15th Month Annibirthery

15 months! Etta has expanded her signing vocabulary to include (among other things): cheese, swim, thank you and book. It is getting to be really interesting to "talk" to her. Verbally she has a new favorite word, "NO"! She uses this for any question that you ask. Even if the answer is "yes".

Mommy: Do you want to put on your shoes?

Etta: NO! (Right before she heads off to her room, gets a pair of shoes, brings it back and plops down and proceeds to attempt to put her own shoes on...)

But all in all things are very exciting. She is officially walking on her own. Can stand up without anything to pull up on, makes good turns, squats down to pick things up. People barely believe me that she has only been walking completely independent of my little finger for only about 10 days.

Here we go again...



The penguin laughs to music if you push him around. Etta was dancing to the tunes.



Finally, legs straight and both subjects facing forward!
