15 months!

Gianna turned 15 months this past Friday, August 31.  I can't believe all that she is doing now and how fast she's growing up.  Here's a recap of somethings I want to remember from these past couple months:

Still only has 2 teeth, but the top ones are close!

Still loves fruit and carbs... just like her mama.

Started walking (14 1/2 months)

Weaned off the bottle

Now only takes the paci at nap/night time (14 months)

Started saying "Mama" clearly, as well as "ball, bye-bye, bow" and sometimes "thank you"

Loves dancing to music!

Can make the sound of a monkey and cow

Knows where her nose, tongue and hair are.  She also pats her head when you ask her where her bow is.

Poses for the camera

Gives hugs sporadically and when asked

Spends all day away from me

Can show me where the "blue ball" is

Is learning to be "easy" (gentle), but doesn't quite get it yet.

This is a great age!  She gives lots of hugs, walks around, still cries sometimes when I leave the room (depends on her mood), and loves big kids.  She waves at everyone in the grocery store and says, "hi!"  She's very attatched to me, especially since I started working, but also loves being with and playing with Bobby.  She is starting to realize that the TV exists, but doesn't watch it for more than a few seconds.  Gia doesn't love the car as much at this point.  She's good for about 15 minutes, and then gets antsy.

You're so much fun, Gia!  I've had to let go of your babyhood a lot in this stage, but I'm looking forward to watching you develop your personality as you become a toddler.  We love you!
