15 months

Our baby girl turned 15 months this weekend.  She is growing so fast and is such a happy little thing.  Here's the latest:

• She started walking two weeks ago.  Every day she is getting more brave and trying harder to walk.
• She is talking so much.  She says mom, dad, hi, eyes, head, ears, mouth, there it is, water, and baby.
• She can make tons of animal sounds.  
• She snaps her fingers, claps, and dances.  
• She loves her dog Fitz.  
• She loves all things dairy, especially cheese.  She loves bananas and peanut butter too.  
• She has 10 teeth, weighs only 18 pounds and is 30 1/2 inches.  The doctors are a bit concerned with her weight and have been having us do all the tests (blood work, sweat test and urine analysis) but so far everything has come back normal.  We'll be doing an ultra sound and more blood work next week.  
• She loves love LOVES her cousin Addi!  She loves her grandma's and grandpa's and aunts and uncles.  We got to spend some time with the Palmer cousins in October and she LOVED hanging out with all her cousins.
• She loves to climb in the pillows on our bed but only once the bed is made up.  She climbs in them and whispers "hide, hide, hide".
• She wakes me up by saying "mom" over and over in the morning.  If I don't get her fast enough she starts yelling for dad.  
• She loves fur.  She will pick at and bite anything that is furry.  Her stuffed animals are her favorite.
• She is such a good helper.  She will help put her books away, clean up her toys and through stuff in the trash.  Luckily she hasn't learned to throw things away that shouldn't be yet.  
• She leads the music.  At first it started a few weeks ago in church but now whenever there is any music she will start to lead it.
