We've had so much fun watching Lucy grow over the past few months. She has changed so much! She is officially running all over the place...in to everything...and wants to touch everything! She is very curious about her surroundings and is showing a lot more independence. She plays well by herself (especially in the mornings) and is very comfortable around people she is familiar with. It takes less and less time to warm up to new faces and places, which is so nice! Very rarely does she cry anymore when we drop her off at school on Tuesdays and Thursdays or at the nursery on Sundays. She babbles, squeals and "talks" all day long...it's very entertaining....but, she is not saying too many words yet. Words she can say are dog, duck, dada, mama, hi, up, uh oh, and milk. Her favorite word is dog...everything and everyone is a dog. We're working on that one. :) She loves to give hugs and kisses and has recently starting blowing kisses! Lucy loves to "help" me around the house with laundry, carrying things, cleaning up her toys, feeding the dogs and checking the mail. She's always carrying something whether is be her sippy cup, snack cup or baby dolls. She loves her baby dolls. She'll hold them, rock them, kiss them, pat them, feed them and make sure they have their paci. She's an organizer...shocker...she definitely gets that from me! One of her favorite activities when I'm cooking is taking food items out of the fridge one at a time and lining them up on the rug under the sink. She also likes to line up her baby dolls and teddy bears. That's my girl! She has also gotten so much better about getting dressed (it use to be a battle)....but, now she actually helps me dress her and she doesn't mind wearing jackets now!

Lucy is sleeping in a bit later now, which is nice. Most days she wakes up between 8 and 8:30am. She is still taking 2 1.5 hour naps....typically from 10:30am-noon and 3-4:30pm. Bedtime is between 8 and 8:30pm. She is wearing size 12 to 18 month clothes and size 3 diapers. She's still a great eater (all table foods) and drinker (completely transitioned to the sippy cup...no more bottles).

Happy 15 months baby girl! We love watching you grow and learn new things. You add so much JOY and laughter to our lives. Mommy and daddy love you so much....words will never be able to describe it. Don't ever forget that, sweet one.
