Kaitlyn 15 Month update

My little girl is 15 months today.

She's walking very well now and started to try to run, although keep tripping herself over. Her knees are always bruised from all the falling, but they don't seem to bother her very much.

She's talking a lot and learning new words everyday. She knows all of her visible body parts and most everyday objects. She loves to sing and dance and her "tunes" are starting to sound like songs.

She's a wonderful toddler. She's almost always happy and smiling. She loves to cuddle and kiss. It's great to come home and see her smiling brightly and toddling up to me to offer hugs and kisses. She rarely wake up cranky. When she wakes, morning and after nap, she chats to herself or sings to herself for a while until people notice she's up. She's very independent. As long as there's someone familiar in the room, she can happily entertain herself for ages, reading, going through her toys etc. She loves to read and loves to bring you a book to read to her.

She cleans up after herself. Every night before bathtime, she will pick up all of her toys, and put them into the toy baskets, and puts all of her books into the book box. She now does this without even being asked.

She has 2 obssessions, hair and socks.:D She's fully awared that she doesn't have much hair, so she is obssessed with everyone else's hair. She's always reaching for people's hair, touching and pulling. Just this week, she started to insist on wearing a cap or a beanie to cover her head. I hope that's not because she's feeling insecure about not having much hair? She love socks and when she "helps" us with sorting/folding the laundry, she always grabs for the socks and tells us that she has the socks. She loves socks so much that she insists that they are to be worn OUTSIDE of her pants. Not a great look, but it keeps her happy. :D

She only has 6 teeth still, and no molars. But she eats everything now and is eating all day. She finally put on a bit of weight this month, and is now at 8.8kg. She's still skinny, but I am just happy that she is gaining weight.

I will post a few photos on the weekend.
