15 months brought the major milestone of walking!! A few steps here and there in the beginning and then more and more slowly put together. In your 15th month we celebrated 4th of July, road tripped to Chicago, and enjoyed some of the things that Summer has to offer. I know I said this last month, but your personality keeps coming out more and more. It is so fun to see. We have a few little things we do that make me laugh and you seem to love that. I don't know if its me laughing or if its so fun for you to finally be able to communicate something and we both understand each other. You and Isabella have started playing together a little more. She gets a little frustrated when you don't play along quite how she wants you to. You have become a little more adventurous in trying new foods and tried and actually ate strawberries, pineapple, and mac and cheese this month. You have four teeth that are still trying to make their way through. You are easy going and happy most of the time, but if you don't like or want something you let us know. 
We love you so much!
