15 Months Old

Sweet angel, I CANNOT believe you are already 15 months old!  Seriously, where did the time go?

You're still a petite little thing.  You still weigh around 18.4 lbs...same as your 12 month check up.  Even 12 month clothes are big on you.  You rocked a pair of Baby Gap leggings that are for 3-6 months old and they fit you perfectly.  You have tiny feet.  Wearing a size 3, but your toes are barely hanging over.  You really need a 3.5, sadly half sizes aren't made for you.  Even though you haven't gained weight, your hair is growing!  We can even put it in a front ponytail :)  Your hair is getting longer in the back, especially on the right side.

You have 8 teeth currently.  Your back bottom are trying to make their appearance.  Your gums are super swollen and one part of a  tooth on your left side has poked out.  Very tiny part of the tooth.

You still don't care for cow's milk, but will have it in your old fashioned oatmeal and smoothies.  You spit it out if you drink it by itself.  You also don't care for apple juice.  You did surprisingly drink 3 organic juice boxes, but now will only take sips then push it away.  You LOVE water!!!

 

You LOVE being outside more than anything.  You will stay outside for hours.  I love watching you explore and pointing things out to me.  

  

Balls and bubbles are your favorite.  Every time you see either, you will point and say, "bah." They make you so happy.

You are a strong little booger.  You try and carry things that are bigger than you.  Sometimes you manage to carry it, other times you look at me like, "Mom, are you going to help me or what?"

You love animals.  You hug and give Bro Bro kisses when he will let you.  We go to the aquarium often because you love seeing all the fish.  Santa Claus may get you a year membership so we can go anytime we feel like it!  Every time you see a dog on tv or out on our walk, you point and say "dah."  You watched parts of '101 Dalmatians' the other day and LOVED it!  I think that will probably be one of your favorite movies when you are a little older.

  

You love copying mommy.  Whether its brushing teeth, picking up pine cones in the yard (we now have a pine cone free yard because every time you spot one, you want me to pick it up), putting pine straw in the trash can to add to the beds or throwing trash away (you've been known to get into the trash and grab something to throw away). Maybe you really like to clean?  That's fantastic is so!

You like order.  If we give you a crayon with the pointy side up, the next one has to be in the same direction.  If not, you will turn it the right way before holding it in your hand.   You do this with q-tips as well.  If one side doesn't have the cotton swab, you will turn it to the correct side.  So smart!

You are about to go on your first vacation that's not going to your grandparents.  We are leaving Wednesday for Asheville for daddies conference.  I'm slightly nervous about the car ride and sharing a hotel room with you.  Mommy and daddy will be sitting outside the room while you are sleeping until we go to bed.  Crossing fingers you'll do well

You are a silly little girl.  You'll spin around in circles for no reason and sing.  Put articles of clothing around your neck.  Squat down and smack your hands on the ground and make the cutest facial expressions and sounds.  I can't help but giggle.

  

You love to hold hands when we are out.  Its the sweetest thing when you reach for my hand to walk. You melt my heart!

You love giving hugs.  I will sit down on the ground with my arms open wide, you will run to me and give the biggest hug you can possibly give.  Be still my heart!!!

You still nap on me, but I am completely fine with the cuddles.  These moments won't last forever.

I thank the good Lord every single day for blessing us with you.  You are so amazing and I just love watching you every second of the day. You are so incredibly loved my sweet angel!  Thank you for being you!
