15 Months and skinny!

We had our 15 month check up on Wednesday. Vince is very healthy and very smart. He is at the level of an 18 month old. Which is great, except that he is not able to express himself fully at this age and whines a lot. The doctor suggested I give him choices for meals (such as "Do you want A or B for lunch today?") I thought no way would he understand me, but I tried it anyway. Turns out, he wants to choose what he'd like to eat and is much less whiny and eats more now! He is very tall and skinny--21 lbs and 32.8 inches tall. Growing like a bean pole I guess.

Despite his tantrums and occasional whines, he is a lot of fun. He is still a busy busy guy. We inherited cousin Jack's old Elmo workbench and Vince loves it! He played with it for most of the day today. Although it hasn't taken place of his favorite thing, a ball. He is doing very well in Kindermusik and dances to the songs and claps his hands. He turns around and moves his arms about while dancing now. He used to just bop up and down. Vince got an early Christmas present from his Gram and Gramp P. A beautiful red wagon that he just loves. We went out in it today since the weather was near 70 degrees. A few days ago there were icicle's on our pool. This Texas weather is crazy--among other things here ;)

We are still very active in our play group. It's nice to have such wonderful moms and kiddos to meet up with each week. I am trying to teach Vince that it is not okay to hit the other children. Some days he doesn't bother them, other days he out to get 'em. We went to a stocking stuffer play date and each mom brought enough goodies for the kids and we filled their stockings. We also went to a ornament making play date.

We are excited to visit our families in Missouri for Christmas and have Santa bring Vince some neat goodies!
