CRUZ is 15 months!

The last year and a half have really flown by!

I can't believe out little guy turned 15 months old this week.

He is at such a fun stage right now - 

I'm just loving everything about this little dude!

Here's a few things our little pumpkin eater is up to:

* WALKING! He started taking a few steps here and there a couple weeks ago,

but now he is walking across the living room floor like it's nothing.

*TALKING! Cruz has a couple of words in his repetoire.

Mommy, dadda, Hi, Bye, Nana (Banana), Night-night, Gompa (Grandpa), and he has said Paisley, Jesus, and Fishy a few different times.

I'm convinced there's nothing cuter than this little guy's voice.

He always has a big "HI" for anyone who walks into the room.

And without fail - anytime this kid lays down in his crib he looks up at you and says, "Night - night."  Be still my heart, it's the cutest thing ever.

*Climbing - the fun has begun!

He continues to be a pretty easy going little guy, but definitely has learned he has got to let his voice scream be heard if he wants some attention.

He adores his big sister - and tries to play with/do everything she is doing.

His favorite toy is Grandma's yellow chicken that sings and dances to "The Chicken Dance." 

He immedietely stops whatever he is going and starts dancing along. 

Cruz is becoming quite the singer.

He will sing when he hears other people singing, but his absolute favorite is "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam."

He will raise his arms and murmur "sunbeam" whenever he hears it!

He is still taking two naps a day, but will occasionally survive and do fairly well if he misses his morning nap.

About a month or so ago, Cruz went on a Nursing strike. I thought it was probably time to ween the little guy anyway, so it worked great.

That was, until I started to get really uncomfortable and forced him to help his momma out.

Now he is back to nursing a couple times a day - but I love it and find myself not really wanting to give it up.

This will all change soon though.

Cruz's favorite foods: Frozen Peas (eats them like candy) and Watermelon.

He's continued to be a pretty good eater, bless his heart! 

Cruz loves to tickle people! 

If he sees anyone laying on the floor he will go over to them, pull up their shirt and tickle/pinch their stomach.  He loves it!

YAY for 15 awesome months!

And for such an amazing, fun little guy!
