Guess Who Started Walking...

Just like I predicted, Alice Anne was right on the same track as her big sister. She got out of the bathtub Thursday night and took off walking into the other room. She woke up Friday and forgot that she could walk, but Saturday she took off again. She's pretty proud of herself and has the biggest grin on her face when she's walking!


Now Hannah has a built-in "Ring Around A Rosie" partner! They love doing this together and it always ends in them tackling each other and laughing hysterically!!

It starts so innocent...

And ends up like this...

then like this...

then full blown wrestling...

We went for Alice Anne's 15 month check-up this morning. She's a healthy little baby and is perfect in every way! Here are her stats: 27 lbs. 14 oz (above 95%); 33.5" long (above 95%) and 18.5" head circumference (80%). He's not concerned one single bit about how big she is. He said she's right in line with her height. He said she's as tall as the average 24 month old!!!

She's still a fabulous sleeper! 12-13 hours at night and two 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps every day. She only has 8 teeth (4 on top and 4 on bottom) but I think her bottom molars are about to cut through. She loves to eat and loves her milk! She's still my baby and wants to be cradled when she drinks her milk, which I am happy to do :) She loves her paci but we try to limit it to the bed and long car rides (unless she's having a rough day or some teeth that are cutting through). She has a pink bunny blankie that she loves and she will not go to sleep without it!!

She's a good talker, but like I've said before, will only talk when she wants to. Some of her words include: wago (wagon), ca (car), bubube (blueberry), bow (when she pulls her bow out, she hands it to me and says, "hee bow" or here bow), bebe (baby), nana (Hannah and banana), fffiii (fish), ho (hot), brrrr (cold), caca (cracker), cookie, apple, awa (water), wawa (Wally and water), babo (bravo), yeah (her favorite thing to say when she claps), pee boo (peek-a-boo), tee tee (what she says when she sees Hannah using the bathroom), shooo (shoe), fffff (flower), lee (leaf), sky, tee (tree), bir (bird), uh oh (her favorite saying now that she's walking and falls a lot), open, co (close), ni ni (night, night), dada wo (daddy's at work), ba ba ba (bath), no no no no no (what she says when it's time to get her diaper changed; ba (ball), emo (elmo), papi (paci), Gigi, Papa, and I'm sure there are more that I'm missing! She's so funny...half of the time when she talks, she whispers. Don't know what that's all about, but it's funny!

She still adores Hannah and they play together so well!! She gets so excited when we drop Hannah off at school because she knows it's her time with mommy, but she gets even more excited when we go pick Hannah up...she's ready to have her playmate back.

She's the best eater!! She loves fruit and beans and some vegetables. Bath time is her favorite time of the day. She has started really throwing a fit when it's time to get out, but all I have to do is show her her toothbrush and she's ok. She doesn't like for me to brush her teeth, but she loves sucking and chewing on her toothbrush. It's a battle brushing her teeth, but luckily I don't have many to brush.

She's definitely the sweetest little 15 month old that there is and we couldn't ask for anymore from her!! We love you sweet little Alice Anne...more than you'll ever know!!!
