Our little girl is now 14 months. She will actually be turning 15 months on December 26. I am amazed constantly at how much she has grown and developed during the past few months. To say I love her is an understatement, I never thought I was capable of loving someone so much. She gives me kisses and hugs. When I tell her "I love you" she responds by blowing a kiss at me.
She started walking a few weeks ago also... now we cannot stop her from wanting to walk. She just takes off if we let her! Sapphire our kitty has taken a liking to Angelina. It must be because she can now walk. I caught him the other day running towards her and gently hitting her on the foot with his paw and then running away. He comes up to her and rubs his whole body around her, she gets tired of so much attention at times and will actually push him away but he always comes back for more. Sapphire is a tuxedo cat and my understanding is that they have the best temperament towards children. He has never swiped or hissed at her.
There have been many changes in our lives since I last posted something in our blog. Daycare was too expensive and I had to make a tough decision and take her out. We were paying as much as we pay for rent so it was just too difficult. Another issue that came up for me was that my job at the church turned out to be something that I was not enjoying at all. I wanted to be the most time possible with my little girl and it was starting to impact my focus and efficiency. I applied to a job as an over the phone interpreter and got hired. I now work from home with the added benefit that I have my little girl with me. I do have a babysitter that helps with her but I get to be with her a lot more than before.
Angelina has now started to use a lot of words, I wonder if it has to do with the fact that we are home now. She uses a lot of sign language (more, eat, hungry, milk) and she's also learning to say these words. She now says "kitty, hi daddy, mama, hi kitty, bye bye, milk and "what?""
Yesterday on the way back home from running an errand, I had given Angelina some milk, she was sitting in her car seat and I turned back to check on her. She had this huge grin on her face, she had been spilling her milk all over her seat. I called her "Angelina!" and her reply "what?" with her two little hands in the air, as if saying "what's the big deal?"
I can't wait to see what's in store for me in the next few months with her growing, learning, speaking and doing so many new things. Life is magical when there's a child in it :)
