You have passed your 15 month birthday, and I must say, it was a good month. You didn't repeat the 14 month grisliness, so the household is grateful for that. This month, you have been one happy little baby. You like to play games -- especially when breastfeeding at night. You will kick my hair with your feet, or you will blow me kisses, or you'll cover my mouth with your foot and smile. All whilst nursing. It's quite entertaining, and I get quite a giggle out of it. You love walking, you'll do endless laps around the house, but there are two criteria. (1) You have to be carrying something and (2) You have to hold onto someone's finger. You won't quite walk on your own although you could. It's quite funny how you need to be lugging something around. Do we walk around with stuff all the time? Is that where you get this little idiosyncrasy?
You've discovered sand. It's always been fun, but this is different. You LOVE the sand. If we go to the beach, you will crawl around and dig your hands, and transfer it from one bucket to another, and kick it, kick it, kick it. Now, if you see sand on the sidewalk, you want to stop and play. This could be tricky since the whole city is one giant sand pit.
Daddy and you are back in swimming lessons, and you find that very entertaining. I have a self defense class during your lessons, so I’m unable to go, but Grandma takes lots of videos. You have the cutest bathers. And, the instructor even complimented you. Of course.
Your eyes are still blue as the ocean and you have lots and lots of thick long hair. I gave your fringe a haircut this week and now you look a little dorky, so I'm sorry. I'm sure there will be future tears when I try to cut your locks and get it very crooked and you end up getting a "bowl" haircut. This is hereditary, and I suppose a right of passage (for both mom and daughter).
I'm actually looking forward to you walking (I remind you often that your cousin that's WAY YOUNGER is walking but you don't seem to care one bit), as I think it will make you a little more independent. I think the dog will be annoyed as you'll be able to chase her quicker (Pasha can see you crawling from a mile away) but I’m usually a fan of anything that annoys my dog.
Happy 15 months girl. I think I may have mentioned this before, but I want a million little babies just like you! Don't tell my company that though.
Love you loads,
Mommy and Daddy
