15 Months Old!

Naomi Irene, you are 15 months old today! You have changed SO much in the past 3 months. Here's what's been happening:

- You have teeth!! The first one broke through on January 24th. And now you have two on the bottom, one on the top! You're 4th is about to break through, another top tooth!

 Playing with a new friend!

-We've perfected the move to getting you on my back into the Boba! You know to lean in and hug me with your legs. You really like to be held still, so I wear you almost every day, especially during school time so we can focus and get work done! Otherwise you cry or climb on the dining table. Although Zoë is super helpful and will sometimes get into the pack-n-play with you and keep you quiet so I can focus on the boys for awhile. 

- The weather finally warmed up one weekend, so we got OUTSIDE! It has been so cold this January and February, so we took advantage of the sunshine and went on a hike at the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. 

- Having fun with Pop-Pop at Zeke's birthday party! 

 - You make some very loud sounds! As shown above ^^ :D

- You are walking almost exclusively! The past 3 months you've progressed from mostly crawling and just a little walking to mostly walking with very little to no crawling. You're even spinning in circles to dance and climbing many things. 

Your post-bath hair is MY FAVORITE! 

- You love french fries with ketchup very much! But you also love steak, roast, applesauce, chocolate, roasted sweet potatoes, bananas, scrambled eggs, sausage, and pasta night! We've started giving you some juice and chocolate milk and you're a big fan of both! You aren't too picky of an eater which is great! 

Girls' Club continues! Mommy is excited for our friendship to grow as you girls grow! 

- You say "Dada", "Mama", "Bubba", "up", "ZZzz" for Zeke and Zoë, and make sounds for both cat and dog. You like mimicking the kids during dinnertime when they play eeny, meeny, miney, moe as we pick the next person to say what they're grateful for. You shake your finger and arm around and point at everybody. 

- You love reading right now! You pick up a book, bring it to me, crawl into my lap, and turn the pages. You like talking to the pictures in the book. 

Christmas Eve service 

- When music turns on, you start bobbing your head; sometimes even while nursing and I thought you were asleep! Ha ha! 

First ponytail! 

-Your hair has gotten long, especially into your eyes. So I've been trying to clip it back or put it up in a little fountain pony most days!

Naomi, you are a joy to be around! You are mostly happy, quiet and calm, although we have found out that your have a certain scream that you emit when you are upset or angry! You love your family very much and are really trying to become friends with Dora. You like giving Levi hugs when he is upset. You sleep from about 8:30 pm to 7:30 am and take at least one nap every day, sometimes still two. You babble and enjoy life! You don't seem to mind the cold and spend most days barefoot (although not outside, to be clear). You enjoy reaching your fingers up to play the piano and sitting on my lap while I play. I can't wait to see how you will change and grow in the next 3 months. Love, Mommy
