Tapanga's 15 month well check up!

Tapanga 15 mo.

Words, words, words that Tapanga can say up to  15 months old:  apple, milk (1x), amen, hi, bye (100x) with a wave, book, bubbles, bath, thank you (1x),  good (1x), woof, baa, neigh, moo (a little bit), baby,

Signs:  hat, all done, more (100x), eat, book, please (100x),

She goes to the closet and gets her shoes, brings them to me and points outside.  She really wants to go everywhere and do everything Tank does.  Her new thing at the end of 15 mo. old is climbing up on the dining room chairs and onto the table.  She also likes helping load the dishwasher!  She loves loves Alvin!!

She loves giving hugs and kisses and does this to her friends too!  She is pretty cuddly.  Hates baths!  Loves swimming!  Loves books!  Loves to eat!!  Her appetite is bigger than Tank's current appetite.

I have started putting her hair in a rubber band.  She leaves it in for a little bit :/

Tank continues to be a great big brother.  He is very protective of her.  Recently he wants to include her with everything.  If he gets a snack, "Tapanga snack?"  He makes sure she is also going down for a nap.  Bath, yes!  "Tapanga bath too?!!  Which again she doesn't like baths at the moment!

He loves going down the slide holding her hand!  Thanks Na Na!

Mommy gives Tank a haircut!

Tank has had four haircuts to date:  4/8  two paid for, two by mommy!  Yes I finally bit the bullet and decided to scissor cut his hair without any training!  He sits real still in the bath tub and watches Minnie Bowties on You tube!!  He even fetches the stool and puts it in the bath tub himself.  I guess he has watched Dada get his hair cut every 2-3 weeks and knows the drill!  Tank even lets me use the clipper to edge around his ears and neckline!!  What a trooper!!!
