Tracen's 15 months old

I can't believe that Tracen is 15 months old! Time flies way too fast. He is such a fun and happy baby. We all adore him and he knows it. He rules the roost and has become the spoiled brat baby of the family. But he's fun and we love him! I weighed him at work the other day when I stopped to get my schedule. He weighs 38 pounds 4 ounces. Dr. Bleazard tried to bribe him with a chip and then gave him a laffy taffy....gee thanks, he was so sticky! This is rather long so feel free to skip to the cute pics.

Tracen at 15 months:
Tracen has perfected walking in the last few months minus a few druken-walking type episodes. We're not sure who supplied the booze :) But, no, once he started walking he just took off. We were a little worried about it but he has a cute little toddler walk and when he gets excited its a near run.

He giggles and laughs and screams. He's mischevious and tries to play jokes. He'll reach over and whack you and then tip his head back and giggle. It's cute for now!

He likes to be in the middle of the party. If the boys are doing something he wants to do it too.

He likes pop. Brown fizzy and probably especially caffiene. And he backwashes really bad so he gets his own rootbeer now (or the left over diet dr pepper...see below)

He says lots of names: Daddy, Momma, Ty (Dahhh), Jesse (ahhwree), and Adi (which he says perfectly) Adi is our neighbor.

He's taken to petting Sadie, we have to help him be soft. He's also taken to dropping things on her so we have to watch him.

Speaking of dropping things, that's another favorite, he drops everything expensive things like cameras and phones as well as cheap things like sippy cups.

He says lots of other words. His favs at the moment are uh-oh, Whoa whoa whoa and oh. He also says dog, that, he barks, growls and babbles.

He knows and uses some signs like bird (his fav), milk (which means give me a bottle now!), more, and we're working on please and thank you which he doesn't have a lot of patience for

He likes using a fork

If he wants something or doesn't get his way he screams and yells and throws a fit. If someone hands him what he wants he immediately stops crying and slaps a grin on his face

He loves to go outside. He loves sliding and swinging lots too. He'd let you put him back at the top of the slide or push him in the swing all day long.

Tracen we love you bud! We can't imagine what life was like before you joined our family. We're so glad that Heavenly Father sent you to us!
