At 15 months:
-Clare is walking all the time - she rarely crawls anymore. I feel like she was just log-rolling around the house to get to where she wants to go.
-Clare's showing us that she has a real stubborn streak... and quite a temper. When things don't go her way, she'll throw a nasty tantrum which can include throwing herself on the floor, loud screeching, or head-banging. Oh boy.
-She's also super-cuddly and loves to be held. She also likes to rough-house, which is good since Sean likes to rough-house :-)
-Clare loves music! She loves to sing and she loves to dance. Her favorite songs right now are "Old MacDonald," "Itsy Bitsy," and Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds." She also likes to bop around to the too-hot-for-Sesame-Street duet between Katy Perry and Elmo "Hot n' Cold."
-She likes books - she likes being read to and she likes to pretend to read to others as if she's a little teacher.
-She eats like a champ! Right now her favorite foods are pineapple, watermelon, and cottage cheese. She loves to have a banana at breakfast and to munch on pretzels for a snack. She only has a bottle at bedtime now which means we only have to bring a sippy cup of whole milk to school in the mornings. Clare always needs a utensil at mealtimes now - we usually give her a spoon to hold while she eats, but sometimes she'll try to get food on her spoon and feed herself.
-She's starting to babble conversationally and can say a few words such as "hi" and "uh-oh!" Her signing is really coming along - she can sign "more" and "please" and knows some colors.
-Clare is totally in copycat mode - she can mimic what we do and what we say. She especially likes to mimic Sean when he's being noisy which can make for very loud dinnertimes :-)
-She's a very good helper. She likes to carry things and put things away and clean up.
