Fifteen Months Old


Today Madeline turned 15 months old! She is so full of personality these days. Her latest obsession is accessories, she finds one and MUST wear it. Her favorites are purses, shoes, and hats. She still loves her babies, and got to enjoy a real baby this week while we watch Hazel's little brother, baby Jack for a few days.

I have been lacking on the blog due to having to chase a toddler around and we haven't fixed my computer yet, it is difficult to do much more than read email on it. Due to the broken computer screen I haven't been able to upload any pictures to my computer, so there are no new ones. I decided that her monthly chair pictures up through her first birthday were enough and let go of the guilt of forgetting to do it every month now.

On a happier note....


15 months finds Maddy:
  • with 7 teeth, working on # 8 and 9
  • size 12-24 month clothes (just pulled out all the 18-24 month clothes I had stored away)
  • outgrowing her size 5 shoes
  • says the words: mama, mom, dada, dad, cat (her favorite), baba (for baby), fish, ball, woof, meow, I or eye
  • She doesn't mind riding in a stroller anymore, which has helped with my new efforts to exercise more
  • Rode her first pony at Griffith Park on an outing with her cousin Bella
  • Has decided to now suck on a pacifier (I think this goes along with her accessory obsession)
  • She still nurses and sleeps with us, there were a couple failed attempts at sleep training, but it hasn't felt right for us, so never lasted more than 15 minutes
  • She discovered how to bite (hopefully this is ending, and only teething related)
  • She gives hugs and kisses
  • Understands and follows simple instructions (bring me your shoe, sit down, etc.)
We love you Madeline Mae, this month we keep finding ourselves marvel at all you can do, and what a big girl you are becoming. We love your new independence, but miss our little baby.

Love,
Mama & Dada
