- Identifies and reads the following words in print: Grace, mama, bus, goodnight, moon
- When counting to 10, Grace can fill in the numbers 2, 3, 8, and 10
- Identifies and has word approximations for the following shapes: circle, square, triangle, rectangle, pentagon, octagon, rhombus
- Identifies the following colors: red, orange, green, blue, pink, and occasionally yellow & purple and uses the signs for green, red, orange, blue
- Asks for help by signing and saying "hep"
- Builds block towers using 7 blocks
- Kicks a ball (definitely has Daddy's soccer skills!)
- Self-feeding with a fork and spoon
- An increased interest in drawing & painting - beginning imitation of vertical lines and circles
- A significant increase in expressive language skills. Grace is learning so many new words and signs every day!

Happy 15 Months!
What an impressive list of accomplishments and skills. I imagine that courtesy of all the recent snow that bird sighting opportunities will be numerous from your couch. That must make your cats excited as well. What great fun it is to read and enjoy books. Keep on learning your new words and here is a little song showing words in different languages!
Love, Uncle Adam

Dearest Grace,
You are an Amazing Grace!
You are a gift to our entire family every day. We enjoy all of your high energy play, your creative explorations and your wholesome natural goodness. We all talk about you every day! We all love you our beautiful Baby Grace.
Each day is a gift...why else would they call it the "present"?
This is how all of us feel about you, Mommy and Daddy.
