This and That

• Tali loves to "talk" on the phone now. She holds a phone (either her toy one or my cell phone) on her shoulder and just babbles away.

• We finally baby proofed the kitchen and I thought Tali would have a fit. Instead, she tried to open the cabinets, realized they were locked and just walked away. Of course, she tried throughout the day but she didn't have a tantrum.

• Tali finally had her 15-month check-up yesterday. She's now 19.7 pounds (5th percentile) and 29 inches tall (10th percentile). Everything is good and we were given the go ahead to turn her car seat around, hooray!
  

• The toddler tantrums have come early, and, knowing Tali, will probably stay late. I just ignore them. Eventually, she calms down.

• Tali is a walking machine. All she wants to do is walk around, especially outside. It's hard to carry her because she wants down. It's also hard to put her in a stroller because she wants out.
  

• One of my favorite parts of this age is the hugs. In the middle of playing, Tali will come over to give me a hug. It's very sweet.
