Happy 15 Month Birthday

What a big girl you have become!!!!!
Health Update:
If I dare to write this.... we have had a few weeks of amazing health in our house. Leah's persistent running nose and cough have some how come to an end. We can now add allergist to her list of doctor's she has encountered...sat through 3 hours of testing and not allergic to a single thing.....thank g-d for poor Tyson!!) I think when I mentally decided to just stop with all of the dr. appt's and medication it all just came to an end ( maybe it was sitting in the "sick"waiting rooms that kept her soo sick!). Last week we passed by a mother who was cleaning her child's throat tube and it made me realize that your life is so relevant to you until you compare it to others. I have been complaining and complaining about colds and coughs when really things could much worse. We are so grateful for the amazing health that Leah does have and all will run it's course.

Changing all the Time:
They really do become "toddlers" at this age and it is more fun than ever.

vroom vroom

She can sign for: more, milk, and eat!!!!
Point to a few body parts
Make animal sounds
Sing along to certain songs
LOVES to hear her cd's in the car
HATES to be locked in for to long ( that includes her car seat, high chair, and shopping carts)
Can play hide and seek and will "pretend" to do things ( have tea parties, and pretend to be sleeping)
Can throw mini temper tantrums:
Trying to "discipline" a 15 month old has been quite interesting. She will now test you with the hitting, biting, and we have witnessed a few tantrums ( yes, she has thrown her self on the floor and acted like a complete drama queen). But as I read books, websites, and other blogs....I am not only reassured this is normal but healthy. Or is that a lie to keep us parents sane????

Has about 12 teeth and not sure of weight and height yet since her dr. appt is on Monday

And the winners of my favorite new skills:
Her dancing level has definitely stepped up a notch. She can now twirl around , swing her arms, and bend her knees ( not always to the beat, but that will come later). She actually shakes her butt like beyonce.

and most important.............
Gives the best hugs in the world.
