At 15 months, Emma:
- weighs 21 lbs. 13oz. (35%) and is 31 1/4 inches tall (75%).
- "speaks" sentences with such facial expressions and conviction in her voice that I am convinced she knows exactly what she is trying to say even though it sounds like Mandarin.
- has not sprouted any new teeth. Is still rocking the 12 teeth smile :)
- naps twice a day.
- goes to bed at 6pm. it is still working with the earlier bedtime. although the past two weeks has been a little rough with the holidays. I am hoping she can go back to her regular schedule now that things have calmed down a bit.
- has moved up to size 4 diapers.
- will throw a fit if you try to take something away from her that she wants.
- has finally mastered walking! She started really going around on her 15 month birthday exactly - 12/6/12 even though she has been taking steps since 14 months.
- wears size 4 or 5 in shoes and most 18-24 months clothing.
- has quite a vocabulary built up. some things she says...
- mama
- dada
- brother
- hi (clear as day and usually with a great big smile)
- bye (clear as day and usually with a hand wave)
- hello
- nigh, nigh
- uh-oh
- no (her favorite word)
- understands simple phrases like "lets take a bath", "night, night time", "time to eat", "lets go bye, bye" and understands by going or doing whatever the action is.
- loves to go outside. she could play at the park for hours.
- picks up my iphone and says, "hi" like she is talking to someone.
- loves to look at pictures or videos of herself.
- will sit at daddy's lap and watch YouTube music videos for a long period of time.
- has a new favorite song - Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe"
- plays really well independently with her toys. she loves her little people Disney Princess castle from Christmas and her drum set.
- is obsessed with pushing things around. She loves to push her toy shopping cart, high chair and walker. She helps me push the shopping cart and stroller when we are out.
- does not like to be in said shopping cart or stroller now that she has discovered walking.
- has the biggest laugh when you say, "I'm gonna get you", by walking around the kitchen island and squealing as she looks over her shoulder.
- will go in the opposite direction of where we want her to walk. She turns right back around if you redirect her.
- makes the elephant sound every time she sees an elephant or if you say elephant.
- constantly walks around the house. she never stops.
- continues to go up and down the stairs. it makes it very hard to get anything done around the house.
- has learned to turn on the music and slide show photos on my iphone and ipad.
- got her ears pierced on 12/27/12 - she screamed for the first five minutes and has not been bothered since.
- loves to go around the house shutting all the doors. even if it means closing herself in a room.
- learned to open the trash can and will throw anything away that you give her.
- eats just as much if not more than her older brother.
- "reads" constantly at home, in the car, at the store or anywhere for that matter. we always have books on us.
- has transitioned from the soft top sippy cups to the hard tops ones. this makes momma happy. no more leaking cups of milk all over the kitchen floor.
- will grab or point to anything that has Disney Princesses on it. she loves them all!
- constantly puts her arms up or squeezes her hands together when she wants you to give her something.
- feeds herself with a spoon (although she misses her mouth 90% of the time).
- gives you a devilish smile and says"hi" when she wants her way.
