15 Months

Scarlett turned 15 months on Sunday, the 19th.

14 months started out a bit rough for Swilly.  She battled a lot of nose drainage for the first week or so but as long as I suctioned her with my handy dandy Nose Freida she did quite well.  The crazy weather with 70+ degrees one day and 35 degrees the next, isn't helping any of us!  But, we thank God that we have all stayed very healthy this "winter." 

Scarlett had a follow up appointment with Dr. Strand (her urologist) and her kidney is looking great.  She will have a repeat VCUG in April to check on her ureter and bladder function since the reimplantation.  We expect everything to be healed by then.  However, until then, she has to stay on antibiotics everyday. 

14 month happenings:  Scarlett has 16 teeth, she absolutely loves to give the dogs treats (all day if I would let her), her favorite foods are avocado and banana and during her bath she isn't interested in toys lately; she just wants the water to run so she can fill up a cup and dump it on herself!  She is very interested in the trash and loves to throw things away, she knows where her ear is and loves other peoples belly buttons.  If she wants to see your belly button and you don't willingly show her, don't worry, she will just rip your shirt up and see for herself!!

I didn't realize how busy we were this past month until I started looking through all of the photos!  I have quite a few pictures and videos so enjoy them all!

Chad & Scarlett were outside playing and discovered a new fun toy!  I hope you can hear her laughing.

One day during her nap all I could see on the monitor was a foot. I went in the room to check on her and this is what I found:

Our MOPS group had a play date at the Galleria.  This place is so much fun!!  Swilly gets so involved watching all the other kids (I wonder where she gets that from - it's people watching, NOT staring!) so it's really hard for me to get a picture of her looking and smiling at the camera.

At the beginning of February we had dinner with Uncle Jason, Aunt Ashley and Cousin Addison.  Scarlett & Addison had so much fun with Addy's toys.

 

 Papa (my dad) & his friend babysat Swilly while Chad & I went to B-Dub's for our regularly Tuesday evening visit.  This was also the 1st time to sport a "Pebbles" hair-do!

 Next comes Valentine's Day!  My previous post has the details and some pics from the day but here are just a few more of our favorites:

  

As you can see, we were obviously very busy this month - at least with taking pictures and having fun!  WOW, this turned out to be such a long update loaded with tons of beautiful pictures and fun videos of our Swilly!  Chad and I are so thankful for the blessing of a child.  She fills our hearts with such joy.  The best start our day is to see a big smile on her face, stare into her gorgeous bright blue eyes and kiss her good morning.  Everyday we learn something new about ourselves because of Swilly.
