fifteen months old today!

So what's she like at fifteen months?

She loves to be chased. She taunts and teases us until one of us gives in and starts chasing her. She's fairly easy to catch because she laughs and looks back so much that she can't get far running from us.

She climbs on EVERYTHING. I find her standing on the activity table, the kitchen chairs, the kitchen table, the train table, etc, etc.

Indoors, she likes jumping on the trampoline, riding her fire engine, pushing her wagon around, or cuddling with her stuffed cats.

Outdoors, she enjoys playing on the playground, riding the four-wheeler with Aiden, playing ball with Aiden, and climbing on just about anything.

She's a lot less interested in eating these days. As a matter of fact, Aiden is now a better eater than Sky (I never thought this would happen). Her favorite foods these days are fruit (especially pairs) and rice.

She's in the spitting stage where she she spits out 50% of what goes in her mouth. She is very cautious about what she eats. If she's not sure what she's eating she tastes it, spits it out and then eats it again if she liked the taste.

Recently, she's been getting a little jealous of her brother. If she feels she's not getting enough attention she screams and physically grabs me to get my attention. If it's Aiden's attention she wants she does the same thing to him. Luckily, Aiden has grown to be a very patient and understanding big brother.

She is as much of a Mommy's girl as she is Daddy's girl. She loves lounging on my lap for about fifteen minutes after she wakes up from a nap. In the morning she cuddles with Adam for about half an hour before she's up and running for the day.

Her hair is getting lighter and longer. Her eyes are still Sky blue. She has slimmed down quite a bit and grown taller.

She sleeps really well through the night. When I put her down for a nap or the night she immediately lays down and waits for me to put the blanket on her. She sleeps with her little buns up and knees under her belly.

She still pinches and scratches us a lot. We're all looking forward to her growing out of this painful habit.

She's very bright. She can open doors, cabinets, and drawers. She plays with her "doctor set" and uses the tools exactly as they are intended. She she listens to her own chest with her stethoscope, she gives me shots, she looks in my ears and my mouth.

If she sees someone getting ready to go outside (like someone putting on their shoes) she quickly runs and gets her shoes and pleads to go outside with them. If that doesn't work, she sits at the door until someone gives in and takes her outside.

She enjoys sitting on the couch and reading books. If I'm to busy to read to her she looks at the pictures on her own.

She loves animals of all shapes and sizes. She tries to kiss our cats, the neighbors' dogs, squirls, birds, etc, etc. She now has two stuffed cats that she carries around the house. She loves her glow turtle (pictured above) that we keep on our deck.
