Fifteen months

Brock Alexander had his fifteen month well-check appointment two weeks ago. (Yes, by the time I'm writing this he is closer to sixteen months). Alas, the portrait session pictures and statistics you will be receiving are his fifteen months! Brock weighed in at 26 pounds, 2 ounces (90th percentile) and 32.75 inches (95th percentile).

He is a "terrorist" as Brent calls him. His favorite thing to do is chase Oscar around the house - loves both of the dogs' tails, but Diesel doesn't scare as easily. Brock loves making noise - the louder, the better. He bangs the metal mixing bowls together, loves shutting doors and loves the little wiggly door stoppers (boooiiing!). He has also started to get really upset if he doesn't get his way and bangs his head on the wall out of frustration. He's just starting to "dance" to music by lifting his shoulders up and down. Brock loves playing outdoors - he loves his walks to the playground and exploring all the little bugs along the way. Brock can sit for a long time by himself and "read" his books and explore the buttons on a particular toy. He is really a happy little boy, very cuddly at times and will get up from his play to come give me a hug.

The rocking horse in the picture with Brock was mine when I was a little girl. It was one of my gifts on my first Christmas. Such a treasure that Brock gets to enjoy it too AND he loves rocking on it!
