15 Months Old

I just turned 15 months old and thought I've give an update on what I'm up to.

Well, as I said I'm walking all over now. I don't crawl much at all anymore. I can stand up on my own and if I'm moving I'm walking. I have it figured out that I need to walk slower on the hard floors at home than I do on the carpet too.

I am still a great sleeper. Usually in bed between 7:30-8:00 and night and wake between 7:30-8:30 in the morning.

For breakfast I usually have a banana and either peanut butter toast or an egg. I recently starting getting a small bowl of cereal and I am a big fan of that. Mom gives me a spoon but I'm not very good at using it yet so I use my fingers and she also helps me a bit with the spoon.

Naps vary - some days I take two names, one in the morning and one in the afternoon but there are those days where I just take one. I'm usually not as happy in the evenings on those one nap days and bed time comes a bit earlier.

Trying to think of some of my new words I've added since I last posted...well here's a full list of my words.

When I'm asked a question I almost always give an answer. It's either, "nooooo" or a full body nod "yes". It might not always be a truthful answer but Mom and Dad think both are pretty funny. 

I'm a pretty emotional girl. Mom and Dad say I'm fragile. I can turn my lip upside down and wail just by being told "no." I still like to be held, a lot! I prefer it be by Daddy but Mom will do. :) 

I am a very happy little lady though. I like to be silly and giggle and laugh. I like to be tickled while I lay on my back. I am really starting to like playing with Cohen more and more and I think he is with me as well. He'll 'chase' me around the living room and kitchen, hide and when I come he lets out a little yell, then I do, we laugh and the game goes on and on. It makes Mom smile inside and out when we play together and enjoy each other. I really look up to my big brother and am interested in everything he does. He doesn't always want me to be around but he tolerates me pretty well. 

I LOVE and I mean LOVE to dance. Any music or singing I've got my body bopping or my hips swaying saying, "dance. dance."

I like to be by Mom or Dad, the times I play by myself are minimal. Some days I will do this more than others. I like to see what they're up to if they're in the kitchen and if they're in the living room I want to be on the couch with them or have them on the floor with me. If I am playing by myself once I see or hear them it's over. 

I enjoy playing with my baby dolls. I like to wrap my "pinky" taggie around them, hold them up by my shoulder, pat their back and say, "nice". I also like to play with my princess castle Santa brought and really love to look at books, as well as be read to. Books hold my interest by far the longest of anything. 

I'm sure the next few months will have a lot of new tricks in store for me to learn. Can't wait to see what they are.
