My 15 month old sweetie!

I can't believe how quickly time has flown! Maryella will be 15 months old tomorrow! What a sweetheart she is. She loves to give hugs and big slobbery kisses. She hardly walks anywhere anymore - she's usually running. She doesn't meet a stranger - everyone gets a wave and a really loud "bye-bye" when she passes them. She will pose for a picture and say "chee". She loves to laugh and smile.
Her favorite times of the day are meal time and bath time. When I say it's time to eat, she runs to her high chair. And she will hardly let me get her clothes off before she's trying to climb in the tub at the end of the day.
She can identify lots of body parts - eye, ear, nose, mouth, head, hair, arm, hand, foot. She loves her big sisters and wants to do everything they do - which isn't always so welcomed, especially when it involves taking their art supplies.
Her two favorite words are "my" and "mama". My means mine. She says this as she grabs something and tucks it under her arm. It's usually followed by the sound of Kaylin or Annlee yelling that Maryella took something of theirs. Maryella calls mama through out the day whenever she needs me or has something to show me. Most other adults are mama as well, though. Except her daddy, who is "dada". She starts running to the door as soon as she hears our security chime in the evening when Jeff comes home, saying, "dada, dada!"
I just commented to Jeff the other day that she is becoming more and more a toddler every day. Where did my little newborn baby go?
