Welcome to Toddlerhood, Mommy


A couple of days ago Colton turned 15 months old. He is now officially walking and I had heard and read that in this transition a shift happens from a typical easy-going, calm, passive type child (if you are lucky enough to have one of those like mine, I suppose) to a fidgety, I-want-to-do-it-myself, get-me-out-of-this-stroller-before-I-lose-it, type child. Today I took Colton shopping to try to get some early Christmas shopping done. Now, keep in mind, I think either I haven't yet seen the worst of it, or my son is just being nice, but today was no picnic. If he did not have something to either eat or entertain him, he was trying to climb out of the stroller and/or grab all the nicely stacked and folded items and pull them off the shelves.

But, on the other hand, it's so cute to watch him toddle around and explore everything. He says several words which include: "ma ma", "da da", "bye-bye", "uh-oh", "NO" (more like "nnnnnnO!") and lately he says "Bye-bye, ti-ti" but we don't know who or what "ti-ti" is. Jason thinks Colton is referring to the fact that he is no longer breastfeeding anymore, but I disagree. I'm not positive, but I am pretty sure he says "Oh yeah" too.
