Peter's 15 Month Appointment

This morning we went and had Peter's 15 month check up and shots and here are his stats:

Weight: 21 lbs 4 oz - 10%
Height: 31 1/4" - 80%
Head: 19" - 75%

He's perfectly healthy and still doesn't like the doctor touching him at all. Peter got upset when the doctor listened to his heart and lungs and then he got REALLY upset when the doctor looked in his ears and eyes. He had to get 2 shots in the leg and it made him really upset but they had dum-dums so I gave him one and it made him very happy for quite some time. He even figured out how to get the wrapper off all by himself and was alternating between sucking on his pacifier and the sucker.

In just the past week Peter has decided to walk on his own and he has gotten pretty good at it. Here's a video of him walking with some of our reusable grocery bags. 

Here's another cute video of Peter giving his new easter monkey kisses.

Here's one last video of Peter's first easter egg hunt. 

Easter

Friday evening some friends of ours organized an Easter egg hunt for the kids at one of the parks in our neighborhood. We had a lot of fun. Peter practiced walking and ate a cupcake and even got some eggs into his bucket.

The whole gang. Peter's being held by one of the girls in our primary class in the back row.

Look an egg!

He knew just what to do with those eggs.

Today we stayed home and watched conference on our computer and Peter clapped for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. After conference was over we had a yummy Easter dinner with Tim & Megan & Shaun David. Peter had so much fun walking and playing with his cousin.

I did a family "basket" again this year, though most of it was candy. :) Peter got another *Traditional Easter Monkey which was harder to find than I anticipated. The only monkey that I could find was a Reeses monkey in the Easter section. I guess next year we'll have to buy a monkey off season and save it for Easter.

*I posted a picture on facebook last year of Peter with the monkey he got and a friend made the comment of, "Of course, the traditional easter monkey." And we took it to heart. :)

It's hard to decided which toy to play with.

Stuff needs to go in the bucket.

Let's play!

Watching "Top Gear"

There's always something fun to do when a cousin is around.

Peter's First Easter

This year I did a family Easter basket; we haven't really done Easter baskets in the past but I wanted to make sure that there was one for Peter's first Easter, even though he obviously wasn't all that interested in it. :) In the basket for Peter there was a stuffed monkey, a ball and a cute night light. Andrew got 4 flexible cutting boards and a pair of gardening shears. And I got the basket and chocolate. There was also Spring Oreos and Peeps.

Peter's eyes have gotten lighter and in this picture they look like they're the same shade as Andrew's eyes.
