15 Months!!!

Dear Scarlett,

You are 15 months old today. I want to cry and smile at the same time. I can't believe what a happy little girl you are becoming. You seem to grow bigger every time I turn around. Little miss. This is what we have been doing this month....We went on a mini weekend Getaway to the Ocean to visit Nunna and Grampy Bobby. It was a fun weekend and you loved playing in the sand. We have been going to lots of play dates. You made a new friend, Chloe. Mommy made a new friend, too. (Chloe's mom) So we have been hanging out with them. You are talking more and more. You say "more" now and "all done". You also sign them in baby sign language as you say them. You say "Dadda" mostly. And usually you say it while he is at work. Then when he comes home and tells you to say it, you don't.....You do what you want and you are very independent. I see a bit of me in you. That scares me and makes me smile at the same time. It makes me happy to know that you are independent and strong. It scares me to think that you might be as rebellious and naughty as I was.

Right now, you are into everything. I can't keep track of you long enough to catch you. You pull all of the clothes out of the drawers. You empty the tuppawares all over the kitchen floor. You pick up every tiny piece of anything that you find on the ground. As I clean, my little twister is behind me fixing that. But I love every moment of it. I love the sound of your pitter patter as you run across the floor looking for me. I love that you reach for me every morning. I love the mess that you leave for me to pick up. Everyday after you go to bed, I go around picking up the storm that you leave behind. As I organize books and put babies back in cradles, I think of how lucky I am to have such a beautiful baby girl. Before I know it, you will be all grown up. And I do not take one single day for granted. I cherish your spaghetti sauce face, your curly cues, your wondering fingers, your tiny baby toes, your devilish eyes and that big beautiful smile.

I can't get down the aisle at the grocery store without someone telling me how beautiful you are. I never get sick of hearing it. You smile as soon as the camera turns to you. Those eyes.....so inviting and loving. You are really a joy to have. When we go for walks, you pick a stuffed animal or baby to take with you. It is the cutest thing. Well Scarlett, I can no longer call you "Baby Scarlett". You are becoming my "Little Scarlett". I know soon you will be my Big Scarlett so I'm taking this time to suck up all the little you that I can. We love you sweet girl.....

Love, Mommy & Daddy
