Claire at 15 months (tomorrow):
- Has a constantly expanding vocabulary, and in her own toddler dialect can say many words and phrases including "all gone", "thank you", "bath", and "up." She still plays dumb when it comes to the word "no" however, and uses the ever popular toddler whine ("eh, eh, eh, EHHH!") to let me know when she wants something. It's not pretty, but it sure is effective.
- Is a full-time walker and continued crazy climber. Afraid of slides. Climbs up stairs with ease but thankfully won't attempt to come down them on her own.
- Has a Pavlov reaction to the sight of her toothbrush: pacifier drops, mouth opens wide, says "Ah."
- Still a food lover. Becomes ticked if she doesn't get exactly what the big kids (and adults) are having. When eating something she likes, will pause after each bite and let out a very satisfied "Mmmmm" with a huge grin on her face. It's one of my favorite Claire-isms.
- Generally adorable in every way.
