Holy cow I haven't blogged in 2 months!?!? Well, I have over at Adventures at Naptime, but not here! And I haven't even kept up the other blog very well this season either. Monogram Cafe is keeping me incredibly busy when I'm not hanging with my munchkins!!
I haven't even been good about uploading pictures to Snapfish. So I uploaded a ton today, but they are all out of order and I don't have the time/patience/care to go through and organize them! However- I'm sad that these won't be in sequential order from 12 months-15 months. Because I love to see how time progresses! Maybe I'll have a rash of free time in the near future (HA!) and come back to re-order these photos.
In the meantime, I will just pat myself on the back for blogging about how adorable Tate is at 15 months before he actually turns 16 months in about a week and a half!
Speaking of how ADORABLE he is. Seriously. Adorable.
He is talking like CRAZY. He attempts to mimic every word you say. These are the words he's officially incorporated into his vocab (plus many more; but these are his frequent ones... or at least ones that I find particularly adorable).
I'm putting his pronunciation in parenthesis b/c that's obviously the cutest part!
Jump, giraffe (jaff), lion (i-lon), tea (tees), juice box (bu-box), thank you (tu tu), no-no-no, YEAH!, outside (ow-sye), DID IT!, I want that, night-night (nye-nye), bye-bye, truck (tuck), papa (baba), mimi, mormor, Ada (this was like his first word! Now he says it very loud and very deliberately), Dax (finally saying it right), cookies, banana (nana), backpack, box, turtle (tuh-tuh), dog, cheese (sheez), shoes (chuhz),
Other adorable facts:
1) He runs SO fast! Like lightning fast!
2) He calls for Ada in the mornings from his crib.
3) Pretends to be a dog. A LOT. Dax and Ada call him "T-Dog." In fact, all you have to do is say "T-Dog" and he instantly drops and walks and pants like a dog! See picture-
4) Pretends to talk on the phone.
5) LOVES this alphabet "show" on my phone. Whenever it gets to "Z" he shouts "AGAIN!"
6) He's super particular about what books he likes. He seems to be a non-fiction fan...
7) DEMANDS whatever the bigs get. Every single thing MUST BE EQUAL. It's cute most of the time.
8) He LOVES the Zoo. And Sea World! Animals in general. He just gets a huge rush from seeing animals he's read about in books up close and personal! And don't get me started on dolphins.
9) He loves the Frozen Soundtrack. He does non-verbal sound effects RIGHT on cue from his carseat. And a few dance moves.
Here are some pictures of him form 12-15 months! You will see from these how much he 1) loves to swim 2) loves to eat 3) play at splash parks 4)loves bath time 5)loves his big brother and sister!

I have a few more adorable videos of him over the last 3 months, but I'm having issues uploading them to YouTube at the moment! I'll post those in a separate post soon :) This is Tate at Sea World last month. He LOVED it! He was so into the animals and shows. Was even a total trooper when we sat in the Splash Zones! This is a short compilation of his adorable excitement at the Dolphin and Beluga show "Azul".
