Sadie at 15 Months

Tuesday, August 6, 2013

I promise one day (hopefully soon!) I will get back to blogging more than monthly updates! But in the meantime...

Sadie is all over the place these days and is so much fun to be around! She has a silly little personality that shows more and more each day, although she has also started developing some of the dreaded “toddler tantrums” – arching her back in frustration when she doesn’t get her way (or when she finishes her milk!). On the flip side, she loves say “hi” to everyone she sees on the street and “sings” silly little songs.

Nicknames: Say-Say, Sade, Say, Boo, Mooky, Bubba Boo
Temperament: So silly and happy! You still love singing songs and learning new words. You are super chatty and will just entertain yourself playing with your toys or following us around the house while we do housework. You're almost always happy and upbeat (unless you're not getting your way!).
Things I Could Do Without: You hitting me in the face! You have recently learned the word "ouch" and know that when you hit me or pull my hair I will say "ouch." You love the reaction so I have to ignore the fact that you're hitting me. Please stop doing this, it's no fun!
Item/Toy We Love The Most: Books. You love sitting and reading books with us and now you are very opinionated about which books you read, especially before bed. Sometimes I have to hold up 5 different books before I find the one that you want.
Item/Toy You Love The Most: Stacking bowls - you loving pushing them togehter to make a ball, putting them on your head to make a "hat," and stacking them. They provide hours of entertainment!
Things I’m Loving Most Right Now: How much easier your schedule has gotten. You now take one long nap in the middle of the day, so we actually have time to go out and do fun stuff in the morning and afternoon. It is amazing!
Things You’re Loving Most Right Now: I think it's a tie between walking and talking. You love running around everywhere and have started walking sideways and backwards. You also love dancing and it's the cutest thing ever. But you also love talking and picking up new words every day!
Sounds/Words: Before your 15 month doctor's appointment I figured out that you had about 40 words you regularly say and a few two-word phrases. That's a lot! You say "big girl," "let's go," "I know," "go baby," "here go," along with a lot of other words in our daily life. It's so much fun listening to you talk!
Foods You Like: Everything still. Fruits and veggies of course! You love eggs and now when we get the frying pan out you run around the kitchen saying "eggy!" It's so cute. We joke that you eat better than us with your organic diet full of fruits and veggies from the farmer's market!
