Summer is sitting in the floor reading some books. She really loves to turn the pages herself. She gets upset when I try to help...the nerve of me! I think her favorite book right now is called "Honey Bunny." It only has about 6 pages and twice as many words, but she really likes the pictures in it...especially the picture of the little boy. I hope that is not a sign...LOL. She has now found the remote control and is trying to use it as a phone....laughing at what it is saying to her. She really is a silly girl. She is also watching soaps with me right now which is about the only thing I watch other than cartoons. Okay, now she is blowing on the top of the couch making funny sounds....laughing at herself. There are the coasters she loves (to throw in the floor) so much! It is amazing that I have only been writing for about 3 minutes, and she has gone from floor to couch and back to the floor. She really does not sit still for very long.
Yesterday, she was in my glider playing. She ended up making it fall backwards and tumbled onto the kitchen floor. She didn't even cry. She still falls a lot when she is walking, especially on concrete (not sure what is up with that). Maybe she is trying to walk to fast or run. Either way, she just gets back up and moves on. She's is pretty tough.
She is trying to figure out how to ride her Peek-a-boo block rhino right now. She does know how to push it and stand on the seat. But, she can't seem to roll herself across the carpet when she sits on it. Wait....is that another poopy diaper I smell? Oh the joys of being a mom!
Summer went for her 15 month check-up and shots on Monday. She weighed 24 lb. 9 oz. and is 31 3/4 inches tall. She is in the 80th percentile for both height and weight. She has stayed pretty much consistent in her percentile (70-80)since she has been born. I think her 7th tooth finally came through today. Her nose is running like crazy and there is drool so I wonder if there are more to come.
Did I mention she is climbing onto everything she can? The couch, chairs, toys, stairs...no trees yet though. :)
She talks all the time too. Her new word for today is Pawpaw. She saw a picture of my dad and I said Pawpaw and then she said it. Now I will have to try to teach her to say Nona and Nono. Two weeks ago, she said Memaw and Nanny. Last weekend she called my sister Auntie. She is really good at picking up new words. I was trying to get her to say pillow. I could see her trying to get the "P" sound out, but she didn't/couldn't do it. She said balloon and ball last week. Please and thank you are two words she uses all the time. Hopefully it will stay that way as she gets older.
She loves blankets. Especially soft blankets. She does not like to share them. I am trying to teach her that they are not all hers, so in her play area, we each have our own blankets. She tried to take mine from me today and claim it for herself, but I wasn't giving in. I can't always give her what she wants. She needs to learn to share and the sooner she learns that, the better off she will be...and all the unsuspecting kids who might have something she wants. Wish me luck!
