{ 15 months }

I've been called out for lack of blogging. And it's true, it's been on my list for over a week to get something up. I blame it on the busy toddlers that are ruling this household.

But since they turned 15 months on Saturday, I thought I should do a little update.

We've been enjoying the amazing fall weather and took a one night trip a few weekends ago up to the Lodge. The guys assisted in taking out the boat and dock, while the kids enjoyed the outdoors.

There was no lack of leaves.

The John Deere was a big hit.

And (of course) the swing.

For the big kids too.

Their stats at the 15 month appointment showed that they are healthy, growing babies. They took their last round of shots like all-stars. No crying! Official stats for documentation purposes:
Oliver
Weight: 25 lbs 8 oz
Height: 32.5 inches
Stella
Weight: 24 lbs 12 oz
Height 32 inches

While this age has proved to be easier in some ways, it also has brought about new challenges. Can you say toddler tantrums?!

But aside from that, here are some of their other favorite things at 15 months:
Peek a Boo.....it never gets old (for them at least!).

Despite the piles of toys in our house, outlet covers are way more exciting.

But really, the fact that they can just pull them out kind of defeats the purpose.

Wrestle mania.

Being silly.

Eating with spoons and forks. As if it wasn't messy enough before!

But who needs utensils or hands?

Waiting for daddy to come home (And yes, the window is really that dirty. Don't judge).

Talking jibberish. Neither of them have much of a vocabulary of words, but are trying. Stella's favorites are dog, hi, mah-mah (for milk), mommy, dada. She also loves to make noises for dogs, cows, cats, monkeys, and lions.

Oliver is mainly a mama, dada, dog and truck boy when it comes to saying words. Oh, and roaring too.

Bath time!

During which we try to keep Oliver from emptying the tub.

We are in the process of transitioning to one nap. Going anywhere in the morning means battling to keep them awake on the car ride home. But some days even a cheese stick won't win over sleep.
