.15 Months.

Baby Lily has 14 words under her belt that you can clearly understand and she says all the time.

Baba

Baby - She knows she is Baby and points to herself and says "Baby". She points out other babies all the time too.

Bye - She waves and says bye to everyone...whether they are coming or going.

Dada - Definitely her FAVORITE word EVER! She used to call herself Dada before we taught her she was baby. Now, to tease us, she will call herself Baby Dada with a short pause between the two words. She sure loves her Daddy!

Dog - Instead of teaching her puppy like a normal baby, Aaron wanted her to be advanced and taught her dog instead. She caught on quite well!

Hi - She has now replaced hi with bye when greeting people. I'm pretty sure she does it just to mess with us.

Mama - The one word that can melt a mother's heart...and drive you crazy all at the same time. She loves to lay in bed and say "Mama mama mama" over and Over and OVER until she falls asleep. I finally realized it was just her way of putting herself to sleep.

Nanuh - For those of you who can't guess...this is how Lily asks for a Banana...or sometimes just food in general.

Nene - This is what she calls her favorite person, Uncle Tenney. She first started saying it a few months back while we were staying the weekend up at Aaron's parents house. It was late at night (I think it was almost 11PM) and she was getting VERY frustrated with Aaron and I because we didn't know what she was saying. Finally I told Aaron she probably wanted Grandma or Grandpa. So we took her upstairs and she climbed around on their bed between them for a bit, but still wasn't completely happy. We finally got her to go to sleep only to hear her say it again the next day as soon as she saw Uncle Tenney. She sure loves her Uncle Nene!

Nigh Nigh - This is one thing that I LOVE about Baby Lily. She actually tells me when she wants to go "Night Night". Sometimes she just needs some time alone and will drink her bottle and play in her crib for a bit. Most times she just goes right to sleep.

No - The one word you wish your child NEVER learned. Every time she says it, she looks you dead in the eye and laughs hysterically.

Peas (Please) - Mommy thinks being polite is VERY important. Lily picked up on this one pretty early...but will never say it when you ask her to.

Ya - I can hear Lily saying "YEAH!!" excitedly in my head...I can't help but crack a smile. SO adorable!

Yay - She has this one down! Clapping and all. Her favorite is when you try and teach her to do something and when you do it she says "YAY!!" and claps for you! Such a little stinker.

Uh-Oh - She tells on herself ALL the time with this phrase. She knows when she is being naughty and LOVES to announce it.

FEED ME!!

Baby Lily will eat pretty much anything you put in front of her. She LOVES meat. If you put meat in front of her, she will ignore everything else on her plate until it is gone. The only meat she won't eat, so far, are ground beef and roast.

Baby Lily LOVES almost anything green. Peas are her #1 favorites. She also likes avocados, cucumbers and green beans.

When it comes to fruit...watermelon is her new favorite. She likes strawberries, grapes, bananas and raspberries.

Those are just the few things that I can think of off the top of my head. She is up to try anything new at least once.

WATCH OUT FOR LILY!!

Lily is working on conquering steep hills...up AND down. She seriously has no fear and RARELY cries over her falls, even the hard ones! She will usually just get mad at whoever is with her and scream at them for a minute for "letting her fall".
