15 months

My sweet little girl is 15 months old today. Last night she wasn't feeling too good and feel asleep in my arms while I was rocking her. It's been months since she's done that. I sure do love those mom moments.

Addison is such a fun and sweet little girl. Everyday she does something new that puts a smile on our face. Right now her favorite thing is 'ring around the rosey'. And she can't do it with just one of us. She actually walks over and grabs the hand of whoever isn't playing and makes us both participate. And then she has to do it at least 10 times before we can distract her with something else. We laugh the entire time.

I wanted to document a few of the things that Addison has learned. I love that we can interact with her more. It's so much fun to just sit back and watch and see what she will think of next.

Words she can say:
mama
dada
bye bye
hi
i la (I love you)
tay (thanks)
all done
apple
angel
airplane
alligator (and it almost sounds perfect)
ba na (banana)
mil (milk)
water
pwet zul (pretzel)
gen (again)
rock
tu (shoe)
more (and she knows how to say it in sign language also)
gawk (chalk)
color
noe (nose)
eye
duck
dog
tuh tul (turtle)
fog (frog)
tac tac (quack quack)
moo
woof woof
roar (very loudly)
baa
neigh
blows her lips for elephant sound
ssss (for a snake)
buzz

Things you will catch her doing:
- Points at pictures and picks out me, Michael and Andrew (Michael's nephew who was here recently).
- Can pick out most of the animals listed above from her animal books.
- Can point to her nose, eyes, mouth, ears, tummy and toes when you ask her to.
- Goes over to the sink in her play kitchen and will wash her hands.
- Uses a washcloth to "clean" things (carpet, refrigerator door, my leg).
- Loves to play 'ring around the rosey'.
- Waves hello and bye bye (says "bye bye dada" every morning when Michael leaves for work).
- Gives hi-fives.
- Brushes her hair.
- Eats with her fork (still needs a little help getting the food on there).
- Gives the biggest open mouth kisses (working on that).
- Loves to hug and kiss her stuffed animals. Has to have at least Marnie the Mouse in order to go to bed.
- Uses the watering can to water the flowers.

I had to change her appointment I had scheduled for today to the 31st so I don't have her stats like I thought I would. Here are some pics I took this morning. She put on Michael's hat all by herself and didn't want to take it off. And she insisted on holding my jacket in the car.
