15 Months

Today Hollis is 15 months.  I just read the parenting handout on 15-16 months and this little guy is right on target.  These days goes by so fast.  Hollis wakes up, looks for Dad while I make a cup of coffee.  I drink my coffee while Hollis eats breakfast.  He usually eat blueberries, yogurt and some of my oatmeal.  Then he sits on the potty for a little while before he gets dressed.  Then we are both ready for the day's adventure. 

Yesterday he put on his brothers bike helmet and tried to go out the front door.  For a kid who hates hats and hoods, he is fine with helmet as long as he gets a bike ride out of it. 
Yesterday we went to the farm and Hollis spent the morning entertained by Joelene while I tried to get some work done.  They spent hours running around the barn throwing potatoes and stomping in puddles.  He was having some much fun he didn't want to leave. 

Hollis loves looking at books and sharing books with his family and friends.  We point at the pictures and talk about them, but rarely does he give me a chance to read before he turns the page.

Balls, of course.  I can't give an update with out mentioning these little round treasures.  Hollis lives to play ball.  Throwing and kicking and laughing he spends a good part of his days devoted to ball training and practice.
