Your baby, 15 months 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 and older

Your toddler is really curious about the world around her! Encourage your child to explore her world. There is so much for her to see, hear, touch, taste, build, knock over, climb on and manipulate. Your quiet baby has become full of energy and she needs you to step up the pace, too. She is probably constantly in the go-crawling, walking and scooting. It can be tiring, but think of all she is learning. Putting your child into a playpen limits opportunities for active learning and it should only be done when necessary.

Parents generally discipline their children in one of two ways: Power control or reasoning control. If you use power control, you take privileges away, use corporal punishment, withholding affection and use force to control your child's behaviors. Parents that use reasoning control usually explain in age appropriate terms why their child should behave a certain way. They choose not to use physical punishments, but instead point out why the child's actions could harm others. Reasoning control generally makes children understand why what they did was wrong and children are usually more likely to cooperate.

Your child probably likes to climb and climb alone. He does not think he needs any help. He can climb up stairs, onto chairs and tables, and he can also climb out of his crib or playpen. He can walk well and may be able to run a little. Your little one can follow simple commands, tell you what they want some of the time and can point to familiar items in a book. Your child is learning about textures, but probably does not like anything sticky.

Your child has become an expert att putting things in her mouth. The bad news is that she often puts objects in her mouth that don't belong there. The good news is that she is continuing to get better at feeding herself. Mealtimes are smoother and she enjoys eating with the family. There is no reason to buy separate foods-she can eat what you eat!

Because you have encountered the accident years, take every opportunity to make your child's environment as safe as possible. Young children don't know how to protect themselves, so it is your job do make sure she is safe.

• Protect your child from falls with stairway gates and window guards.
• Don't leave chairs near open windows or cabinets.
• Cover electrical outlets.
• Keep you child away from hot stoves and heaters.
• Avoid scalds by turning the water heater down to 120 to 130°F. (50-55°C)
• Lock doors that lead to dangerous areas.
• Keep dangerous substances locked up or safety capped.

kodyzboo (team pink) - Monday, 13 Aug
destiny and lillians-thanks my mil is doing much better now. aww i was thinking the same thing the other day destiny that it would be so cool to have our baby girl on october 13th cuz then they'd be exactly 18 months apart...im due on halloween but hubby thinks ill go early so we shall see and they aren't gonna let me go past 39 weeks cuz of earlier complications. Has bellablue been on for a bit? she wanted to get together while i was on vaca and she gave me her number? hhmm ill send her a private message...diana-good luck on ttc!!! hopefully soon!!!

Destiny*Joshua*BabyBlue - Sunday, 12 Aug
Joshua is 16 months today. Was hoping to have the baby today so they'd be 16 months apart exact. No luck. We are going to the zoo so I can get some walking in while the kids have fun looking at all the animals. We have a zoo pass that has already more than paid for itself and I just got it last month after the Az trip. Hope everyone is well.

HElloooooo echo echo echo. where is everyone?

Destiny*Joshua*BabyBlue - Thursday, 9 Aug
Kodyz I hope all is well with ur mil. Joshua will be 16 months on Sunday. I'm 39 weeks today and so grateful for vicodin. My hips hurt so bad that I hate the thought of moving even rolling over can bring tears to my eyes. Hope this pregnancy is over sooner than later.

Lilillian turned 16 months yesterday! I had my little brother over here for the past week and let me tell you I never saw him not once drink a glass of water! O_O my god the eating habits in the house over in jersey must be just as bad. I mean I keep soda and stuff in the house but we have never been able to drink three 2 liter bottles in 2 DAYS! on top of that I had to buy two more and he annihilated the fourth one and he was doing the same to the fifth till I told him to cut the crap and drink some water. jeez. That is exciting DESTINY!! And yes bella totally agree! @kodyz atleast she will have people around her still who loves her. And it sounds like they will keep you up to date on her progress.

