this is over a month ago but oh so funny!

we're still in size 3 diapers.  for fall we'll be moving up from 9month to 12month clothing.  we will officially have to stop using the bucket carseat which is sad b/c it was so easy to just have a zillion bases floating around the family members.  she eats EVERYTHING, but daily staples include baby oatmeal, sugar-free applesauce, bananas, and avocado.  and clearly she's had a cookie or two since she wakes up asking for them :)

15 months, etc...

It's official.  I no longer have a baby.  I have a little girl.  She is SO different than she was when she turned 1 that I can hardly believe it.  At 15 months Lofton LOVES dogs (she says the word, then signs, then woofs), baby dolls, being independent, and ...her paci.  we'll work on that one in due time.  but due time is definitely not when you're moving into a new house, your mommy stays home with you for two months, then you meet somebody brand new and they become your M-F caretaker. (our nanny, Lori, is wonderful by the way!).  Lofton runs everywhere and still giggles constantly.  Her language has exploded over the past month (she's technically 15 and 1/2 months now).  She says mama, dada, dog, door, duck, bye bye, night night, hi, please, cookie, thank you, rock rock, eyes, toes, belly button, more, up, no no, ball...just to name a few.  she recently started saying "there you go!" and "one more please" while holding up her little finger when she wants something.  it is crazy to see this 15 month old (that looks like a 10 month old) talking like CRAZY out of nowhere!  and it's really hard to say no when she wakes up in the morning and right away says "cookie please".  she is still super sweet but not quite as easy as she once was.  she is extremely independent and as such eats most of her meals with a spoon and fork and somehow figured out how to get a shoe on by herself this afternoon.  it's a battle everyday to dress her b/c she really wants to do it herself  :)  she has become very attached to dewey lately and after being awake for only a few minutes starts asking for him and running to our room to find him and give him a great big hug! 

below are a few pics from our visit to the grapevine sealife aquarium (which she loved), looking cute/mischevious, testing some chips/guac, corn on the cob, and rocking her baby.
