I can't believe how quickly time flies. You're a month shy of a year and a half and looking SO big! We were a little behind on your 15 month shots and check up because you had been sick on and off for a solid month. When we finally got to go, you weighed 29 lbs. and was 34 and 3/4 inches tall. Once again off the charts in height. Your doctor says there's absolutely no way you are going to be short. You took your shots like a champ as usual and barely cried. You started staying with your Nana again about 3 weeks ago and don't go to Preschool anymore. At least not for right now. I went back to working 3 days a week and I feel like we're all a lot more balanced again.
You have been so into your baby dolls lately. You've always loved them but you are definitely into them more now. Every time you hear or see a baby on tv you are always pointing and saying "baby!" You've started playing peek-a-boo with them. You will put their little blankets on them and try to say "where's baby?" and then you'll pull it off and say "boo!" It's one of your favorite games right now. Then you carry them around all day, rocking them and kissing them on the head. It's seriously the cutest thing. Your hair is pretty wild right now but is finally long enough to put into a little ponytail with a bow. You love to watch me put them in and once it's done you will gently touch it and say "aww bow." Recently you have also been very adamant about praying before we eat and before you go to sleep. You will put your little hands together and bow your head to remind us to pray. It blows my mind how quickly you catch on to things. You've started trying to say "amen" but can't just yet. It's the sweetest and my most favorite thing you do right now. You love to color and play with your sticker book and you are still so obsessed with opening and closing anything with a lid. I think you could play with a water bottle and tupperware all day long and not get tired of it. You are loving your little red rain boots you got for Christmas. You like to wear them to walk out and check the mail and then you don't want to take them off. You love to play in the floor with your daddy. You are going to be one tough little girl because you two wrestle all the time. You still love to dance and have developed some new and pretty good dance moves. It's so funny watching you.
You are trying to cut some more teeth so that hasn't been real fun and you absolutely HATE brushing your teeth. We basically have to hold you down to get them brushed and you throw a fit. You have started semi-liking juice but you can put down some orange juice, girl. You haven't been eating as well lately but you've definitely become a fan of Wendy's chicken nuggets. I hate feeding you fast food but sometimes having a daddy as a coach that's what happens. You love Wendy's and Chick-fil-a. Your favorite snacks right now are the Annie's fruit bunnies and popcorn. You would drink anything if it was in a cup with a straw and not like your sippy cups, like a real cup. You love to pour water into your little pots and pans and act like you're cooking something which usually results in a big mess. You do know to go get a towel and clean it up if you spill something though. Your word list has grown a little bit since last month. Your new words include; bow, woof, horse, chicken, wa-wa, juice, drink, night-night, bubble, "ba" for barney, and "bi" for bison. I know, bison is so random but we went to a Harding game the other night and you were pointing at every bison silhouette and saying "bi". It was sentimental seeing you on momma and daddy's old stomping grounds. I would secretly love to see you there one day but I think daddy has other plans. WE love you so so much little bug and we're so blessed to be your parents. I can't wait to continue watching you grow.
Love, Mama
