15 months!

This girl is a drama mama! She is very emotional (already!) and needs all my attention.
She is mostly happy, but sometimes decides to have a grumpy day. Don't we all need those sometimes?
(This morning, wearing a onesie, Grandpa's medal, and carrying around mama's bikini top! Oh, and miffed cuz I won't pick her up.)

She is starting to get very "clingy" to me, which I completely adore. I love when she burrows into my neck when she is acting shy.
She is as smart as a whip, I am tellin' ya. She picks things up quick. She is going to keep us busy!
Before bed, we chase her around, acting like a lion or bear, growling as she runs giggling from us. This morning, I heard her make a growling sound, and I went to investigate; she was chasing her little friend around a chair, growling!
(Running away from a scary bear, favorite blanket in hand.)

She signs: mama, dada, milk, more, all done, dog, duck, bird, cow, horse, rabbit, sheep, squirrel, play, apple, eat, etc. The list goes on.
She loves animals, and can mimic a cow (mmmmmmm), a dog (panting), a monkey, an owl, and she is totally obsessed with ducks, and goes crazy signing "duck" when she sees one.
Her favorite thing to play with right now are her books, ("The Wheels on the Bus") and her letter and animal flash cards. I promise she has more age appropriate toys, but always brings us the books and flash cards.
She loves nap, and bed time, as long as we are there to say goodnight to her.
If she sees someone folding their arms, or hears the word "prayer", she folder her short little arms, and bows her head. Melts me every time.
(Being grumpy in the morning. "I 'heart' Daddy" PJs. Lips pouted. Won't even look at me!)

She is a dancing maniac! Her favorite song right now is "I Gotta Feeling". We made a music video a few weeks ago with that song. Maybe I'll post it...I also discovered she thinks the song "Who Let the Dogs Out", is hilarious! Or maybe it was my dance moves?
She is getting picky about her food! Grilled cheese? No, thanks. Mac-n-Cheese? Gross. She acts like I just gave her dirt for dinner. Actually, she will eat dirt...(She decided she liked pasta for one meal only. Always rubs her dinner in her hair! Only has three bottom teeth.)

Kate is completely obsessed with her little blanket and has to carry it around everywhere. She has started holding it to her nose, smelling it constantly. I totally did this with my "Didi" and I am secretly happy she does it too!
She just got her first, good goose egg on her little forehead. Bruised and everything. So sad.
Loves new clothes, and shoes. She totally knows when something is new and will point and keep looking down at her new outfit. A true girl.
7 teeth.
In love with her Dada. And follows her mama around all day begging to be held.
Sure love my little lover.

i just love hearing about her and her big personality! It just seems like you're enjoying every minute of it! As well you should. ;)

Claire loves "I gotta feeling" too, and we have dance parties almost every day. Whenever it comes on the radion at home or in the car she ets so excited and says, "Mama it's our song!" Her other favorite is "Don't stop beliving" by Journey. haha Random.

Oh how I wish we lived closer. It would be so fun to ahng out and spend those hours between naps and daddies together! Miss ya!
