Adam at 15 months

I need to freeze a moment in time so I can remember what my baby boy is like.

Adam just turned 15 months and he fools most people into thinking he is a 2 year old.

He runs as fast as Eden. In fact, I have to do more than walk to catch him. He even thinks he is so big as to walk down the stairs like a grown up. If only his legs agreed they were long enough.

He has discovered how to throw and kick balls and will do whatever he can to keep up with Eden.

Adam is a HUGE tease.

And yet he is as obedient and polite as any 15 month old can be. He throws things away without me asking and understands most everything. He communicates well through sign language, saying "please," "all done," "thank you," and "good night." He has a floppy wave which is just adorable and is very friendly.

Adam has a grin that will melt your heart and a huge underbite that makes me think of Grandpa (Joe) everytime I see it.

He's got great rhythm and starts to groove whenever he hears a beat.

He doesn't say much yet besides "uh!" in different intonations- it's amazing what you can understand with one non-word. But he does say Mom, Dad, and Hi. Which also translates into Grandma, Matthew, and Phone. Phones... he loves phones. Every kid does- Adam just happens to put his hand up to his ear and say 'hi' for phone and you can bet on finding him stealing the phone from grandma and grandpa's room because it's within reach. He may or may not have dropped it in the toilet and bathtub at one time.

We have nearly 8 teeth, but it doesn't matter the number- he eats almost anything he wants these days. If I gave him a choice, it would almost always be something chocolatey or sweet, surprise, surprise... and somehow even if I don't let him have what he wants he finds it anyway. Don't all grandkids know where the secret candy stash is? Or it's as easy as just asking grandma.

That's my buddy Adam. He's a great kid and we love him!
