-Letters to Liv- {15 months}

15 months?! How? How are you 15 months old?? I have spent the majority of my nights lately looking through old pictures and videos on my phone of you. Watching you develop and grow throw them all over again. Time goes by so so fast and even though I felt like I soaked up every minute when you were little, it's so easy to forget the little things. You are the most independent little thing. You don't want anything done for you, you have to do it yourself. We're already semi- hitting those toddler twos. You are so smart and beautiful, my love. I still can't believe that God chose us to have you. You have the sweetest little soul. When we pick you up you hug us so tight and pat our backs. You have become SO obsessed with your daddy. You always want him around and you cry so hard when he leaves you. He loves that so much! I have watched y'alls relationship grow into something that will never be broken. The way he looks at you with so much joy and protection melts me every time. You are literally running everywhere and jabbering all the time! You have around ten consistent words right now and you understand wayyyy more than what you can say. You have the intonation down for "what's that? and there it is!" You still eat pretty well. You don't eat near as many veggies as you did when you were younger but, you wipe us out of fruit. And don't let you see a french fry. You would snack all day long if I would let you. Just like your mama.We recently took your pacifier away. We had been trying to only give it to you at nap and night times, but you knew it was still around during the day and if you saw it you were wanting it. So after school on Tuesday I decided to just snip the nipple off of it. You freaked out for a solid hour because it hurt your feelings so bad. You moved it all around your mouth trying to figure out a way to suck it and finally just gave up and threw it. You went to sleep easy that night, but had a fussy next day at school. Other than that you have surprisingly done really well without it. You can identify nose, eyes, mouth, ears, and feet on yourself and on us. You still love books more than anything and your newest thing is giving us a surprised look with your mouth open so wide when you see new things. We put our Christmas tree and decorations up the day after Thanksgiving you LOVE it all. When you woke up from your nap that day you were so excited to see the tree. Now, everyday when we get home from school you go around helping me plug all the Christmas lights in. This Christmas is going to be so fun. I can't wait to start our own little traditions. Love, Mama. **Word list** dog cat mama dada ew! eye eat shoe hot what's that? there it is!
