15 and 16 months notes for the sake of journaling

Here are the notes I took for months 15 and 16. Claire is growing SO fast. She is now almost 22 months? I think? Time is going way to fast but I am loving how much Claire is learning and growing. She is SO much fun! I will do a post on her life now pretty soon.

15 months

-runs

-spins in circles

-loves her books, listens to us read, chooses her favorites, sits down and jabbers while she reads to herself

-loves Yo Gabba Gabba, copies what they do

-dances

-understands more of what we say "bring me ____" "no" "peek a boo" "close it" "good job" "yay" 

-says "wow" "hi" "mama" "no" "dada" "hi dad"

-making funny sounds "nya nya nya"

-wants things and tell us by whimpering like a puppy

-falls asleep on the floor in a pile of blankets

-uses phone, unlocks, uses home button, volume button, can use different apps

-tries to feed herself, takes bites of big food instead of trying to eat the whole thing

-folds her arms during prayers

16 months

- she starts a peek a boo game and waits for us to say "where's Claire?"

- says "ball" and knows what it is

- says cracker by saying "ca ca ca"

- says "oh wow" all the time

- knows what a cat, pig, and cow says

- she says cat but it sounds like she is clearing her throat instead of "cat"

- she give nice hugs and kisses but her kisses are really long and usually open mouth

- she's getting better at using a fork to spear things

- climbs up stairs really well but still thinks she can walk down then two at a time ... Doesn't work

- is growing teeth and it's hard for her this time

- knows where her nose is

- every time we get to the dancing page of "good dog Carl" Claire dances
