Today is Danielle's 15 month birthday! She has many new tricks for which she is very proud. She climbs on anything that is off the ground more than an inch. Our challenge is to help her know what is not supposed to be climbed upon (certain toys, buckets, ziplock containers, etc.) and what is dangerous to climb (stairs, things that roll, etc.). She has no fear, so those things we deem dangerous she is starting to master! She is talking more and more, saying things like "Yo Yo Yo" for yogart, "zzzz" for zoo, "oh yea" when things are delicious, and more fun things. We have been teaching her baby sign language and has mastered the words please, thank you, more, eat, and milk. She continues to light up our world and others as she blows kisses, waves to everyone, and truly showers us and others with love. What a blessing-filled 15months this has been!
Also known as SNOWING...Danielle will look outside and declare with glee, "NOWING!!!" She loves the snow, the cold, sledding, eating snow, crunching through the snow...really anything with the great outdoors. We, of course, promote being outside as much as possible. Time at the lake this winter provided a great opportunity to do all that she enjoys. We did NOT take her out on the lake, though. Maybe next year. :)
