So much fun!

For Remi: just a few pictures and some fun things that you are doing now, at 15 months...
 You recognize Elmo and say "Melmo" whenever you see him.  Daddy bought this chair for you and you love to attack it!
 "Where's my peeps?"
 You crawl in, under, or through anything you possibly can.  You found your baby bathtub under your crib the other day and pulled it out.  Then you spent all afternoon crawling in and out of it.  I also found you that same day under your crib with only your feet sticking out!
 You also try to get into whatever you can, especially if you aren't supposed to!
 You have discovered how comfy pillows can be.
 You and Mommy supporting the Hoosiers...so excited for basketball season!
We played at the park one day with Daddy...
 ...and Rachael!
After watching the Olympics, Mommy is convinced you are ready for gymnastics!

Also:
  • You can tell us what these animals say: rooster, cow, dog, kitty.  You recognize them in pictures and make the noise when you see them.
  • You wave bye-bye when Mommy puts on her shoes and purse.
  • You say "lo" when our phones ring or a text comes through.  You also knock on a door and say "lo" when you want out.
  • You touch everything and say, "Is soft!"
  • You are forever bringing Mommy and Daddy books to look at with you, and read to you.
  • You love to rub your soft pajama shirts and hold onto them like a blankie.
  • You try to say "Nicole"  but you start with the "c" and it sounds very Russian or German!  (Nicole is Remi's awesome babysitter!)
  • You can also say shoe, tree, sock, turtle, baby, cheese, na-na (banana), kitty, fishy, Daisy (Nicole's dog), outside, ba-ba (sippy cup), peas, Cheerios, ball, and door.
You are doing so many fun things right now!  Mommy is so blessed to only be working half days and spending the rest of the day playing with you!!  Mommy and Daddy love you very much. :)

Let's party!

Happy birthday, Remi!  We had a wonderful time celebrating Remi's first birthday with our family and friends at church over the weekend.  We certainly couldn't have pulled it off without the planning, work, cakes, and photography of Shelby, and the decorating of Grace and Cooper!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  And thank you to all who came to show love to our big girl.  What a blessing to have so many people who love Remi as much as we do!
