"Please"
"Sorry Jax & Jilly, but I like this cereal."
"Whew, that was a lot of hard work!"Okay, you might think we never change Saela's clothes anymore - but this happens to be her favorite pair of pajamas. She will hold them up and sign "please" as she is demonstrating in the first picture. She says "please" by signing for everything and it melts my heart every time. From wanting food to her shoes put on to her favorite pj's - she says please - what gets hard is when she says please for something she cannot have - it's hard to say no.
She's becoming an expert walker and is falling less and less. She loves covering things up with washcloths or paper towels or blankets - or whatever she has handy. Her vocabulary is growing daily - her words now consist of "Ja"=Jax, "Mim"=Mom, "Da-da"=Dad, "Uh-oh"=Uh-oh, and when asked what a ducky says or what a cow says she says "Qak, qak and Boooo" respectively. I have been trying to catch this on video - but have not yet been successful. She will also look at the pages of a book and "read" to herself and this is seriously the cutest thing EVER!
Her favorite food is cottage cheese - and we now hide her vegetables inside the cottage cheese to get her to eat them. She no longer freely eats broccoli as she did a few short posts ago! We also discovered this morning that she likes taco chip dip - so much for feeding my kid healthy food. She had a banana, store brand "Special K" and taco chip dip for breakfast. Perhaps this is why she is passed out in her high chair. What I've been telling myself to ease my conscience is - "at least she doesn't eat like this everyday."
As her 15th month mark has come and gone - she continues to grow and amaze us daily. We thank God everyday for her presence in our lives.
