So my baby turned 15 months this weekend. This age is so much fun! Yes, I say that every time, buuuut this time I really mean it. ;)
Sam has his own little spunky personality that is just shining through. He’s silly and loves to make everyone laugh. He is always singing and making the cutest little noises. He says “mama” and “dada” but that’s about it as far as English goes.
He gets SO excited whenever he sees a cat or dog. He’s getting better at being gentle with our cat, but is still pretty rough. Definitely something we have to work on before Baby #2 comes! Thankfully, our cat is so good and doesn’t mind the roughness and tugging at all.
He is walking so steady now and always holds his arms up when he does- it’s the cutest. He’s practically running everywhere now, which can be a scary thing! He is content walking around the living room holding various toys (he’s particular to his blue shovel and his bunny girlfriend) and could do so for hours on end. When he picks something up he flicks his wrist back and forth, inspecting it oh so carefully.
He eats whatever we do and is learning to use a spoon himself, too, which usually results in a big ole mess! His favorite foods are pasta with red sauce, blueberries, bananas, peanut butter sandwich and smoothies. It takes him a few minutes to warm up to any new visitors, but once he does they are his new best friend.
Bath time is his favorite, and he loves to splash and get water all over! He also loves swimming- he’s our little fishy!
15 month sleep schedule:
8am- wake up
11am- nap
3pm- nap (sometimes)
8:30pm- bedtime
He has been sleeping through the night so well, too! We’re pretty pleased about that!
His hair is literally completely out of control! It is the main thing everyone always comments on. It’s his perpetual bed head and I love it dearly. I say I’m never going to cut it buuuuut I think I might need to tame it just a little. Yesterday at the grocery store a sweet lady said that he looked like a little radish! That was the final straw for me, haha! It’s my favorite but I have to give him a chance here! ;) So a MINOR, teeny tiny little haircut is in order soon…
15 months is so fun and we are definitely soaking up these days of just him while they last! He is our little light.

His hair is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I’m actually jealous!!
Haha yeah, it’s pretty out of control, but I absolutely LOVE it!

Hi Katie:
I have been following you for quite some time now and wanted to say FIRST congrats to of you on you pregnancy. You are an AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZNG mother and your Mom would be so very proud of you. (I also lost my Mom at a young age and I can so relate to all you have been through as she was and IS my everything). She is shining her light down on your beautiful family. Sam is ADORABLE.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much Donna. Your comment was so sweet and from the heart, and it really made my day. Thank you thank you. <3

I LOVE his hair! He’s just soo sweet. Beau likes walking around holding objects too. I think it kinda helps him with balance. How’s Sam doing drinking milk? Beau has already dropped to one nap (sigh!). We are doing 1 nap around 12ish. Do you put Sam to bed early when he wont take his afternoon one? Love these updates. xoxo
Yeah, I think you’re right about the balance thing. Holding an object must help with that! Sam looooooves milk. Like, a LOT. haha no problem there! We pretty much always put him down for bed around 8-8:30, even if he skips the second nap. He’s grouchy and ready to sleep then! We try earlier, and it neverrrr works haha it’s like he knows if it’s not past 8, he does NOT want to go to bed!

He’s just too darn cute….lady- killer indeed ;)
So glad to hear he’s eating well! It seems like he’s blown through that whole ‘not thriving’ phase with flying colors.
YES, thank God he absolutely is over that phase! :) He is thriving in every sense of the word!

Absolutely precious!!! Can you write about what you typically feed him in a day? Breakfast lunch and dinner? I feel like my sons meals are getting boring.
Ooh love this idea! Yes, I’ll write about meals soon! :)
xo
I cannot get over his hair! SO freakin adorable. That shot that you got of him sucking his thumb is so precious. You have such an awesome little guy from the looks (and sounds) of it!
xx Lauren
Aw thank you Lauren!! :) He is the most awesome!

Hi Katie! I am going to have to say that I am one of your new followers! I was ‘googling’ blogging tips for beginners a stumbled upon your “How to Start a Lifestyle Blog.” I am excited to start as soon as I can find some time to sit quietly without my two little dumplings bugging me every so often. I am immediately in love with your writings after reading a few of your most recent posts. I also checked out your Husband’s blogging website & am so thankful for it. Thank you for being you & thank you for being here!
