happy 15th month birthday!

z is now 15 months old. last time i weighed him, he was 30 lbs with clothes. we just moved up to size 5 in diapers. he's wearing 2T sized clothes, except for the old ones that stretch enough to still fit him. if he's in a bad mood, he just wants to be held all the time, and cries when we set him down. he wants his momma, especially. i'm trying to take him to more social outings - play groups, book readings at libraries... we need to start some form of music classes.

i'm beginning to do group classes with my violin students, so last weekend was busy. on friday night, my students 6th grade & older came over for a pizza party/performance class for 2 hours. on sunday, those 5th grade and under came over for a group class for an hour. there was lots of giggling, so i think it was a success. on saturday we had our first ever non-family babysitter while j & i went out to see the met's broadcast of der rosenkavalier. the music was wonderful, but watching a trouser role (where a woman plays a man) in high definition was a little yucky. susan graham sounded wonderful, but made the love scenes a little gross. not so believable. renee fleming was beautiful. sunday night, after the class, we made dinner for g'ma tigard, as it was her birthday on tuesday.
