Our little girl is fifteen months old now. I don't know when I started thinking of her as a "little girl" instead of a baby, but somewhere along the way I did. And she is such a big girl. These days she knows exactly what she wants to do and sometimes gets frustrated when she can't communicate that to us. But when she is happy, she is the happiest little girl around. We are having so much fun with her.
At her 15-month appointment she weighed 21 lb and 8 oz which puts her in the 30th percentile. She was 31 1/4 inches long, which puts her in the 70th percentile. So somehow from the genes she was given by me and Eric she is now tall and skinny!
Her words now include shoe, bye, da-da and finally ma-ma! She also says thank you, which is sounding more and more like thank you. And book.
She knows the sound a cow, sheep and snake makes. She can point to her eyes, ears, heard, nose, mouth and toes.
She likes to do puzzles and she loves to dump stuff out - anything and everything. At the end of the night, I am amazed at what a mess we have - but she basically takes all her toys out and dumps them out. Oh well!
She's gotten really good at coloring, now we are working at keeping the crayons out of her mouth.
She loves canned grean peans and frozen peas. Also animal crackers - this kid eats a lot of animal crackers.
She likes the cheap "take and toss" sippy cups and doesn't want anything to do with any of the 5
kinds of "fancier" sippy cups we have acquired.
Ooh...and the coolest thing is now when you ask her for a hug, she give you one! It's the sweetest thing ever!
Last weekend it was nice outside and we bought this slide. She is having so much fun with it!

Snow!
I just saw on the news that we set a record today for the most snowfall in one day in North Texas ever! 7.9 inches! And it's still snowing! E was acting sick this morning, so I stayed home in the morning and Eric came home at lunch so I could go to work. So we sort of all got a snow day!
Here's our house.
Little E didn't quite know what to make of the snow. She took a few steps (although wasn't interested enough to put her animal cracker - see right hand- down)...

The Rest of Our Weekend
After our exciting haircut, we went to visit Mamie and Poppa. At first, she stuck close to me.
But then Poppa showed her the rocking chair he had had as a little boy. It was the perfect size for E.

Elizabeth's First Hair Cut
On Saturday, we took Elizabeth for her first hair cut. She didn't love it but she didn't scream the whole time, so I think it was a success! Plus, after seeing the end result, it was quite clear to me that we needed one! First we went to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe - look at that hair!

Bracelets
A few weeks ago, Elizabeth found some of the plastic links that she played with as a baby and we used to attach toys to her carseat and stroller. She decided they were bracelets! She's had a fun time wearing those and I mentioned it to one of my friends at work, Amanda. The next day, Amanda brought us actual bracelets! Elizabeth loves them! She puts them on and takes them off and throws them around the room. But it's so amazing to me that she knew exactly what to do with them without me showing her. Turns out my daughter likes jewelry!
