Rosie is 15 months and a full-on toddler! She is a walking, talking, wild toddler! This is such a fun age for us because she is a sponge! Rosie repeats what I say, tries to imitate everything I do, and is learning so much every day. I always want to remember her little curls, the way she blows a kiss, all of her animal sounds, the way she eats an apple, the way she says certain words like “mama,” “no,” and “bye,” and her darling dance moves. I love you my sweet girl.
This is the first milestone that we haven’t done professional photos! I had to stop that eventually right?! I did include my favorite photos from the last 3 months!
Here is all about Rosie at 15 months!
WHAT ROSIE IS DOING:
- Walking all the time
- Standing up in her high chair (oops, need to buckle her in!)
- Lots of new words: bye, wow, ow, woah, ball, bubble, peekaboo, touchdown, bless you, game day, apple
- LOVES animal noises: cow, dog, cat, horse, monkey, lion, sheep
- Obsessed with reading books and will give us books to read in the play room – her favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear
- Eating like a toddler now (lots of cheese, carbs, and fruit!) and especially loves to bite into apples or string cheese
- Puts things into my hands like a book or toy
- Down to 1 nap a day (typically 12-1:30) and sleeping 13 hours at night
- No more bottles (started at 14 months) and only drinks out of a straw cup (we use this one for milk and these for water)
- “Knocks” on things when you say “knock knock”
- Dances in circles and does a baby bounce too
- Still loving a lot of the same things like peekaboo, high fives, kisses, clapping, and waving
- Teething (has 10 teeth now including 2 molars)

ROSIE’S SCHEDULE:
Obviously every day with Rosie is different, but here would be the goal schedule for us right now.
- 8:30 – wakeup and straw cup of milk while she lays in bed with me
- 9:00 – get ready for the day and breakfast
- 9:30 – morning activities (crafts, walks, baking)

- 12:30 – nap
- 2:00 – wakeup and afternoon activities (errands, play dates, time outside)

ROSIE’S VOCAB:
Rosie has quite the vocab these days! She seems to talk more than other kids her age, but if your baby isn’t saying this many words, don’t worry! All babies are different! Some kids don’t talk until they’re two! I wasn’t going to include an exact list, but I did get a question on this so I thought I would put it out there. I do know at Rosie’s 15 month well-visit, they were interested in knowing whether Rosie knew at least 8 words? But again, it’s completely normal if they don’t too! That’s just a benchmark.
- 8 months: Dada
- 9 months: Mama, Ella
- 11 months: Uh Oh
- 12 months: No, Num Num, Nummy
- 13 months: Bye
