Jake is thriving - he is walking, (starting to do a jaunty run) He goes up and down the stairs on his own and can climb down from the couch and chairs but not up yet.
He is a chatty social baby who loves people. His newest thing is to say, "Hi" to everyone while we're in the grocery store.
He can also say about 11 words. (A friend of mine who is a public health nurse is really impressed that Jake has more than 4-5 words which the average for a 1 year old)
His 10 words in order of frequency are:
1. NO! (with exuberance)
2. Nina - Grandma
3. Uh - Up
4. Ow - Down
5. Lye - Light
6. Nye - Nice
7. Eee-Ouw - "Meow" for Kitty. (He calls our Kitties - Meows)
8. Uh-Oh - for anything he drops or throws
9. Tee-Too - ThankYou
10. Gacker - cracker
11. Ba - Ball
Yesterday I got him to say, "wheel" and "coupon".
And when he wants me - he just calls out. He doesn't have a name from me yet. (Sometimes it seems he is calling me "De-de" for "Jodi" but it has been too inconsistent for me to be sure.
He does call specifically for grandma and sometimes he calls grandpa Nina too. (Nina may be generic for grandparents.)
At 15 months he has also been practicing the art of the temper tantrum. (Which I didn't think I would see until around 24 months) He does throw himself back on the floor, scream, get red in the face and hammer his arms and legs into the ground. I just ignore him - so far it has only been at home and he hasn't embarassed me in public yet.
Jake has also shot up. We went to the doctor two days ago for his shots/checkup and he has grown 2 inches since his first birthay in November.
Here are the stats -
November / 12 months
Weight - 22 lbs. 14 oz. 50th percentile
Height - 30 inches 50 percentile
February / 15 months
Weight - 24 lbs. 12 oz. - 55th percentile
Height - 32 inches 75th percentile
Yup! My kid may be tall... and he hair is start to curl a little on the top.
Included is a picture of Jake naked in a rocking chair.
He ran away from me during a diaper change and climbed into the chair.
I couldn't resisit a photo...
