15 Months of Sunshine

Addison is a little over 15 months, and I cannot believe how quickly she is growing! She had her 15 month well check on Friday, and she is 30 1/2" tall and weighs 21 lbs, 12 oz. Although she is somewhat of a shrimp, she appears to be very healthy. She is truly our little sunshine. She continues to have the sweetest disposition and the best personality.

She is the busiest little girl these days. She pretty much runs everywhere she goes. Her FAVORITE thing in the whole world is our dog Molly (aka "Momo"). She loves to chase "Momo" around the house with dog toys. She also loves to splash in Momo's water bowl and throw all of her dog food out of the food bowl onto the floor and feed it to her piece by piece. If only "Momo" felt the love, too... Molly tolerates her, but I definitely don't think she feels the love!


She continues to add new words to her vocabulary each week. She now says Momo (of course), mama, dada, night night, uh oh, bye bye, bay bay (baby). She also has a few words that she says in her own special language. Although I can't fully understand everything she tries to say, I can usually figure it out before she has an official meltdown. Luckily, meltdowns don't happen very often around here.

She loves books. Sometimes, she will sit and "read" her books in the floor by herself. Other times, she will bring a handful of books to us and crawl up in our laps for us to read the books to her. It is the sweetest thing.
Until last week, she was a fantastic eater. She ate just about anything we put in front of her. Her favorites were pancakes, raviolis, green peas, peaches, pears, mangos and yogurt. For some reason, she is on strike this week and is not eating very much. She turns her nose up at all of her old favorites. She's been a little congested so I am hoping that she just doesn't really feel like eating because of the congestion. Here she is eating some spaghetti-os all by herself for the first time.She is such a girlie girl. She loves my purses and shoes. She also loves to accessorize. She prances around the house wearing her stacking rings as bracelets. She has also been known to wear the rings as anklets, too. She is something else! She loves to "undo" anything and everything. The pictures below tell the story of what goes on around our house all day long. In fact, as I am typing this post, she is in the floor pulling every tissue out of the tissue box. (But she is having so much fun)! When I pick things up, she tears them back out. As soon as I put the folded laundry in the basket, she takes it out and slings it over her shoulder onto the bed or floor. If I put her toys away, she promptly drags them back out. It is a never ending cycle! On a few occasions, she has attempted to help me clean up, but that doesn't always go the way she (or I) have planned. Although it can be frustrating at times, I enjoy watching her new discoveries. Happy 15 months, sweet baby girl. You are truly our little sunshine. You bring more to joy to our lives than you will ever know.