Destiny*Joshua*BabyBlue - Monday, 6 Aug
I don't mind walking while preg but walking in the heat is no good. Makes me feel like I'm swelling. Going in for an appt tomorrow and going to have her sweep me (Ill be 39 weeks Thurs) and figure out an induction date if the sweep doesn't put me into labor.

kodyzboo (team pink) - Monday, 6 Aug
Bella-thats funny it was saying oj instead of kj but I fixed it now so it knows to keep it. Yes I'm a super fish too so I love that he is as well. Lillians-thats great ur trying to learn so u can take her. Early morning for me cuz we fly to Mass in the morning. I'm excited to see my family and friends but sad to say bye to my inlaws especially my mom in law cuz we've spent the last cple days finding out she has a blood clot in her right leg and a cple on her lungs so shes been admitted for monitoring while shes on the blood thinners for a cple days to make sure they r helping the clots go away and I hate to leave her but she will have her bf and her sister is gonna come fly from Michigan luckily. I just pray they go away w no problems.

bellablue - Sunday, 5 Aug
lol lillians mommy o well right we no whats best for them !!! FRIG EVERYONE HEY! LOL

Destiny*Joshua*BabyBlue - Sunday, 5 Aug
The pool is my biggest reason for being in an apt. Sucks that its closed in the winter. I'll have to find a low costing rec center so he stays used to the water.

lillianshappymommy - Sunday, 5 Aug
@bella same here! My mom is the smartass though she told me that I act like she is some type of precious gold or something that no one else can handle. O_o I just looked at her and walked away. If there is no reason to have someone babysit her why would I? it's either me or John with her and that's how I want it to stay atleast for now. When she's a little older (like when she's able to tell me someone is picking on her etc) then she can go to a babysitter, daycare etc. She's my child and I know no one will watch her the way I will. The same is true with John. It's not that I don't trust I would just rather not have to right now. lol. Plus I enjoy watching her learn everything etc. @kodyz that's so cool he's into water! I'm still easing into it since I can't swim. lol I'm taking classes and once I'm more comfortable with the water I can take her as well. It's also hard to find pools that are nice and clean in the city. lol that aren't super expensive to get into.

bellablue - Sunday, 5 Aug
Hey girls kodyzboo to funny i think on your kindle when you press k for kj it says oj i keep thinking you mean the juice haha!! But then i read the rest and know you mean your son :)--sounds cute he loves the water thats so good Arianna is a little fishy to its really cute cause i am to and she loves the boogy board-diana i know it is alot of work logging it on the beach the chairs/tent/umbrella toys/cooler/ towels/snacks i bought one of those thing where you can put everything in it but its really heavy to push in the sand haha but once im down we stay the whole day its peaceful but yes very tiring when i get home im pooped so is Arianna i like it when my hubby comes cause he carry's everything lol i get the baby - My Family is very good they don't ever say anything about the way i do things or nothing i love my family they are great my husbands family i love to but they dont understand that i never have left Arianna yet to be babysat once not once and they think i keep her to myself lol which i don't i just go everywhere with her so i never needed a babysitter yet im sure i will one day lol silly but thats about it-

kodyzboo (team pink) - Saturday, 4 Aug
Bella-yes I agree I want Capri to be just ss alert and interested in learning like oj but just a tad more low key if possible lol! Cant wait to meet u guys ss well. Oj has been spoiler this vaca. Today we went to chuck e cheese and played a bunch of games, then he had a bit of icecream and then we swam in a pool for a few hours. This boy has no fear of the water which is great but also scathe Cu's u need to really hold on to him. He loves to go underwater and float on top. He was even sinking a mini basketball w mommy's help. So cute and I'm happy cuz momma is a fish too. Been a long and exhausting few days. The great thing is oj has still been sleeping atleast 11 hrs on this vaca while being in a diff place and a couple nights including the first he didn't go down till a cple hours after bedtime so he just slept in an hour or so more. Hes such a good kid. Lillians-kj has been doing Pb since he turned one but I always have his milk or water handy since it sticks so easy but hes never had a problem and he loves Pb with a lot of things!

