Life in "Raadt Time": 15/16 month

Miss Macey has been doing a lot of growing since her last update in December. In 2 weeks she will turn 16 months, and every morning Kyle and I look at each other and say, "she grew overnight, didn't she?" As hard as it is to acknowledge, but our baby girl has turned into a busy, active toddler. I'm able to get a few cuddles in per day, but most of the time she is go, go, go.

Macey had a 15 month appointment about 3 weeks ago. She is a healthy, growing little girl. Her weight is currently 25# (80%), height 32.25" (95%) and head circumference 19" (95%)
She's currently wearing 12-18 month clothing, barely! I refuse to buy any winter clothes that are 18-24 months, so she looks more like a stuffed little sausage these days. She has a bunch of 18-24 month outfits that she (or mom) is anxious for her to wear, but this darn winter weather needs to go away.
Wearing size 4 diapers, and size 4-5 shoes.
Loves to eat and is generally a really good little eater. Some of her recent favorites have been strawberries, grapes, cheese, carbs, broccoli/cauliflower/peas/carrots and anything sweet. She needs to be eating when you eat, otherwise she is like a little puppy dog begging for handouts.
Adios bottles! Macey transitioned to a sippy cup around her 1 year birthday. I was giving her a bottle of formula or warm water before bed at night, but she quickly transitioned herself off of it.
She has been consistently sleeping 10-11 hours a night and takes a nap in the afternoon that's 1-2 hours long.
She likes her pacifier and calls it "Beee-a". Soon, we will stop giving it to her during the day and reserve it only for bed time.
She is a motor maniac! She loves to run and climb. She can no longer be out in our dining room without close supervision as she loves to climb on the chairs and then up on the table. I don't know how many times we've found her standing on our dining room table clapping. She knows "sit down", but loves to still test her boundaries. She's getting better at going up and down the stairs. She's close to jumping.
She is resilient! Micah love to 'rough-house' and Macey is often his partner. She takes so many falls, tackles, and spills throughout the day, but gets up and keeps trucking along.
She loves to read, especially books about animals or babies.
Is starting to say a lot of words - "Mmm-ka" (Micah), Dada, Mama, all-done, baby, puppy, kitty, ducky, beep-beep for car, "wa" (water), "beee-a" (paci), and cookie. A few days ago we were leaving daycare, and we passed a friend named Lila who was also being picked up. The entire way home, Macey could be heard saying "Hi Lila". She continues to sign "more."
Loves to dance - both kids do!
Starting to have tantrums. This usually happens when we coming in from playing outside or when something is taken away from her - usually a chair. She'll throw herself on the floor, cry, kick and scream like her big brother. Once Kyle and I walk away and ignore them, she'll stop.
She has a lot to look forward to over the next few months. This weekend is Easter, and we plan to go back to Stewartville to spend time with my family and Grandpa Larry. She'll be old enough to participate in an Easter egg hunt. Next week she transitions from the infant room down to the toddler room at daycare. We are excited to travel up to Ely in May for Kyle's cousins wedding. We're looking forward to warmer weather, more evenings at the park in our neighborhood, and a few trips up North this summer.
