15 Months: Walking with Cousins in Detroit

Rose has done a lot of growing in the last month.  Walking is now her primary way of getting around - after her older friend Ruby showed her how it's done.  She can also now speak about half a dozen words, and can sign about twice as many.

One of Rose's favorite signs is Touchdown!  Unfortunately, she didn't get to use it much the day of the National Championship Game, at least before her bedtime.  But she was dressed for the occasion.  She also loves seeing the leprechaun, especially on someone's shirt.



Rose was quickly outgrowing her winter coat, so Mamaw was kind enough to make her a new one, complete with pockets for the mittens that never stay on her hands.  Here she is modelling for us.

Cousins Garrett and Beckett moved closer recently, so Rose and Erin went up to visit the other day.  Here are pictures from that trip.

Do I have some pizza on my face?

Cousin Garrett shows Rose how the big kids eat.

This is the only picture where the three cousins would sit still.  Mostly it was Rose who wanted to get up and move.

Garrett shows Rose how to build, not just take apart.

And she's off!

Beckett was happy to just watch the action from the couch.
