Handsaker Family Blog: All Things Leo

Leo, you recently had your 15 month check up and are doing great! You are continuing to grow at a rapid speed, still solidly in the 95th% for height but all that moving around has dropped you to the 50th% for weight. I hesitate to call you long and lean because you still have some good looking cankles.
If you're awake, you are in motion, you are able to communicate more of what you want and seem to have new "words" daily. You regularly say, buh-bye, hi, ball, bird, woo-woo (for dog, or really any animal), dada, mama, ga-ga (Georgia), more, baby, hat and a whole lot of car sounds.
You have a new dance, one hand up in the air and one across your body, twisting your wrists and hands, it almost looks like a flamenco dancer, you are pleased but also get a little embarrassed when we get excited about you dancing.
You point to the sky and make an engine sound when you see an airplane
Your favorite toy is the lawnmower, the real lawn mower.. you often climb in the shed and point to it while making that same "engine" sound.
You think the toilet is also a bath, apparently anything in the bathroom that contains water is a bath. I asked you to put some band-aids back in the bathroom the other day, you were so proud as you walked down the hall into the bathroom then came back, grabbed my hand and lead me to show what you'd done... you'd put the band-aids in the toilet and couldn't have been happier about it.
You are sweet, you love to "give love" by wrapping your arms around my neck and give me the biggest hugs.
Georgia continues to be your most favorite person, you can see the amazement in your eyes while watching all that she can do.
You're all boy, you love sticks, you love dogs, you love dirt.

You make me so incredibly happy and I feel so lucky to call you mine.
