15 Months

Damon is 15 months today! This morning he had his 15 month check up with Dr. Murphy. He is 2 1/2 feet tall and weighs in at 24 lbs. 7 oz. His head circumference is in the 90th percentile--big noggin. He received 2 shots, cried real hard, then when I stood him up, he was fine. Silly kid.

Damon has accomplished a lot in the last month.
1. He is fully weened:)
2. He finally sleeps through the night--well, every 2 or 3 nights he still wakes up but only for 15-20 minutes.
3. Says uh-oh, woof, sound intonation for Peek-a-boo, and is beginning the sounds for "no".
4. Loves to look at books in his chair.
5. He got to see and touch 3 dogs recently and had absolutely no fear.

A few cute stories...
One night we were saying bedtime prayers with Damon. Barrett and I knelt down with Damon on my lap. He got right up and had to kneel beside his dad, with his arms folded, just like his dad--super cute! Barrett had a hard time getting through the prayer after that. Damon is starting to mimic a lot more now--watch out!
On Saturday we headed down to the Washington DC Temple. We guilt-tripped Kim into babysitting while we were there. Barrett and I walked out and saw Kim pushing an empty stroller with Damon throwing rocks and acorns. Pretty cute. Thanks a ton Kim--you're one of the best sisters ever:) Before we left for DC, I caught Damon carrying his dad's scripture case around the house, then he decided he needed it for a stool, so he could read over the gate?! So fun!
p.s. I am fully aware that Damon has a purple Dora chair. After weeks of searching in numerous stores and online for a "boy" chair, I finally gave up and bought a purple Dora chair--at least it wasn't pink princess:)
