So Big

Wow, Chiara is so unbelievably big! We went for her 15 month visit last week (even though she's 16 months old). She is actually doing all the tasks on the 18 month checklist and she got only one shot so it was a good visit. She walks, runs, nearly jumps, and says 25-30 words and parrots an even longer list. Her favorites include: eating cheese ("cheese, cheese"), riding in the car ("car, car"), putting on and off shoes ("shoes, shoes"), going out side ("side, gate!"), and drinking water ("Bwah, Bwah"). She also likes taking off or putting on clothes (not necessarily her own), climbing into and out of the bathtub, and standing on the furniture ("get down, get down").

Here she is pushing and pulling Asher around on the deck:



And here they are snuggling on the couch while Asher eats carrots.


She also loves to ride the horsey (not pictured) and play the piano:
