Growing up

So much has changed with me since my last "what's up with me" post. I am now 15 months old and the best word to describe me is very "busy."

The most significant change, at least in mom's eyes is that I am now down to one nap. Mom thought this reduction would occur at 18 months for sure, but I was ready. She also thought that the one nap would last for 3 hours and she was wrong again. We are lucky if I sleep for 2 hours, sometimes its 1.5 and others it's 2.5. On a positive note, I am now pretty tired at night time so my bedtime is now 7 pm once again. And, I am so tired from not taking a 3 hour nap that I sleep between 12 and 13 hours at night! It's funny how sleep is so important to parents and that I am constantly overhearing mom discuss the topic.

One of my favorite things in life is still food. I love to eat and will try anything and everything, refusing almost nothing. Dad mentioned yesterday at dinner that I am "eating them out of house and home" I especially love all fruits and vegetables, homemade pizza and anything spicy. I am in the 45th% for weight and still 70th for height, so don't worry ~ I'm not eating Too much.

My vocabulary is increasing daily. This week I added purple, trees, prayers and my pretty name ~ HALEY (pronounced Ha-eee) to my list of words which is now just under 50! in total.

I love being outside, swimming, sliding (mom just got me a really neat slide from craig's list) and playing with my friends. I definitely prefer playing with girls over boys.

Discipline has begun. I am typically a very good girl but become defiant at times. I certainly understand what mom and dad are telling me - please don't draw on the walls with your crayons, it's dangerous to climb on that so please get down, etc... Usually I listen and obey but sometimes I test them. Alas, discipline works and I am learning lessons.

I am a really happy girl and we are all truly blessed.
