So Many Firsts

Colton is less than a week into being "15 months" and has accomplished so many firsts since we travelled to Minnesota a month ago.

He now 
* drinks out of a straw (with some assistance so as not to poke his little mouth)
* walks around for a long time without falling, can bend down and pick something up without falling
* can go up and down stairs safely
* has increased his vocabulary and  in addition to hi, momma, dadda, brahma, car and kitty kitty - now says Grandpa (Um Pa), Gramma (Mamaaa), Tractor, I don't know (with his shoulders and hands raised), yeah!, Moooooo, tweet tweet, spoon (aboop), and he whooo whooos while he claps for arab shows
* can push the balance toys (ball twirler), great-gramma's walker, his stoller and pull the toy puppy from Amanada
* successfully mounts and rides his stick horse
* throws his paci back in the crib after he wakes up
* added the sign of please, to his already used more and we're working on all-done (finished)

I'm sure other babies do the same, but I'm still proud of him all the same.

He's also become very spoiled from grandma and grandpa constantly picking him up when he asks. The other detriment to spoiling grandparents in Minnesota - his new adjusted bedtime is 9:30 - 10 p.m. EST :/
