Vanya's milestones at 15 mo, 1 wk

  • going downstairs forward. He can't do it alone, but that doesn't stop him from trying every once in a while...
  • barking ("wuf") when he sees a dog - or any animal, be it a seagull or beetle.
  • walking with bent knees, as if he were sitting. Just for fun.
  • pretty good at drinking from a cup (a real one, not sippy) and eating with a spoon or fork. He can't quite scoop up the food, but can bring whatever is on the spoon to his mouth.
  • putting together and taking apart Nikita's legos and markers. It wasn't too long ago he would come to me to put things together so he could take them apart.


Things that Ivan likes that Nikita didn't care about at his age:
  • Balls
  • Pulling things on a string
