My cheesy boy

Ammon is 3 days away from 15 months. The past two months he has improved so much in his development! I still don't know what has caused the delays. . . not that I haven't been entertaining many theories.
However - he is very good at climbing up the stairs. He does it about once a day. This has strengthened his core and gotten him up on all fours and he's learned how to cross crawl from it as well. I've never been so proud to see my baby crawl!! Hurray! He is also picking up more and more on imitative. We get kind of excited when he copies us or shows recognition in meaning. He played peekaboo with me on the way home from our family reunion and I was pretty excited about it.
He waves once in a while too. He kind of says "All done." He is learning to feed himself although it's messy business.
He likes to cruise. Probably peer pressure from daycare where all the other kids are up on twos and he still kind of gets around on fours (but not on his belly anymore!!)
I love this cheesy grin of his! I've never seen a kid this young give such a fake cheesy smile, but he loves to do it when he's especially proud of himself or when we're pretty proud of him.
Friday, during OC therapy, he pulled up on a toy and we all clapped and cheered for him because he did it right. He went to clap his hands too and fell down. It startled him, but he was fine. I was excited that he went to clap his hands! That is a rarity for us.
I love my little boy so much! Going back to work is hard. I miss him while I'm away. And last week I was away a lot! I've had a fun Sunday afternoon playing with him.
