy wanted to get some time in with the Brown trio since we weren't taking an official vacation with just the 3 of us... so off to the beach and pier we went!
