Stinker Man

I thought I'd take a chance to update on what Case is up to (besides mischief)! We had his fifteen month appointment on new years eve and for the first time in his life he moved up the chart in weight! He is now in the 10th percentile, weighing in at 21 lbs and 3 oz! The better news is we can finally move his car seat around. He's been facing backwards cause two months ago, he was still only 19 lbs. So he's facing forward and loving it. He was 31.5 inches tall which was 65th percentile and his head was 65th percentile.
Case is running around like crazy! He loves to be chased, not much has changed there! He loves to climb all over anything and everything. He can now climb onto the chair and then onto the kitchen table. He is very coordinated, kicking a soccer ball around better than I do (which isn't saying too much!). I think right now, Case's number one passion in life is balls. He'll sit and "cuddle" two balls in his arms. Here he is playing with four at once and in a ball pit at a local indoor playground.
It seems like Case learns something new everyday. He can now stick his little pointer finger up if you ask how old he is, can do the touchdown sign, can say his new favorite word, "up", can sign please, more, all done, milk, and his own made up sign for upstairs. He made up an upstairs sign because he LOVES going upstairs to visit Bert and Beki if they are home. I think his favorite part of the day is 3 pm when everyone starts coming home, he loves to run and check who's coming in the door but he has a special squeal of excitement when it's Daddy.
Case is also really into cars, trucks, airplanes, any thing that moves and makes noise. He's learned how to do a really good "vroom", and my sister got a picture of him in action!Maybe the best is his "Stinker Man Face". It started kind of randomly, he started doing this little face at lunch one day when it was just he and I. I was laughing so hard he did it over and over again. Then Hannah came over later that day, he did it again and she laughed so hard... that was all it took, he knew he had a "trick". He loves to perform "stinker man face". He does it on his own and when asked. It's kind of hard to get a picture of it, but here's a pretty good one! Basically he just squints his eyes real tight and smiles real cheesy like. We love it!
