Alyssa is 15 months old today. It's amazing how fast time goes with two kids. She isn't our little baby anymore. She still looks like a little baby since she is so small, but she doesn't act like it :) She is starting to talk a lot more. I'm sure most people wouldn't understand anything she says, but we can. She says mom, dada (which she says the most), Dallin, more, done, truck, bye bye, bath, snack, outside, shoes and more that I can't remember. She tries to copy what we say, and sometimes gets it...sometimes not.
She is a climber. I caught her up on Dallin's bed, on her kitchen, and trying to climb onto the countertops in the kitchen from a chair she moved. We have to watch her carefully now :) She thinks she can do whatever Dallin does, and Dallin tries to get her to do everything he is doing. She loves her baby dolls, but she loves playing with trucks more. She loves running and jumping around with her big brother. She loves to read books even if she only lasts for a couple pages. It just means we read 15 books in each sitting :)
She has learned to walk down the stairs now...thankfully she goes slow so I don't have to worry as much. She is very proud of herself. I wish she would just turn around but I guess she has to learn one day.

She loves to wash her hands. She will sit at the sink begging for us to let her wash her hands all the time. She gets a little frustrated when the sink in her kitchen doesn't actually work.

Her absolute favorite thing to do is go play outside. She gets so excited and sits on the stairs ready for us to put on her shoes and coat. Alyssa is just so happy outside. It is still pretty cold, so I hate going but the kids love it so we go out about once a day.


Alyssa loves her big brother. They do everything together. Dallin gets really bored when she goes down for a nap. I hope they stay best friends.
