{Happy 15 Months!!!}

It's been three long months since this little girl turned 1 and my how things have changed!

Huge development #1 - she sleeps through the night every night and has done so for the last 2.5 months. It's glorious!

Huge development #2 - she's walking all over this world. She's so mobile and is so happy about it, as am I!

She sleeps for about 11-12 hours at night - less if big sister, the early riser, decides she wants some company. She naps twice during the day usually. Big morning nap (2.5 hrs), and an afternoon nap (1.5-2 hrs). She has her "Mr. Lamb-y" that she loves to sleep with. so many cuddles for that little guy.

She's in size 12 months clothes, 3 shoe, and 3 diaper. She has a million and a half teeth. Not really, but at least 10 or so including a couple molars. Her checkup isn't until 18 months so I have no idea what she weighs, but she's still a pretty petite thing.

No pacifier during the day, only during naps and bedtime and at church as a last resort - I mean c'mon! Church is 3 hours long and right in the middle of her afternoon nap, so you gotta do what you gotta do.

She loves to eat. She eats everything we do. Not a fan of avocado still, unless you disguise it as guacamole and smother a chip with it. She loves chips. She likes eggs. She loves jam. Always more jam. She loves milk and insists on having milk on her cereal in the morning and frequently tries to pour milk onto whatever else she is eating. 

She uses "Mamama" and "Dadada" consistently now, but that's it for now as far as intelligible words. There is a lot of babbling going on, though. Also, a cute little twisty wave with happy squeals for hello. Melts my heart.

She is still a snuggler and lover and cuddler. Loves hugs and kisses and head bonks. Yup, head bonks. 

She loves her hair. She loves to play with it and to brush it. She thinks she likes ponytails, but takes those out occasionally. She likes to have me put in hair clips so she can pull them out and chew on them.

She likes to eat chalk. and crayons.

  

She's a social butterfly and loves to flit around from person to person to get smiles and laughs.

She loves to wear jackets. Loves them. Sometimes she goes and bangs on the closet until we put a jacket on her. She also loves shoes.

Evette and Miriam are great playmates now! Everyday their learning how to better play and engage with one another - which is really happy. They're the best of friends.
