Little Monkey

Kelsey's new thing is to want to play on the bed or couch. She stands up and then jumps. Our neighbors have a trampoline that she has been on before, and her daycare has one as well, so maybe she thinks the bed or couch are her personal trampolines. Just an FYI, Matt or I are always by her when she is doing this :)
Kelsey can now climb up the stairs and turn around to go down them on her belly. We have been pushing it by not getting a gate for our steps because for a very long time Kelsey never even noticed them. However, now if we say, "Do you want to go downstairs?", she knows right where to go. It does make me nervous because she does pretty well, but I still worry. Again, we don't let her do this alone.
She goes for her 15 month check-up today which means shots. I swear, the cry she lets out when it happens is so sad :( Good thing Daddy will be along today to help comfort her (and mommy).
Finally, we are starting to feel like we have an echo in the house because Kelsey is attempting to say everything we do. It still only comes out as gibberish or one word at a time, but she is constantly talking to us. It is so awesome that she can communicate more things to us now. Matt and I just commented that it will be fun to see her reactions when Christmas comes around because she is so expressive these days. Have a great Friday everyone!
