Dear Asher,
Happy fifteen month birthday! This was a big developmental month for you. The biggest thing is you took your first steps! It was a really exciting moment because you chose to walk for the first time from me to daddy, while Zahara was cheering you on. It was an awesome family moment. You showed off your new skills for babushka, dedushka, and Aunt Amy this weekend too! You haven't walked too much on your own since then, but now we know you can do it. We're excited to give you more opportunities to practice.
You're also talking a lot more now. In addition to the words you had last month (mama, dada, "hara"), you now say cat, ball, no, banana, bye, and you'll say "arf" when you see a dog. You still sign for milk, all-done, and up. You are picking up new words and sounds all the time. You love mimicking what everyone else says and does. You repeat gestures, sounds, and silly dance moves.
This month you were extra clingy, which translated into a lot of hugs and kisses from you. Who can say no to that? I think it was probably teething though, since you now have around 16 teeth! It's crazy! So many popped up this month.
You and your sister play so well together--for the most part. You, of course, love everything she does. The way you glow when she smiles at you or plays with you is the most beautiful sight in the world. You two are giving me a scare though, because neither of you hold back; you're so rough with each other! I'm always worried someone is going to get hurt, but you two are just shrieking with joy as you wrestle each other to the ground. And yes, you can hold your own against her. I guess that's what being in the 90th percentile for height and weight will do for you.
You still absolutely hate diaper changes and the car seat. You love food--any kind. You're excellent and crawling up and down the stairs ("tummy toes"). You sleep great at night (knock on wood!), but are getting a little fussier at nap time. And getting you off the bottle is going to be a real challenge.
Asher, your personality is really shining through and we can't wait to see what comes next. Happy birthday! We love you!
