sweet and sour

Raegan is 15 1/2 months and I gotta say, this age is sooo incredibly sweet!! She is a firecracker. She is constantly on the move unless she is taking her joyous nap (joyous for mom I say). She LOVES to be tickled and chased, so she will purposefully run into a dead end (favorites are closets and the pantry) so she CAN get caught. She is obsessed with raisins and her shoes. Her laughs are some of of the best parts of my day. The sour parts are struggling to understand what she wants and is trying to say. She wants to be so independent but so dependent at the same time. I love seeing her face when she masters things in her world, most recently being the light switch. She has a lot of words down, but most everything is requested by unh! unh! unh! and a point of her usually sticky finger. She is starting to mimic, so I will be praying that the way I live my life will set a good example for her. Israel and I are loving this stage even though it can be difficult at times because we know it will be gone tomorrow.
