Kelsey Update

Kelsey is cutting her eye teeth. She currently has 12 teeth, but we can see the top two eye teeth poking through, and I am sure the bottom ones will be following. She has not been too crabby through all of it, although she has had some icky diapers and a runny nose.
Kelsey's vocabulary continues to grow daily. She still babbles a lot and we just say things like oh really, wow, how do you know to see if we can get her to continue. However, she can now say a lot more words now too. Her current list consists of mama, daddy, ball, wow, uh-oh, up, baby, shoes (which tends to come out sh$%)socks, book, grandpa (pa-pa), grandma (ma-ma), milk(mil), water (wa-wa), diaper (buy-per), Mary (me-me), hot (ot), hat(ot), stop (op), goodnight (ni-ni), all done (ah-du), banana (anana) bye-bye, hi, and Kelsey (es-ey).
When she gets her picture taken and we say cheese, she gives this big smile that shows all her teeth and crinkles up her nose.
She can now go down the stairs with help and up on her own, but we are always behind her. When she is at the top of the steps she always says stop because we tell her that everytime she gets close.
Once she gets full or wants to be done eating, she starts dropping her food over the side of her high chair. She will also push her plate away.
In the bath, I know it is time to be done because she stands up, reaches for me, and says all done (ah-du).
After she brushes her teeth in the morning she likes to kiss herself in the mirror, complete with the muah sound and all.
She is really into putting things into drawers and the garbage can, even if they don't belong there.
She loves standing on her stool in the bathroom and seeing herself in the mirror. She will also sit on the stool.
If we ask Kelsey to play us a song on the piano, she will head over and begin banging away. She prefers to sit on our laps so she can reach the keys easier, but she also stands by it and reaches up to press the keys.
When she says her words, she often begins by saying the a sound in front of it. For example, a-mama, a-ni-ni, a-dada.

There you have it! An update on what Kelsey can do and what she likes. She will be 15months on Sunday. Is that even possible? Where does the time go!
