15 Months

(excuse the quality of photos this post- I may or may not have left my camera up in Spanish Fork yesterday at my aunt's house- so these are via my phone!)

Well- yesterday my little one turned fifteen months old- I know it is ridiculous to celebrate each and every month but she changes every month- week- and even day! I love the stage she is at!
15 Month Stuff!
We flipped her forward facing- making car ride naps very interesting! The movie Tangled is my best friend- During- a three hour drive on Friday then another on Saturday she was better in the car than she was playing around!! I didn't hardly hear a peep from her either day! (Princess and the Frog and Happy Feet are close runners up for entertainment)
This little lady is growing out of her clothes- everything is too short for her! I'm taking her to the Doc for a checkup next week so we'll have to see what her stats are then.
Millie has become a little mean- she hits her dad- pulls my hair- and she slapped my aunt Jody!! I really don't know what to do to get her to stop! It's not her playing around- she does it when she is MAD!! I tell her NO NO! and squeeze her hand but I don't know what else to do!
She is now running! It's so funny to see her try to run away- it is more of a fast walk-run!! 
She crashes on her butt a thousand times a day!! She usually just hops up and is off again! Other times she pulls out her inner drama queen and wails!! Ha ha
She still only has the four teeth- two on the top and two on bottom- however, she has been working on the two top side teeth for the passed couple of weeks. Believe me- this kid knows how to use her teeth! Every once in a while she will scare the bejeezies out of us and chomp down on an unexpecting toe or something causing us to jump!
Her words this month haven't changed much- dog- ball- no no- uh oh- I think that's pretty much it!! 
She kinda likes being thrown around- Colby with throw her on the bed (in a loving way) and throw pillows at her and she thinks its hilarious!! 
We think she responds more when we call her Millie instead of Hayden- but we'll probably keep calling her both! I LOVE both names so much for so many different reasons! Maybe I should have just named another girl one of them! Ha ha- oh well- what's done is done! 
Her hair is getting longer- when I pull her back curls down- her hair goes about an inch passed her shoulders. But I suck horribly at doing her hair! I really wish I could french braid it like Jaime would be able to do but I just can't grip it cause it's still too thin for my fat fingers! 
She still isn't all that scared of strangers- she'll pretty much go to anyone. I assume this will be changing within the next few months!
She is still taking those two blessed naps- USUALLY they are 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours- but that varies depending on the week and the location- this last week she has been cutting them shorter than I like! 
I have gone down to part-time at work for a little while to be able to spend more time with her and have time to do my homework- I'm going to try to not go full-time again for as long as I can but we'll see how long our funds last!! haha
I love this little lady so much and can't even begin to explain how blessed we are to have this spirited little soul in our lives!

(Colby thinks it's funny to snap pictures on my phone during mine and Charlie's Sunday morning nap- we do look pretty ridiculous)
Loving life!
