15 months!!

Hi There! I have a bunch of pictures and a few updates to share. Since we talked last, I've had a lot going on. 
  • I've been growing--even some hair!--and running and listening. 
  • I listen to directions now and will usually do what I'm told :) 
  • I still love to read, listen to music, and dance. 
  • I have learned some sign language at school and can ask for more and say when I'm finished. 
  • I make a "woof woof" sound when I see doggies. 
  • I can say please, but it sounds more like "puf". 
  • I love "nose kisses" (learned that phrase from my cousin Nina). 
  • I want to do what I want, when I want. I am very strong willed :) I love to play outside and run around. 
  • I must have something in each of my hands at all times. If I'm eating a chicken strip or puff or anything, I must have one in each hand. I am learning how to throw things when I'm outside. 
  • I love to color and got a table and chairs yesterday so I have a dedicated spot where I can play. 
  • When I drink anything, I do not want a lid on my cup. I'm a big girl now and just want a cup to drink like the adults--and I do a really great job! 
  • I love carbs and sweets. Some might say I am definitely my mother's daughter!! 
  • I love to wear shoes and socks. I am trying to figure out how to get them on by myself, but am not quite there. 
  • I love being in the bathtub and like to lay on my back and my belly, but when I lay on my belly I drink the water and Mommy gets mad at me...
  • I still do not sit still. I just have a ton of energy, but I do sit still at school when we're having lessons.  

We celebrated my Grandma Carol's 70th birthday in mid October. It was so much fun. All of my family came in town to celebrate so I got to see my Aunts and Uncle from Seattle, my Great Aunt and Great Uncle from Ohio, and my Cousins from Houston. We had such a great weekend celebrating my Grandma and spending time with my family. 




















Oh my how I love the vacuum. When Daddy turns it on, I get very excited and want to be in on the action!







When I was staying at my Grammies one weekend, I had my little ATV and we went riding outside. I had to wear my helmet to ride outside (I usually ride inside!!) and when we were finished, I did not want to take my helmet off which was probably good because my Grammies have a sharp edge on their fireplace that my Mommy is afraid I'll fall on!


 My Mommy was out of town for work in early October and Grandma and Connor came over to eat with me and Daddy. As you can see, I want to feed myself and I make a massive mess!


 Grammy is a huge Redskins fan and Daddy does not appreciate her "dressing" me up as a fan either.
