Rebecca and Lizette came to visit two weeks ago and it was so nice to visit with her and hold my sweetie-pie niece. We took some pumpking pictures of the cousins and a few turned out pretty cute.
I took the pumpkin outside in our backyard and tried to get some shots. That little miss thing sure can have selective hearing. She just played and walked around and didn't seem to hear me asking her to "look at mama and smile!" Well, good thing she has cute "working" facial expressions while she is busy as well.

So, we have been having SO MUCH FUN with our happy, spunky, walking little 15 month old that has been cracking us up on a daily basis. She has really started picking up more sign language and saying a few things that we can understand... but only when she wants to (she is not a big performer, and she tends to not "hear us" sometimes :) ).
She sorts everything, is a really good eater (most times),
loves her milk (but only in a certain cup) and brings us so much JOY. She has been going to "school" 4 days a week from 9-1:30 and loves it. She gets really excited when we start walking up to her school and she just goes and goes while she is there (no morning nap- but she is so tired in the afternoon when we pick her up). She loves to read books and some of her faves right now are "the Very Hungry Caterpillar", "What do you Say?", Brown Bear Brown Bear what do you see?", "Pat the Bunny", The touch and feel books ("That's not my lion" and "That's Not my dolly"). She also loves bath time and brushing her teeth. She is definitely absorbing everything like a little sponge and can locate her nose, eyes, belly button, ears, and teeth. She can tell us what a duck and cow says, but only when she wants to and she is usually better about doing it for Ray. It is really fun that Ray works from home and Claribel can go visit him during the day when she is here (she LOVES his calculator of all things).
We LOVE LOVE LOVE our sweet almost 15 month old and wouldn't change a thing about our life right now!

Awww, I'm glad you're having so much fun! 15-16 months was about the point with James where I started thinking, "Hey, this is great! He's funny and fun and this is WAY BETTER than the newborn stuff." And it's only gotten more fun since then! Haha -- I'm not a good mom of a newborn, what can I say?!
Your "punkin" pics are beautiful!
Wow, 15 months already! How time flies!
