Millie's 15 months old today!


Millie is 15 months old today, and the days go by faster and faster each month. It seems like just yesterday that we sold our Hanahan home and moved to Ft. Bragg, but it was exactly a year ago! Twelve months later, Millie is a new kid... no more baby :( Here's what Millie's been up to this month:
-first five freckles have shown through. I'm waiting for some spots to appear on her nose like Matt and I had when we were kids, but none yet.
-finally, has two teeth on top to make a total of four. one lateral and one central.
-dances and moves correctly to "If you're happy and you know it...". She learned that in her music class.
-her hair has gotten a lot longer and I'm not sure how to tame it.
-she's climbing on anything
-she's likes to un-velcro her shoes
-she can climb and sit on chairs her size
-she's learned to say words like "basketball" and "boo"
-she's signing so much more effectively now. The other day, I said thank you to someone and she signed it without me prompting her to do it. The parroting begins...
-She talks a lot in her own language.
-She knows and points to mostly all her body parts, recently she learned elbow and knee.
-We joined a book exchange and got a book in the mail called "Busy Baby: First 100 words." There's photos of animals and people in it. It's her new favorite book and she takes it to bed with her. Matt went in to get her Saturday morning and found her flipping through the pages in her crib.
She is still such a joy to be around. In Millie's 16th month she's got her cousin Andie's 5th birthday party and her Aunt Katie's wedding! Such a social calendar already!

That's awesome.

I must have missed the week we did "if you're happy and you know it" because I don't remember ever singing that there!
