15 months

Baby girl, this past month has been an exciting one.  You are definitely a walker now.  You mostly walk on your feet and are getting faster and faster.  You haven't given up knee walking, but are doing it much less and doing real walking much more.

You love to dance every time you hear music and you will give me the stereo remote when you want me to turn it on.  You know how to turn it off, but not on.

Your favorite things to do are read books and play with your baby dolls.  You are so sweet with your babies.  You wrap them in your blankies, carry them around, rock them, pat them, give them bottles and put them in the stroller.  I love watching you play.

You have had a language explosion!  You mostly have just 3 signs now, which are "milk" "water" and "all done".  Sometimes you will sign "more" and "eat/food", but rarely.  You really need to learn more signs because you use those 3 main signs for lots of different things and that makes it difficult to figure out what you really want.

You are saying so many more words.  You can say "hi" "no" and you say "guau guau" for dog which is apparently what dogs say in spanish, pronounced "wow wow".  Daddy said you also say "hola".  You say your cousin Josh's name and your cousin Avery.  You also say a word for your cousin Caitlyn, but I don't know what it is.  And I'm pretty sure I've heard you say "this" "ice" and "eat".  That's a lot of words for a little girl!  And of course you still love to carry on long conversations in jibberish. =)

Your favorite song is the itsy bitsy spider and you try to do the hand gestures.  Oh and you say "down" for "down comes the rain".  It is so cute.

You also love to lift up your shirt for mommy to beep your belly button, but you usually say "bop" instead of "beep".  And you like to find mommy's belly button.

You absolutely love to be naked and go wild whenever we let you run around with no clothes on.   It's a little hazardous right now since you are a long way off from potty training, but we still risk it every once in awhile because you have so much fun.

I love you so much and it is amazing to watch you and your personality grow everyday.

Having fun with your kitty.
