Baby Brag #2- My baby blows his nose!

I feel the need to post another baby brag today, purely because this one feels so impressive and unusual to me!  My little man is only about 14 and a half months old.  He just came down with another cold (which is surprising because we are all normally extremely healthy) and has had a runny/stuffy nose as his worst symptom.  I've been wiping his nose constantly, a duty every parent is probably very familiar with.  

A couple days ago, I thought to myself, "It would help so much if he could blow his nose!"  We don't have much luck with nasal aspirators, so a good nose blow would be wonderful.  The next time I saw the need for a nose wipe, I told Brennan, "Brennan, can you blow your nose like Mama?" and showed him how I do it.  Then I put the tissue up to his nose and made the blowing sound again.  Sure enough, he did it!  I was actually completely shocked and really proud!

This is probably such a lame event to be blogging about, but it sure made my day!  He's been doing just great since, too!  I'm not sure what the average nose-blowing age is, so tell me.  When did your kids blow their noses for the first time?
