She goes to the Dr. tomorrow for her 15 month check up, I'll post stats as soon as I have them.
(to those of you with babies, did you do the MMR vaccine? Just curious what you think)
Things are going great, she is perfecting her walk and starting to speed up. She puts one arm back and swings it as she goes, it is hilarious. She is trying stairs, eating sand at the park, loves to swing, and is talking up a storm. She has 60+ words she can say on her own and tries to mimic anything you ask her, which is also funny, especially the long words like "refrigerator". She doesn't have any phrases really yet but it won't be long I don't think.
My favorite word right now is "Dude".
Almost half of her words being with "B" and she doesn't have any "S" words. Oddly enough though she says "Bapple" for "apple" but drops the "b" on "Banana" and just says "nana". She finally started saying "Grandma" which comes out "Mam Moe", I hope that doesn't change, it is too darned cute. With her "o" sound her little lips form this cute circle and I can't help but smile. It reminds me of when she was a tiny baby and she would make "O's" with her lips.
Her favorite thing right now is to try and say "Silly Goose" which is what we call her when she is being silly. She signs "silly" and you can barely hear her trying the 's' sound, then she mimics the intonation too. We say the "Silly" long and high and then hit the "goose" part hard and fast. She does the same thing with the signing, it is really funny when she does the goose part. I wish I was better at the video stuff, but you'll have to take my word for it I guess!
She loves to hide and then jump out and say "Boo". She kisses and says "Bye" to the "Baby" in the mirror and it is adorable. (if you enjoy cleaning mirrors of course)
My favorite signs have to be "Sorry", "Thank You" (She says this too, comes out 'tane too'), and "Hurt". There is something cool about a baby being able to tell you her teeth hurt, but not so cool when they tell you "hurt" and then point to their chest and you have no idea what that means or how to help! I love it when she says thank you after you give her something without being prompted. The sorry one gets me sometimes too because she'll do something she isn't supposed to (like bite mommy - one of her several "we are working on it moments") and then immediately sign "Sorry" and say "Ow" out loud!
She is fascinated with butterflies right now. She gets so excited when she sees them on tv, a shirt, a book, wherever. She signs it constantly and wants to see them everywhere. Rick found a music video channel where the logo is a butterfly that appears and then flies away. She is addicted to it. I think we must have watched the Barney "Pandora's Box" episode when the butterfly comes out of the box over 100 times now. Thank goodness for DVR!
I can't believe I just "blogged" something about Barney! I so used to hate him. I guess I am learning to love things because she loves them. For instance, I don't mind monkeys so much anymore. They used to kinda give me the creeps like clowns do to a lot of people, but after watching her sign "Monkey" by grabbing her butt and squeaking every time she saw a picture of a monkey, (instead of hands in armpits) who could not like monkeys? I even bought her some jammy jams (AKA Pajamas) with cute little girl monkeys on them. Rick said he was proud of me and that I was being a grown up by not putting my fears/dislikes on her like he does when he forces himself to feed her anything green! I didn't tell him they were on the 80% off clearance rack!
