Caitlin is crazy... growing like crazy, acting crazy, being loved like crazy. Here's her little update of cool new tricks:
-she
is a climber! Anything and everything she can climb on, she does. She
can now go up and down stairs but still needs a little help going down
because she likes to think she can so face first. She knows how to climb
up onto chairs and the table and can somtimes get up to the couch.
-She
is a talker! She has a tiny repertoire of words/sounds that she will
do, mixed with plenty of jabbering. Her best ones are: "moo" (cow) and
"raar" (lion), "ha" (hi), "ma" (more), "mama", "dada", and "baba" (sippy
cup). New ones she is adding to the mix are: "moow" (cat), "oof off"
(dog), "papa" (my dad), "wassat" (what's that.. pointing to things),
"sheesus" (jesus) and other random little surprises. She has such a cute
little voice but even when she's not using it she will make herself
known. She will pull you over to whatever she wants and point like
crazy.
-She signs the word "more" which i actually taught her was
please (but it's kinda the same). As mentioned, she says "MA" for more
and sometimes gets very demanding with it and she yells at people to get
more. Not polite. So i tried to teach her the sign so she wouldn't yell
as much. She caught on pretty fast and now does the sign for "more
please" when she wants more. Sometimes she still yells for it.
-Whenever
she wants to sit somewhere she comes and pats the seat. If it's the
couch, she likes to throw all the pillows off first and then pat so she
has plenty of room to sit.
-She knows who Santa is, at least in
pictures and decorations and whenever she sees Santa (or Christmas
things) she says "ho ho ho"
-She is obsessed with candies. Any
kind really. She loves suckers and chocolate. We have a big jar full or
holiday M&M's on our kitchen table and she wants them all day
everyday. She is always dragging me over and wanting me to get some out.
It's been the cause of quite a few tears when the answer is no.
-She can find her nose, eyes, mouth and ears (most of the time it's the right part, not always) but always her belly button!
-She
loves lotion. She finds it in my bathroom and always wants to put it
on. She just likes getting it on her hands and rubbing a little then
she's back for more.
-She's obsessed with waving right now. She's
been waving for a long time but now she wants to wave and everything
and everyone and especially waving bye bye. Every morning when she seats
in her chair to eat breakfast she waves hello to our little Santa
decoration, and every time we put her down for a nap or bedtime she
waves bye bye to us when she's laying down. It's really cute. The other
night we went in to check on her before we went to bed and she stirred a
little and opened her eyes and saw us so we tried to sneak out and she
just started waving bye to us. It made me teary-eyed it was so cute and
sweet.
-She loves babies, she likes to wait at them and touch
them very softly and timidly when she is allowed. She loves to look at
them and gets excited whenever we see one. She also loves any kids in
general and she also loves to play with her baby dolls. She's going to
be a good big sister.
- Her 15 month stats were:
weight: 23.11 lbs. (64%)
height: 31 inches (67%)
head: 18 cm (96%) ...full of brains i tell ya
