15 months

Yay for Sophia!
15 months- I swear she is just getting more and more personalty and just more and more fun.
Here are a few of my favorite things:
1) talk, talk, talk: here's all the words she says- it's crazy. Puppy (for obvious reasons- and for basically anything furry), hi, bye, daddy, mommy, balloon, peek-a-boo, baby, train (actually says choo-choo), uh-oh (I don't know why but she says this all the time?!), tickle, and diaper and banana (but both in Chinese). I can hardly keep up with this girl!
2) let me show you: she loves to point at everything now to show you what she wants. It's more like a point and grunt- cavemanish thing. Super cute. But she's also getting to learn her body parts- she can point to her ears, nose, head, feet, and tummy.
3) Tickle-monster: she loves to tickle anyone and anything. She grabs your foot and says tickle-tickle-tickle. And if no one is around? Why she'll just tickle her own feet! And laugh and laugh. She knows she is so funny.
4) Blowing in the... Kleenex. We all had the flu a few weeks ago and she saw us always blowing our noses. She picked up on it, and started taking the Kleenex and making a blow noise. It's not an effective tool at getting snot out, but it sure is cute. She does wipe her nose though. She also learned to blow on her food, albeit not super effectively.
5)Climbing: she loves to climb on and over stuff. Up on couches, slides, you name it. She hasn't mastered walking on her own yet, but she definitely gets around. You can tell she really is trying when she sees the other kids walking around. All in due time- I am in no rush to have a running child :)
6) Little chef: she always hated when I'd have to kind of ignore her and make dinner. So I let her stand on a chair next to me in the kitchen while I cooked (don't worry she was safe the whole time!) and watch and she had a blast! She played with the food and bowls and especially the sudsy water. It was the least amount of crying ever during dinner time- future foodie? I think so.
So there's the fun stuff- and now here's the fun pictures!
(oh, and excuse some of the blurriness, she's already too fast for me!)

loves playing on the keyboard

Things to notice:
- the crazy hair
- the elvis lips (huh? camera?)
- the horrible mess she made :)

Only good still pictures I could get while she drank her carrot juice

 

Best mommies helper ever! I don't know how people don't have a dog to clean up after their kids- seriously. She picks up all the far-flung foods. Best. dog. ever.

It takes skill to drink juice one handed

Wait! Come back puppy!

 

I love how crazy her hair looks here- she's so fun!

Here's a video of some of her cool baby tricks!
