4.11.12 - 15 months!

I know I say it every time I do an update post about Aurora, but I honestly cannot believe how fast time flies and that our baby girl is 15 (almost 16) months old! Where does the time go???

Our sweet Aurora Nicole is such a joy to be around. She is truly the light of our lives, and I love that she can make anyone smile--even strangers, at the drop of a hat. She's always making us laugh with the cute things she does. I can't get enough of her beautiful smile, darling little voice, adorable laugh, and irresistible kisses!!

Rori's 15 month stats:

Weight: 18 lbs 9 oz (13%)

Length: 31 in (61%) [growth spurt!!]

Head: 44cm (10%)

Pictures from the last month

Silly girl fell asleep sitting up in her crib at nap time

She's figured out how to open our TV stand and play with the DVDs

She loves sitting in her laundry basket to watch TV

She's been falling asleep in funny positions lately

She fell asleep in her exersaucer one morning while I was getting ready

At 15 months:
-She's a good little pretender--I love watching her play with her dish set or baby dolls and watching her mimic the things we do, but in her own little way.
-She likes to play dress-up already. She uses anything she can as a phone, and will make anything she can into a purse she carries on her arms around the house. She loves lotion and chap-stick. She's DEFINITELY a girly-girl!
-She loves when we give kisses on her back when she's getting dressed in the morning or PJs on at night.
-She's starting to throw temper tantrums. Who says it's terrible two's? I think it starts at one!
-She loves to flush the toilet, and she tells me after she's pooped. Good start, right?
-She loves to help with the laundry and the dishes (when I let her).
-She not only walks, but is starting to run! She loves following the "big" kids around and trying to do what they do.
-She likes to be chased.
-She is a FISH and LOVES water!
-She's pretty gutsy--she'll do big kid slides at the park all by herself!
-She's really getting into starting to tell stories. We have no idea what she's saying for 98% of it, except when she throws in a word we can recognize, and she laughs, and will slap her leg at the funny parts and everything. It is hil-air-e-ous!
-She likes to copy me and the ladies I exercise with when we're doing some of our moves, and she LOVES when we do Zumba--she dances with us for part of the time most weeks.
-She is SUPER friendly, and will say hi to random people where ever we are. She's always making people smile and laugh.
-She loves for us to read and sing to her.
-She has a pair of sunglasses that she likes to wear and keeps on really well!
-She's picking up on new words and signs all the time. We LOVE that she communicates really well with us.
-She loves her blankie-blankie and her binky still.
-She doesn't give open-mouthed kisses any more. Now she puckers right up for a smooch. I LOVE her pucker-lip smooches!!
