15 Months!

15 Months Old, October 6, 2015

Happy 15 Months, Bethany Joy!

This little lady turned 15 months old on Monday. She is growing up so quickly!

She started using the sign language symbol for "More" last week and "Thank you" this week. We teach all the girls some simple signs like "eat," "drink," "please," "thank you" and "more" before they can talk very much to make it easier for them to communicate what they need. 

She is saying a few words like Mama, Dada, baby, pup pup and cat cat.

 Because she has two big sisters who love art, she loves to color already. Sometimes, I see her use her left hand to color (her left-handed mommy wonders if this will continue...)

 Sometimes, I see her use her right hand, and

 sometimes, I see her use both hands at the same time to color!

 She wants to be a big girl like her big sisters already. Whatever they do, she wants to do too!

 
 She is a good eater and loving learning to use her spoon!

 Can you tell spaghetti is her favorite food? This is just like her Daddy who loves spaghetti and lasagna.

 She is pulling up and standing all the time. She will take steps with help and has stood on her own for a few seconds two or three times. She will be walking before too long. I think she can still crawl faster than walk wherever she wants to go and besides, when you have two big sisters who hand you whatever you need, that makes things easy for you!

We love you, little Joy Bug! We thank God for you and the little lady you are becoming already!
