14 Months Old
15 months and 1 day!
Well I'm a little behind posting McKenna's monthly updates. Her 14th month birthday came in the midst of getting ready to move into our new house and now she's turning 15 months so it's a combined update this time.
McKenna is continuing to grow and amaze us with what and how quickly she's learning new things. She now attempts to say her ABC's when she sees letters on things such as a t shirt, sign, etc. She will even attempt to sing them with me at times. She is continuing to learn and understand new words. Added to her list of words is up and down, yay, making grunting sounds when she sees a picture of a pig, a bow wow sounds for dogs, she's said read a few times, and a ta sound for touch. She's starting to blow kisses and even sign thank you which look very similar to each other although she seems to understand the difference.
McKenna has really taken to feeling the beat of music and will start dancing when she hears a song that she likes. She has quite a few funny dance moves and her favorite is stomping her foot, while moving in a circle!
She now has eight teeth total although they all aren't 100% in yet but moving up. We think there must be another tooth coming in that we just can't see yet because McKenna has woken up the last few nights when she's normally a great sleeper.
McKenna seemed like she was down to one nap a day but is back to a quick morning nap on days we are home and will fall asleep in the car if she hasn't gotten a morning nap in. I'm hoping we are officially moving to one nap a day soon because she likes to nap right in the middle of many toddler morning activities.
McKenna seems to really enjoy the new house. She has lots of space to run and play and loves her big play room. It's full of all my kindermusik/music therapy instruments which she loves. Her favorite seems to be a big gathering drum. She loves her new bedroom and loves having all of her books back and out of storage. McKenna just loves reading and now hands us books when she wants to hear a story (which happens all day long). We got a library card last week and McKenna has already listened to her new library books multiple times. She especially loves the "Hello Texas" book we found.
McKenna is starting to understand the concept of cleaning up and will help put things back into a box/container if I ask her or even when I sing the clean up song. Sometimes she gets distracted though and takes things out again! We're still working on this skill!
