Samara, 15 months

I thought it was time I did an update on my Baby (especially since she won't be the baby for long). She turned 15 months old on March 8th. I find she has "grown up" a lot this month. She really enjoys playing with David and Angeline and they all play much better together now that Samara is more independent. Also Samara's new favourite things to play are baby dolls and kitchen centre. I find this really cute and amusing to see a baby walking around with a baby doll on her hip. I recently set up a little "house" for them with all the kitchen and baby stuff and Angeline and Samara play there quite often and David also joins them. She loves to go outside but just got out on the grass for the first time yesterday. It was really funny... she just stood there and wouldn't move. I helped her take some steps and Jonathan has since cut the grass so we will see how she does today.
Her and David are sharing a room now and that is going well since they are both good sleepers. We will probably put the new baby with David so Samara will eventually share a room with Angeline but for now this is working well and the new baby will probably be in our room for a few months anyway. Samara doesn't climb as much as the other two so I am hoping to keep her in her crib a bit longer. David escaped at 18 months and Angeline was taken out about that time too because she was climbing on everything else and we were afraid she would fall out of her crib and hurt herself.
Samara likes to "sing" and loves "Old McDonald had a Farm", "If you're Happy and you know it" and rhymes "round the garden" and "patty cake." New words this month are "Dad" and "again"... she also says "Mom", "more", "duck"... she also shakes her head "no." She is attempting more words... we often think "it sounds like she just said..." Her brother and sister also do a lot of talking for her.
We all love her to bits and are enjoying this very fun stage of growing and exploring.
