15 months

Matheson's vocabulary has blown up the last 2 weeks. He is sounding out words and talking more every day. Along with common words like car, baby, book, boy, dog, mama, dada; he is saying complex words like Daisy and Doogan.
I find it amazing how much he understands. He knows when I say, "It's bath time, let's go take a bath". Matheson will run to the bathroom and try to get in the tub. We can tell him, "Go get the book, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" and Matheson will go to the bookshelf and pickout that book. If he's hungry, he will go to the high chair and try to climb in or if I say, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat?", he will go towards the high chair.

Molars are a BEAST. Last month, he got in his second upper molar and I can see the bottom two are working their way out as well. His gums are red and swollen and Matty definitely has been cranky/whiny from it.

He has been sleeping 7-7am and naps are either one long nap midday or two shorter naps. It is harder to get him to nap nowadays as there is so much to do and explore.

Curiosity can be the best adjective to describe M's behavior. He is curious about the world around him and into EVERYTHING. He was convined to the bathroom with me while I was using the toilet. Matheson opened the shower and proceeded to remove the shower drain and was digging in the gross hair glob in the drain....ewwwwww. He wants to dig and eat the dirt, pickup rocks and put in his mouth. Basically, ALL BOY. He still loves books and will pull all of them off the shelves and look through them. It's getting harder for him to sit and listen to me read to him though. Toys, toys and toys. He loves playing with toys. I enjoy watching him put the animals in the farmhouse or push the cars down the track.

The world is his oyster and Matheson is intent and finding pearls.
