It's fun to report how she's developing at this age because there's always something new everyday! She's now 15 months and she has developed her fine motor skills: she's able to open, take apart, turn the pages of her book one at a time and put together more things than I thought possible. Crayons, utensils, combs, bath sponge, and toothbrush are some of the tools she tries to use. And she's determined to do it just right. She has been able to hold her crayons correctly from the very first time we gave them to her when she was one! She must have been observing Daddy while he works in his office! Haha! She's able to feed herself now. She creates a mess though but a bib and a mat underneath her highchair takes care of that. Hehe! As for the comb, the bath sponge and the toothbrush, she still needs reinforcement when using them.
Also, I have noticed that stopping an activity is a very painful experience for Kirstin now. But I learned when I was reading this entertainment magazine and read about Brad Pitt's experience with Maddox, that it's a good idea to give your child a warning if you need to stop him/her from the activity he/she is doing so he/she won't get caught by surprise. That's what I did and it worked! Thanks Brad Pitt! Muaahhh! Hehe! I always give advance notice to Kirstin of an upcoming transition and some help changing gears. That makes things easier for me.
By the way, it's the first time Kirstin went for her check-up and the nurse made her stand up on the scale so they could measure her height and her weight! Awww...she's not a baby anymore! It's so cool though because she did everything the doctor told her to do. She's really a good girl! (Can you tell I'm the mommy? Hehe!)
