Janie is 15 months old today! Here are some highlights from this past month:
- She learned how to walk on her knees and walk backwards.
- She’s eating with a fork and trying to comb her hair.
- Eating is still fun for her and some of her new foods include: raw apple slices, cucumber, hummus, Japanese curry, steamed green beans, banana muffin, and key lime pie.
- Janie’s figured out how to put Duplos together and stacks large blocks now.
- She can also put the circle piece into the shape sorter.
- We started a nanny share with Mirian’s daughter and Janie’s loving it.
- Janie likes to laugh and babble to her herself. It’s so fun listening to her but sometimes it seems non-stop.
- She started saying “hi” and waving to people. She also says “uh oh” and “wow”.
- She understands “sit down” in English and Spanish.
- She makes a sound that I think is supposed to be “thank you” when you hand her something.
- She can identify her head and tummy pretty consistently and she’s starting to get her nose correctly. She was pointing to her mouth before.
- Janie figured out how to crawl under things without bumping her head.
- She also likes to stand with her hands behind her back or on her hips.
- She’s been pooping in the toilet more often than in her diaper.
- Janie played at the beach in Tahoe and has been enjoying the sandbox at the park.
- She’s really into pushing things around and walking up and down curbs or anything else with a level change.
- She’s finally able to hand me things when I ask for it.
- Janie’s also saying “Dada” more consistently. The other day she heard Daddy waking up and she walked over to the room and yelled “Dada!”
I also thought I’d include Senor Fatty Duck Duck in these photos. He’s getting carried around now! Little Janie’s come a long way, hasn’t she?!
She loves hugging him, using him as a step, sitting on him, and using him as a pillow. Who knew he’d be so versatile?!
It’s been a fun month and this little bundle of mischief is not slowing down anytime soon.
Happy 15 months, Little Lady!
