FIFTEEN

I keep calling you my baby but you are definitely a toddler now. We visited home late August, early September and I swear every time we visit Iowa you have a major growth spurt. You really started walking once we were home. I love, love watching you walk all over the place. It is so exciting for you and it makes you so happy to be standing tall and chasing after all the big kids. You definitely keep this mama busy and on her toes. You are constantly chattering and have learned so many new words! You are a big Mickey Mouse fan and love saying, "oh toodles". We are working on using the word please but pretty much have the hang of thank you. You have so many teeth now! 4 on the front and bottom and you have a couple of teeth coming in toward the back of your mouth now. You are still sleeping through the night and usually take a nice long nap during the day. You love technology and you are so curious by it. I swear you don't even bother playing with your toys much anymore. You are always after cell phones, the laptop and all the remotes and you always get super upset when we take them away. You also get super upset anytime the door is opened and you don't get an opportunity to go outside. You love heading into the kitchen to open up all the cupboards so you can pull everything out. Usually there is spatulas, skillets & plastic cups all over my kitchen floor. You love food! Right now you are really into cheese and crackers and love your fruit and eggs for breakfast. You still hate the vacuum so I usually save that for nap times.

I am absolutely loving this age! It's so fun to watch you wonder around and explore.
