15 months

Amelie is 15 months old today. Wow! She's getting so big and soaking EVERYTHING in. We are amazed how much she is learning every day. She is an awesome communicator… she tells us when she's hungry (which is pretty much all the time), when she wants to go night-night, when she wants milk, etc. She LOVES to dance!! This is her gettin' down to her favorite video:

 

I'm pretty sure she got her dance moves from her:

Here are some of her recent milestones: (i'm recording all this mostly for my memory, so bare with me)


• walking and running
• "jumping"
• talking A LOT
• signing and communicating really well
• eating A LOT (pretty sure she's a bored eater)
• sleeping for 11-12 hours a night and still taking 2 naps during the day
• 2 teeth on top, 4 on the bottom and 1 starting to poke through toward the back (not sure if it's a molar)
• "reading" lots of books (she constantly wants to read!)
