15 Months Old

Hallie is 15 months old today. I've realized some things today as I'm thinking about the last month with her.
#1-I haven't blogged since her 14 month post. Yes I know, I'm a slacker...more things will be coming soon.
#2-I really need to start using my regular camera! My phone is great for the most part, but I don't have ONE picture on my regular camera from this last month. I'm gonna go ahead and blame Mikkele on that one though. She stole my rechargable batteries from my camera and put them into the Wii remotes. So there's my excuse :) So don't mind all the fuzzy, poor quality pictures.
#3-My baby is growing up! And way too fast for that matter!

Carrying around sister's purse.

I just have to say that I was quite proud of teaching my child this....

Since I can be found doing the same thing quite regularly :) But now it has turned into a regular occurrence. Doesn't she know we're supposed to save it for Grandma Roberts to see?

She loved the cherry tomatoes from Grandpa Jones' garden!


Enjoying a poo cookie. We make these cookies all the time since they don't have eggs in them. She loves them!

Our ward had a humanitarian fundraiser that included a huge yard sale. We lucked out and were able to score this fun little slide. She has had a blast with it.

Other fun tidbits:
*She loves to be outside and go on walks. Which is why the little slide is inside. I didn't want to give her another reason to want to be outside all the time.
*She loves bath time, but hates the water on her head to wash out the soap. She will help rub her belly when you wash her body.
*She knows that after bath time we put on lotion, so she will rub her hands together like she's reminding me that we need to put it on.
*She helps put her clothes on or take them off.
*All 4 of her molars have broken through. Unfortunately only 1 of the 4 are completely through. So she is still really fussy. Hopefully we'll be done with the molars soon!
*Her appetite has picked back up. She's still a little picky on some foods, but is doing better. I am also trying to introduce her to more options. Her new favorite...grapes!
*She started saying thank you. It's more like ta-tu, but super cute! She'll sign for more and please but then vocalizes the thank you.
*She is a tease and knows when she is doing something naughty!
*She still gets into everything! Her favs are the trash (which is kept on the counter after it's half way full now) the toilet...why can't kids keep the door closed? And the pantry.
*She likes to help do chores....or I guess I should say make more chores for me by following behind me and undoing everything I've just done.

*Still napping 2 times a day for the most part. Takes a better morning nap than afternoon nap. I would like to move it to one long nap in the afternoon, but she is so fussy about 2 hours after she wakes up that she (and I) need her to take that morning nap!

*She's been a little naughty with her night time sleeping lately. Waking up once or twice a night. Hope to get that under control here soon!
*11:00am church time is a little rough. Only 3 more months until nursery!!!!
*We're working on her animal sounds and names still. All animals are still dodo's. One day...one day.
*She likes the cell phone. She has plenty of old ones that she can play with, but for some reason she knows they're fake and still goes for the real one all the time! It's funny to watch her when she does get a hold of it. She hold it behind her ear and will just sit and jabber for a long time. I guess I do to much of that :)

Happy 15 month birthday Hal!
We love you!
