15 Months Old

Since Evie turned one, she has really developed into a curious toddler! I want to always remember what she is like right now, so here's what she has been up to lately.

1. She gets very excited when she sees balls or anything resembling a ball (balloons and dog toys) and instantly yells "ball, ball, ball." She can also say "dada." I think she is trying to say thank you "tae too"

2. When she is hungry, she points to her lunch box and whines, or she will walk to her booster seat and stand next to it.

3. With a book in hand, she plops into your lap and puts the book in your hands.

4. She will intently stare at pictures in a book, making up words to go along.

5. She and Wilson play a game of ball where Evie steals the ball from Wilson, and Wilson chases her. Evie dives into your lap for protection. Then Wilson steals the ball from Evie and so on.

6. When Judd comes home from work, Evie runs straight to him with her arms wide open.

7. If Evie wants something, she puts her hands together and holds her arms outstretched.

8. She laughs when you chase her.

9. After school, she loves going on walks to check the mail, picking up leaves and acorns along the way.

10. She loves all types of dogs, and if one lets her, will run straight up to any dog and try to pet it. We of course, don't let her pet the dogs unless the owner is right there.

11. She has a mouth FULL of 13 teeth. All she needs are three eye teeth and the two year molars.

12. Evie is very outgoing and will walk up to any kid to play with them. She is also very calm when meeting new adults.

13. She doesn't have separation anxiety. She LOVES church, school, and her teachers.

14. She likes climbing up and scooting down stairs.

15. Anything sparkly instantly catches her attention, especially jewelry. After digging through mommy's closet, she'll pull out the most sparkly purse and carry it around the house.

16. She loves swings and slides.

17. She tries to put shoes and socks on her feet as well as other people's feet.

18. She tries to use a fork and spoon, but then gives up and grabs a huge handful of food.

19. When Judd plays music, she is mesmerized and instantly tries to play with him by trying to pluck the guitar strings.

20. She's so darn CUTE! Love the blonde hair and blue eyes.
