15 Months Old

Penny is 15 months old today.


Here are some highlights--

• Penny says baby and Mommy, yum yum, whispers Poppy, says Nana (for Nono) and appy, which we discovered is apple when she pointed to a picture in one of her books and said "appy".

• Leans in for kisses with her lips and will stay there and breathe heavy through her nose.

• Raises her hands up to her shoulders as if to say "oh well", or "all gone" or "I don't know"... she did it when I asked her where the monkey was on a page in her book.

• Knows where her hair, nose and ears are, as well as her feet and her gut. She will rub it when asked.

• Penny has 4 more teeth coming in, the upper canines are starting to break through and the lowers are almost there. Once in, she'll only have 4 more to go and then she'll have all her baby teeth.

• Pats us on the arm or leg as if to say, "hi, I'm here". Gabe also calls it the Vote of Confidence :).

• Will repeat what the doggie says if it's her Lucky the Dalmatian Puppy.

• We think Penny is getting slightly frustrated with not being able to tell us what she wants. And she definitely knows what she wants!
