Yesterday was a groundbreaking day for her!
Yesterday morning, as all mornings, she walks up to my face and stares at me with her big silly grin. I open my eyes and say "good morning baby" and she says "hi" clear as day.
Later, she was playing with her books next to Chris and his buddy Fred. Usually she makes a very common "shu jits" noise, but this time it sounded more like "what's this?" This makes perfect sense because when we read books I point and ask "what's this?".
Then...that evening she wanted to sit in her carseat while Dad was installing his car stereo. I stood next to her, and she kept reaching for me saying "gish gish gish". Then I realized she wanted to kiss me! So we played that game over and over.
I really hope she keeps this up! A lot of times she starts doing something and stops. I have been anticipating talking since she was born, so her being slow is KILLING ME! Ha ha, I'm just so excited that she is finally trying. Now I have to figure out all the other sounds she makes...
On a sad note, my perfect little baby bubble world has been compromised. She has caught a nasty cold with a fever. I was up with her all night last night. Hearing her cough up junk and watching snot pour down her face is breaking my heart.

FAQS
She is growing so quickly and ever evolving, it's hard to put every little thing up here! So here's a few highlights:
Bedtime is still a struggle. She wakes up on average at least once a night still ever since converting her bed. She crawls in my bed in stealth mode until she begins to fidget. I'm so used to getting up it's no longer a big deal now to get up to put her back in bed, and it only takes a few minutes.
She is still not really talking. I try really hard not to get concerned, I know all kids do things at their own pace, but most kids her age are saying a few words by now. She says dog when she looks at Lucy, but that's really about the only consistent "real" word she uses. She knows exactly what she wants and she knows how to show me what she wants. Everything is a pull of the finger. It makes it difficult when everything can be accomplished with a gesture!
She has discovered her eyes, nose and vagina. Keeping her fingers out of them is fun.
She kisses with her mouth closed and gives the best neck choking hugs!
She is getting really good with electronics. She can navigate her entire DS Mario game (switching from mario game to minigames), turn on the super nintendo on the big tv and play some of it, she knows moving the mouse on the computer turns it on so she will move the mouse, crawl up on the seat and start clicking all over the place, and she loves to turn on her movie!
She still LOVES watching music videos. Not kid songs, real music. We have a library of about 15 songs that are her favs.
Potty training? Yah right. She doesn't seem the least bit interested yet. I have a feeling she will never warm up to her baby potty and will go directly to the big one. The closest we are at it is she knows to close the lid after I flush. Ha ha.

Oh No.
It has begun.
Last night she woke up crying. I went in there, checked her out, calmed her down and put her back into bed (screaming). It's midnight, I'm exhausted, she'll live. So I get into bed, but the screams are getting louder. I open my eyes and here comes a little nugget running towards me at full speed. She climbs up in bed and cuddles under my arm.
It was too cute so I allowed her to lay with me for a little while until she starts fidgeting and playing on me. So enough of this, it's bedtime! Back to her bed she goes, and out of her bed she climbs. Ugh. She discovered something new. So she slept with me for the first time which equaled no sleep for me. Bummer!
Might as well convert her bed now.

No more Binks!
Her pacifiying days are officially over! It's been 2 days and 3 nights now, and she really has been great about it. A little fussy in the day, but a little distraction always does the trick. Nap and bed time...forget about it. No big deal at all! I was so shocked! Although, last night she cracked me up going to bed. She "blah blah blahed, talk talk talked" while laying over my shoulder. Then she sits up and tries to eat my face, then my necklace, then my shirt. Silly kid!

15 month well check
Baby girl did good today! She whined as usual throughout the exams, but didn't seem as clingy as usual. She weighed 27.5 lbs (95%) and measured 32" (87%). That was our first time not being in the ninties! Her head measured 20.5" (>97%). She is growing so fast!
We are almost done with our shots, only one more visit until she starts school! I am so excited! Technically today should have been our last visit but she is behind on 2. I may or may not get her flu done then too.
