What does 15 months look like??  Well around here, it looks like plenty of this.....

and a lot of this......
and a whole lot of trouble!

My mischievous little Petunia is almost 16 months old, believe it or not, and pretty much rules the roost around here.  She is 
- a handful
 - strong-willed
 - determined
 - persistent
 - bull-headed
 - stubborn... starting to get the picture?
 
But she also 
- is quick to give kisses
 - adores her brothers
 - can't nap without her green silkie
 - loves my 35 year old Raggedy Anne doll
 - hates to be in a room alone (unless she is being naughty)
 - can climb on pretty much everything, and does
 - is SUCH a daddy's girl
 - loves to be outside
 - can say Jacob's name clearer than any other word in her vocabulary
 
She is a sweetheart and a diva, a terror and a love-bug.  She has been nicknamed the "winged-hair-howler-monkey" by her aunt, and nearly convinced her baby-hungry cousin not to have kids.  In an instant she can light up my day and make me want to tear my hair out.  But I love my little girl and wouldn't have her any other way!

It is the rare crested howler monkey... who knew the barnharts would produce such a diva. Too cute!
Following in the Destroyer's footsteps nicely. No worries...we all know how I adore him!
p.s. you got friends in China?
Aww! What a great post! She is looking so grown up these days. Tell her to stop it already.
