Look What I Can Do - 15 Months!

Since James just turned 15 months yesterday it's the perfect time to discuss his milestones!

According to Baby Center, James should be able to play with a ball, use three words regularly, and walk backwards. So check, check, check!

He should also have the following emerging skills: scribbles with a crayon, runs, and adopts 'no' as his favorite word. Well he does scribble with a crayon or marker, but he uses it more like a bingo dabber. He definitely runs around so we got that covered. Lastly he doesn't say 'no' yet, instead he shakes his head no.

Then for advanced skills they suggest that he helps around the house, I don't consider his mischief when unpacking the dishwasher help. However he does put balls and toys back into containers sometimes. Also when he doesn't want more snacks he puts them back in the container. He would also be advanced if he put his fingers this mouth to say 'shhh', which he doesn't do.

That's it for milestones, but here are some more skills that I've seen. James climbs up everything, especially our bed and couches. He pulls on Adit or I to help himself up. He can use a spoon and gets food in his mouth with it. James can open some pop off lid containers and tries to put them back on. Other than those my mind is drawing a blank as that's all I can remember today.

Happy reading!