I havn't tried peanut butter yet, i myself don't like it but i will see if she likes it. Just picked out the kitchen back splash love the color we choose should be here by wed then the cabinets hubby is doing now can't wait till house is finished. Going bowling with hubby and Arianna so much fun Arianna loves the music and the balls lol she can be loud in there to hehe

Destiny*Joshua*BabyBlue - Saturday, 4 Aug
I've been giving him pb&j for a few months now. Peanut butter is a choking hazard is the only thing to remember. Make sure u stay in the room and have her cup next to her. Off to the amusement park today. Hope they have rides Joshua can go on other than just the merry go round.

lillianshappymommy - Saturday, 4 Aug
Yes! Family for some reason is just annoying. lmao. Unfortunately my family get on my nerves as well. actually I should minimize that to my mom and older brother(who I don't consider family at all.smh) I'm looking forward to the holiday's this year. I know it'll be fun! lol @destiny He's a light sleeper than huh? why does he cry though when he bumps you? lillian usually rolls into me and just cuddles closer. she's a doll. I love this little girl so much. Although she has her moments when she is being down right bratty. @kodyz he'll make a good big brother for sure! atleast you know that's a given. :) I'm glad you made it to your destination safely! Quick question have any of you started giving ur little ones peanut butter? our doctor said to wait till she's two, but i'm afraid that she'll be in that stage where they don't want to eat anything. I don't know. I just feel weird not being able to give her a pb&J sandwich. lol lillian is such a handful that I know I wouldn't be able to handle a newborn right now. She's so freaking determined to get into EVERYTHING. I can't imagine trying to set up a newborn nursing schedule and running agter her at the same time. etc. I'm exhausted just thinking about it! lol You guys are lucky that you're ready and can handle that right now. I would so love another if I thought I could. lol

bellablue - Friday, 3 Aug
kodyzboo glad to hear you made it safe hun ya that will happen he's so involved in where and what it is going on lol thats what i say about number two i hope they he or she is a bit mellow but then again i want them to be as alert as Arianna but she is a hand full! lol a mellow one next then the third can be wild again haha can't wait to meet little kj and you :) have a wondeful vacation hun xo

kodyzboo (team pink) - Friday, 3 Aug
My trip has been an adventure just hanging out in Maryland with the hubbys momma for the most part and today hubbys dad took us to aquarium and oj had a blast! Ever since being on vacation kody hasn't been eating much lunch or dinner but still loves his breakfast. I think maybe Cu's he has like five or six teeth coming in at once poor thing. But normally he eats everything: pancakes waffles frenchtoast cereal all kinds of fruit homefries and eggs scrambled or even omelette with the works. He gets his appetite from his dad. He eats most fruits and veges and any meal with chicken or turkey and he loves pasts. Destiny I had a lot of problems w constipation. Hope that means soon for u Hun. I cant believe ill have another one soon and I just hope she is even a smidge less hyper and testy as my lovely kody lol sorry for typos and no commas I'm on my kindle while on vaca and I'm lazy to put in all of them lol!

Destiny*Joshua*BabyBlue - Friday, 3 Aug
I thought Joshuas sleeping was bad at home...We're at my friends for a few days and I usually sleep with 2 twin mattresses side by side. Dess decided she was sleeping with us and kept the 2nd mattress on the bed. Joshua and I cannot share a twin bed! He rolls over, bumps me and wakes up crying. So frustrating.

bellablue - Thursday, 2 Aug
i don't blame you for feeling that way sometime family can get on your nerves not mine really but my husband's side ya they have all boys and sometimes they are ruff around Arianna and i get overwhelmed but she fights back lol with the 5 boys she a little tomboy but a pretty one thats how i was when i was young very pretty but new how to whoop some a$$ lol but his mom gets upset cause she doesnt see her to much and when she holds her she wants down but she doesnt talk much english so i think thats why but i dont say anything cause his mom is really sweet but shes old school lol

bellablue - Thursday, 2 Aug
