Fifteen months

Dear Violet,
You're 15 months old, which means it's time for quarterly update time! And so much has changed since your last update.

- You walk everywhere on your own, and you seldom crawl now. When we go places, you would much rather walk by yourself. But at home you like to be carried around still.
- You are very interested in shoes. You call them Suze, and they are the first things you ask for when you wake up in the morning. You also bring Mama and Dada their shoes if they aren't wearing any. 
- Your dad and I have counted, and we think you say around 20 words consistently. Our favorites are Ahbee which is your word for Airplane, Meena (banana), Helper and Up, Please.
- The weather is nicer now that it's fall, so one of your favorite things to do is walk around on the driveway in the back yard. You love to look up in the sky and pick up things on the ground.
- You are a tall girl, and you're wearing 18m clothing. You are growing like a weed! But the doctor says it should slow down a little now that you are over a year.
- You have four front teeth on the top, two bottom front teeth, and now you have molars too! You chew on your thumb when they bother you.
- You like puzzles, books, and playing with the tupperware, and you love your Gymboree class each week.
- You do a great job signing Hungry and Diaper.
- You like to eat meenas, yogurt, cheese, crackers, and sometimes turkey and raisins.

You are more and more fun to be around every day, and I can't believe how lucky I am to be your mom.
Love,
Mama
