Long-awaited Love Note

Dear Teryn,

I can’t believe you are already 15 months old!  Every day I catch you doing things that make me think, “how the heck did you do that?”  Your personality and abilities keep blossoming and I can already see a little man coming out in you.  Lately you:

  •          Cannot get enough of the water.  You throw outrageous fits when I pry you out of the bath tub. 
  •           Dive down the slide all by yourself.  Head first.
  •           Love to swing by yourself.
  •           Have learned how to climb out of the bathtub???  
  •          Climb on everything. 
  •            Love to jump on my back from the changing table after getting a new diaper.
  •      Have learned how to put sunglasses on your head.
  •        Love to throw yourself into the Love Sac or any other pillow-type thing. 
  •           Wander.  Aimlessly.  Everywhere.  You don’t care how close or far away we are.  You just keep going. 
  •          Respond to every telephone ring and knock at the door.  Even if we’re in the middle of playing.  No matter how interested you are in an activity, if my phone or the door makes a sound you are on it. 
  •           Like to climb on our backs when we’re laying on the floor. 
  •             Bring my shoes to me when you want to go outside.
  •          Know when you’re playing with something you shouldn’t and you bring it to me without me asking.  Usually. 
  •           Have learned how to plug your ears with your pointy fingers when something is loud.  It’s hilarious.
  •       Love to peek through mom's and dad's legs.  
  •           Randomly crack up at yourself.  Who knows what jokes you’re telling inside your head.
  •      Love to pull all the books off the shelf in your room.  Just because you can. 
  •           Wave “hi” to everyone you see. 
  •           Give “high 5” to anyone who asks. 
  •            Give kisses to anyone who shows you love. 
  •          Love playing with keys and trying to put them in key holes. 
  •          Are drawn to knives and screwdrivers and pretty much everything that can poke your eye out.
  •           Like to eat anywhere but your highchair. 
  •           Growl when you’re angry. 
  •           Love books.  But you’d rather read to yourself than be read to.
  •          Dance every time you hear music.  You get your dance skills from your dad ;)

You keep us smiling, that’s for sure!  We thank Heavenly Father every day that he gave us you. 

Love you!
Love, mom
