15 months old - family photo

On Saturday, Marcus turned 15 months old, so we took a family portrait.

Getting bigger by the day

Marcus had his 15 month check-up at Plunket this week. He's now 12.5kg, and 82 cm tall. He's got 15 out of 20 teeth, and his molars are giving him grief every day. He sleeps from 7.30pm to 7.00am and has a two hour nap during the day. He says a lot - mostly variations on mum and dad. But definite sounds are emerging for dog, cat, bus and truck. He knows how to get us to do what he wants, like knocking on the table, or knocking on the floor. He loves running and walking around.

In short, Marcus is not a baby any more. He's a little toddler, with his own personality (which is playful and shy).

Marcus' flannelette pyjamas

With winter approaching, Marcus recently got his first set of flannelette pyjamas.
