E Scott

Is large and in charge! Elizabeth has such a pleasant disposition and is a busy almost 15 month old! a great eater (well, she's not so into fruit) but will dig in to just about everything else I give to her. The latest on E -

• runs after Daniel and jumps on the bed.
• loves her babies and feeds them with the lay bottle.
• snuggles and kisses all stuffed animals and drags them all over the house and now to the car.
• will point to her belly button, eyes and when we read the book about body parts, lifts her toes and fingers at the prompt.
• enjoys books and will pull them off the shelves and entertain herself by flipping through them
• particularly like the lift-the-flap books
• knows the signs for please, more, bunny, bird, milk
• says ma ma, da da, dadel, hi, woof (oof), moo
• uses a fork and spoon
• drinks from a regular cup pretty well (she initiated this and the utensils)



• drinks from a straw
• wants to kiss everyone and all animals
• chuckles and makes jokes in her own way. She is just a very happy little person - smiling and chuckling as she plays
• stacks really well - blocks, yogurts from the fridge
• unloading and reloading the fridge is one of her favorite pastimes
• her hair is finally long enough to put into a Dr. Seuss Who pony tail on the top of her head
• is almost out of her 12 mos clothes.
• understands, "Where is...." and will help me look for shoes, keys, the pacifier
• follows commands like "bring it to me"
• is now in love with her bunny and paci
• likes toys with buttons and music
• can ride her wheelie bug as of this week! she is very proud of herself.
• rides the horsey.
• wipes her highchair tray with a paper towel.
• wants to stay at school and play with the babies and cries when I take her away from them.
• nods yes (big achievement in the last two weeks!) and shakes no
• loves to wear Daniel's baseball hats

• also has affection for Curious George; she recognizes him
• raises her eyebrows and makes an "oh!" sound when she is excited and interested (looking out the window)
• has started to color
• likes to be carried around the house when she is sleepy. my mommy muscles are looking good on my right arm and I'm doing a lot more with my left arm - cooking, in particular.
• is sleeping really well - 8 p.m. - 7 a.m. most days with a morning and afternoon nap.
• still drinks from bottles, but also does all kinds of cups. by 15 months, i think i had daniel completely off the bottle. however, elizabeth is my baby, i'll give her a bottle and snuggle her before putting her in bed at night for as long as i can!
• gets a kick out of sitting on a stool or step
