Brett's transition between baby & toddler

Brett is now 15 months old, and just like all babies this age; they get into everything!
Activities:
He especially loves my makeup. He opens my drawer, goes straight for the lipstick, takes the cap off and swipes the lipstick on his head. Luckily the lipstick is tucked inside the bottom half of the tube or else he would have pretty pink hair stripes. He loves his new basketball hoop. He is getting to be quite a great shot, and he even challenges himself by sitting down and backing up a few feet before he shoots. He has discovered the great outdoors this past month, and he escapes any chance he gets. He tries to jump on the trampoline, loves the basketball hoop and swing set, but especially loves the sandbox. His best friend is Anamarie and she is so sweet and patient with him. They play together in the basement play room, but their favorite spot is in my closet. Anamarie will turn off the lights and turn them back on again, which will set Brett into a roar of laughter; so cute. They can do this game for an hour. She loves to carry him around by his under arms and bring him to her location of choice; like her new "hut" that she created that day. Or to her bedroom to throw her blankets and pillows off and jump on her bed like monkeys do.
Development:
His vocabulary consists of: Mama, Dada,De-de (Binki) Uh-oh, Boop, and Hi. He signs a few words too, like; more, please and thank you. He loves to dance to music with a good beat. His dancing is basically marching in place while he bobs his head up and down. He loves to find his and anyone Else's belly button and "boop" it. Which means he sticks his finger in it and says "boop".
Behavior:
He is very shy around most people and tucks his head down or turns away when they speak to him. He has finally warmed up to Aunt Chris, Uncle Kolby, both grammy's, Grandpa Kim and Janise. His temperament is very mild and relaxed; which I love. It takes a lot for him to laugh at something, but he does smile all the time.
Growth:
He wears size 18-24 months in clothes and shoe size is a 4. He weighs 24 pounds and is 31 inches tall. He also has a very small head. In fact, every check up he's had he measures in the bottom 5% for his age group, 75% for his height, and 50% for his weight. He still has his blonde hair, we are not sure how long that will last though.
Diet:
Brett's diet consists of an array of foods that can change daily. He consistently loves chocolate milk, apple juice, scrambled eggs, dried cranberries, oranges, apples, yogurt, blueberries, steak, chicken, and of course any chocolate or ice cream. He use to love avocados and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and now despises them.
Sleeping Schedule:
His sleeping schedule is also very nice. To bed around 8pm, awake around 8am and takes a nap from 12-2:40pm every day, but has to have his "de-de" (binki) when he sleeps. What a joy this little guy has brought to our family; We love our little "baby Brett-sies"
