What she liked doing at 15 months and 3 weeks
  • Shake her head from side to side many times - when she didn't want some thing
  • Raise her skirt or shirt to show her belly button - because she was obsessed with her bellybutton right now. 
  • Go up and down steps or stairs - every time she saw one.  
  • Run to the door - when she wanted to go out
  • Wear mommy's shoes and walk around the house - this was the latest favorite activity
  • Pat mommy's back - when mommy said "Map, mommy's so scared.
  • Show her tongue.  And like to touch other people's tongue.
  • Point her finger on to other people's eye and say 'eye.'
  • Grab other people's both ears and say 'eee.'
  • Dance along with the familiar nursery rhyme
  • Dance when hear music
  • Run to mommy when seeing mommy taking picture or video of Map. She wanted to check out her picture/video.  This made it very difficult to take her picture/video nowadays.
