This is our daughter barely half an hour ago (as I write this) at the tail end of a dinner with some old high school friends.
Exhausted as she was, M was a great sport, smiling, laughing and playing with all the company as she devoured enough fish, rice and noodles to feed a small football team.
We are truly lucky to have M. She may lose it when it's just us, but she's always 'on' and behaved when we're out and there's a crowd.
Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention in the last post. This weekend, M has started to really get good at climbing.
Last night, she climbed straight from the tub into my lap as I sat by the tub. This afternoon, we saw her climb onto the sofa for the first time. And this evening before leaving for dinner, I walked into the office to find her standing on SAM's chair playing with the numerous new toys she's never seen before on SAM's desk. Again, first time.
Not sure what clicked, but she's suddenly able to get up onto almost anything in the house now, and up to a level where almost nothing is child-proofed.
I guess it's time to ratchet up the vigilance even more.
*sigh* That's life with a fifteen month old, I guess.

I laugh, thinking about how pleased she must have been to discover all those new toys on SAM's desk. How exciting! Imagine all the uncharted territory you have in your house- and the time she manages to actually move the chair to climb up and discover what is above her.
I'm with Sylvia, thinking and chuckling about the new horizons opening up for M... There is NOTHING she can't access- unless it's behind a securely latched cabinet door. Oh the discoveries that she will delight in! Beware the extended silences! :-)
What fun that she's as gregarious as she is with company, and being out. Nice for you to be able to keep your lives going on the weekends and have her be part of things too.
Have a good week! XXOO
Like her mother, M will evolve into a being that deals sensibly will all that she touches in a manner incomprehensible to us all.
Sit back and enjoy the show!
