15 Months

Isabella is 15 months old today!  She's at a really fun age.  Often time she will come p to me out of nowhere just to give me a hug or a kiss.  Melts my heart!  Of course, the tantrums are also beginning but the free hugs and kisses are worth it. 

Her communication skills and understanding are definitely improving.  She's learning new words and sounds and showing us that she really understands what we're saying.  Just today she heard Audrey bark and said "woof, woof."  Smart girl.

Right now her favorite game is what we like to call "Scary Monster Peek-a-boo."  We hide our face with our hands and then she pulls our hands away and we growl or roar at her.  She thinks it is hysterical.  She keeps putting our hand over our face so we'll do it again! 

Here are the new things for this month that come to mind:

-Now says "dat" as in "I want that!"

-Says "mow" when we ask her what a cat says.  She also says "mow" if we ask her what Bianca or Brenna says and "woof woof" if we ask her what Audrey says.

-Says "baa" for bath

-She goes to her bedroom door when we ask if she needs are diaper changed or tell her it's time for night-night.  She'll go to the bathroom door if we ask her to go potty or take a bath.  She runs to the front door if we tell her we're going bye-bye, or if she sees me with my purse. 

-Often gets a snack before bedtime. 

-Outgrowing 12-months clothing and is firmly in a size 4 shoe.

-Learning to blow her nose.

-Loves dropping items over the baby gate or pushing them through the cat door.

-Has both peed and pooped on the potty.

And of course, here are a few pictures of the past month.

I'm pretty sure she'll want to kill me for this one day.
