15 Months and practically a child!

I’m seeing less and less baby each day! I can completely understand why some mothers say things like, “you’ll always be my baby”, etc. etc. when their child is like 20 years old. Lilli will for sure always be my baby. Every second I have with her is such a gift. She is so pleasant to be around, unlike her newborn months!

She’s doing amazing things every day. I just can’t believe how fast she’s learning!

-About 23lbs. don’t know how tall
-goes to bed around 8ish and I wake her up at 6:45am because we’re out of the house by 7:00am
-she takes one nap, usually 2 hours long
-she’s eating most things these days, but can have her picky moments and as soon as she gets old enough to reason with I’m going to end this picky-ness!
-Knows many baby signs: more, daddy, please, ball, baby, bath, milk, eat, drink, stories, and all done
-She says new words everyday: today she said “diaper” for the first time.
-She has said these words more than once: momma, dada, hi, all done, Ben and Sam (cousins), apple, outside, inside, dog, cat, thank you, no, shoes, home
-If you ask her where something is she’ll go get it. For example, tonight I was looking for her sippy cup and I said, “where is your milk?” and she found it for me and this was after I already spent 5 minutes looking for it!
-She loves to answer questions by shaking her head “no”
-She just recently started answering questions by shaking her head “yes”
-She loves waving goodbye and hi, to everyone including strangers at w@lmart.
-She’s definitely her mother’s daughter….we can’t walk down a shoe isle without her whining and frantically pointing in every direction for the shoes
-She is slightly obsessed with Vega and Widget (our cats) She loves hugging them, patting them, squeezing them, kissing them.
-She also loves Chili-dog, whose tail whacks the crap out of her multiple times per day. She doesn’t even act like it phases her anymore, she just flinches and takes it.
-She could spend all day every day outside in the yard.  I kinda wish we had more fun things around here that were toddler friendly for her
-Yesterday when we got to the gym I let her walk all the way in to the gym from the parking lot (holding hands of course!). I know this doesn’t sound like a big deal, but I wanted to cry because she was such a big girl. She loved it! She’s such a little independent woman!

I know I’m forgetting things, so I’ll probably have to come back and update this again when I think of them!
