15 Months

While we were on vacation Hadley turned 15 months. 

I'm not quite sure how that happened.

Her life is flying by before my eyes.

So fast.  

Here's Ri at 15 months. 

And Jack at 15 months. 

And Beast mode Hadley at 15 months.  

She goes to the DR next week for her well visit and shots (yuck) but for now here's a list of what's up with Haddie: 

Nicknames: 

Had, Haddie, Hadster, Boom Boom, Mae Mae, Haddie Mae, Hizzy, Hizzy Mae

Eats: 

Not much breakfast.  Sometimes she will eat a little breakfast but prefers milk. 

Speaking of milk- she still drinks her bottle.  3-4 of them a day. 

I haven't really tried to break her from it because she drinks wayyy more milk from the bottle than a sippy cup.   

Lunch is normally turkey, nuggets, hotdogs, cukes, cheese, carrots, fruit. etc….

Dinner is mostly what we eat or what I wrote for lunch foods.  

Sleeps: 

On a 'normal' night she sleeps from 7:00 ish to 7:ish.  

She still wakes once or twice a week and cries out.  Most of the time she falls right back to sleep but I do have to go in her room and rock her occasionally.  

She still mostly takes two naps a day (seriously I can't believe she does this).  There are days that she only takes one nap but mostly it's two.  

I do need to break her of this habit since she starts preschool in early September.   

Talking: 

She doesn't talk too much but does have some worlds.

Jaaaa - for Jack

Momma

Dadda

Hiiii - for Hi

YiYi - for RiRi (sometimes)

ice (sometimes)

She signs the word MORE when she wants to eat or wants more of something. 

She understands everything. You can tell her to get a diaper, give it to Daddy, throw it in the trash, close the door, get your baby, sit down, watch your head, etc…. and she will understand it all.   

I'm hoping the speech kicks in soon but I am not too concerned yet - she's very advanced in her communication skills for not having many words yet. 

Other stuff: 

Wears size 2T clothes and can fit in a small amount of 18-24 months and even a few 3T shorts from Target.  

Loves to climb on furniture. 

Wears size 6 diaper. 

Her attention span for reading books is very, very small.  

She loves to climb in boxes. 

She's obsessed with Mickey Mouse and a sweet cartoon about bees called The Hive.   In fact- she will hand you the remote, climb in her chair and say "Buzzz Beeee" when she wants to watch it.  So cute. 

She loves dancing. 

Elmo is on nonstop in the car - keeps her quiet. 

Gets annoyed when people get in her space. 

She adores Taylor, our babysitter, who has helped me soooo much this summer and will continue to do so in the fall for soccer/baseball at times. 

Climbs stairs easily. 

Loves the pool. 

Favorite snack is veggie straws. 

No more 'baby snacks.'

Has 12 teeth. 

Is a size 4.5 shoe. 

Speaking of shoes - she tried to put our shoes on all the times and gets mad b/c she can't quite get them on right. 

Whew…… that's it for now.
