A friend sent me a picture of Benjamin from a play date nearly 1 year ago. It's always such a shock to see how much he has changed in the last year. He just had his 15 month checkup and he weighed in at 25lbs-2 oz (60th percentile) and 33" tall (90th percentile). So in between the 'comparison' shots he has gained about 4 lbs and grown nearly 5". He has also changed hair color and obtained a very active personality. So far we've had a chipped tooth, fat lip, a near black eye and lots of scrapes all over. But seeing how his favorite pasttimes are running at full tilt, tackling the dog, climbing up and then off of everything, racing to go down slides forwards, backwards, standing up, on his stomach....and not caring if someone is at the end to catch him, we are expecting a lot more injuries in the future. And with his full blown temper tantrums already at 15 months....I'm a little wary as to what the 'terrible twos' are going to hold for us. But he laughs and giggles as often and as loud as he screams, and after a 'time out' in the crib for misbehaving he will happily cuddle with you to tell you how sorry he was. In fact, I think it's nearly the only time you can get him to stay still for a minute :)

He's so cute! Thanks for the update.
Don't worry, the terrible twos often happen well before they reach two. But they do like to choose what to wear and exercise independence in all kinds of ways. That can be time-consuming!

Yes, they grow up all too fast!!! They change so quickly too.
Aww...I forgot just how chipmunk-y those cheeks were. :) We should get another shot of the boys together soon!
