15 months old

The rock star is 15 months old today. He has blossomed so much in the last three months. He is talking more. He is climbing more. He is eating more (didn't know that was possible). He is becoming a toddler (sniff, sniff).

The funniest thing of the last three months is his Michael Jackson syndrome. My child is getting lighter and lighter. I didn't know that could happen. His hair is so blond and with summer around the corner, you know it will be getting even lighter! We get comments all of the time. Very peculiar!

Things Rocco says:
Mama
DaDa
Jill-ee-n
uppy (aka "Somebody pick me up!")
again
Dat? (aka "What's that?)

Favorite foods:
chicken
ham
green beans (will eat an entire can)
avacado (will eat an entire avacado or more)
apples (will eat a whole apple)

He got teeth #13 and #14 (the top two incisors). There has been a ton of drool and discomfort!

He can point to his nose, his hair and ears. He also loves playing the stinky feet game with Jillian and he knows exactly where his feet are.

He now has an interest in books and loves pointing to different things in books so you can tell him the name.

Here he is looking so handsome!!!



Sign language has taken off! He can do:
more
drink
done
cereal (aka Cheerios b/c that is the only cereal I give them)
milk

This is his favorite "sign" - the double point which means "I want you!"


This is his second favorite "sign" along with the word "uppy."


He has also started the crinkle face. Jillian loved making the crinkle face!! So cute!!

Now here are some comparison shots! Poor Bryan is sorely neglected on this blog so this is for him!

This is B at 15 months. He looks smaller than Rocco and does not have nearly as much hair as the Rocc-ster! But I do see similarities!


This picture is B at 2 years old and that looks A LOT like my R-man. Honestly this looks like Bill to me but the date clearly says 1979 so it has to be Bryan. I love that his lovely locks match Rocco's!!!


This is also Bryan at 2 1/2 years old with the best smile ever! He had just gotten in trouble for dumping the shampoo. (You can see it in the background.) Obviously, he was pretty happy about it!! Again the hair looks like Rocco's now!


Finally, this is one of my fav Bryan pictures. Again he is around 2 1/2 and look at that smile! So cute! Definitely starting to see the olive complexion starting to come out!


I'll leave with a funny story. On Tuesday, Bryan had the kids up at school with me so that we could eat dinner together b/c I had a function up at school Tuesday night. One of my students saw me holding Rocco and he said, "He looks just like you Mrs. P." I said, "You don't think he looks like his Daddy?" He said, "No, the Daddy is too brown." LOL!! He said it, not me!!!
