Mace - 15 Months

Yesterday Mr. Mace had his 15 month check with the doctor and passed with flying colors.  He is 27 lbs 7 oz (80%) and he's 33.5" tall (97%).  He's right on target for all of his milestones.  He should have 3-6 words at this age and currently has 6 that he pretty consistently uses.  They are da-da, hi, kitty, ball, on, and up.  It's so cute because Mace calls babies and all animals kitties.  He is doing a good job at pointing at what he wants.  He knows that his shoes go on his feet and hats go on his head.  Yesterday I asked the boys if they wanted to go out for supper.  Mace ran right over to his diaper bag, pulled out his shoes and tried putting one on his foot.  He's such a smarty pants.

He currently likes to help with laundry; he knows to pull the clothes out of the washer and put them in the dryer.  Then when he's finished he closes the door and after I set it, he pushes the start button.  He is also getting really good at following simple directions like "throw this in the garbage" or "find your cup".

His current favorite activities include dance parties, itsy bitsy spider, emptying the kitchen drawers, and playing with big boys toys.  Now he can walk around pushing a dump truck just like his older brothers and loves to tag along with them.  

In the last couple weeks he has pooped twice and pottied once on the big potty.  We've only put him on there three times so three for three is pretty good odds.  Please note that I am in no way attempting to potty train.  While we are trying to get Cade comfortable with the big potty we might as well do it with Mace too.

What You Don't Want To Hear

This morning when I went to pick Mace up from his nursery room after MOPS I heard the following, "Has anyone seen Mace?"  This was then followed by all of the women responding "no".  The woman started looking around and he was nowhere to be found in the room.  Apparently he likes to wander over to the other side of the room into the other class.  It's a really large room separated by a half wall with a half door in between.  The door must have been opened and he wondered over.  That's the second time I've found him in that room.  Maybe they have better toys over there. :)
