15 Months

We so have the ultimate toddler already.

At your well check this week you came in at a whopping....

21 lbs and 11 ozs, the 30%tile

32 inches long, 90%tile and

18 1/2in head, also the 90%tile

You are also:

-Wearing size 4 diapers still, and can fit in clothes ranging from 6-12 mth to 24 mth, you even wear some shorts that are 6-9 mths

-Your hair is growing in rapid speed and is growing in wavy on the top and tight curls along your neck. You seem to like your hair, want to have it brushed like Lily but for some reason believe that any kind of food looks best in your blonde locks.

-You are talking! You have a new range of words like up and down, hot, I Love You, Happy Birthday, thank you. You also have your own version of singing and still love to squeal like a fire engine.

-You have 12 teeth! 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom and the last molar is finally on it's last stage of coming in.

-You are having some real trouble sleeping at night. You are going through a clingy stage where you only want to sleep with us. There is no way we can go into your room to turn on your music and stick the binky in your mouth without you standing to pound your fists on the crib while stomping your feet...and all of this at 2am. So, we have resorted to you crying it out. :( You're a smart girl, I'm hoping you figure this thing out soon.

-You are finally enjoying food. You're more of a salty, carb lovin' girl rather than one with a sweet tooth. You gobble up anything with cheese on it or anything with your little rotini noodles. You also love fruit and raw veggies with dip. You are using forks and spoons with little help and are using the same plates Lily uses. Although despite all of this, you are still the messiest eater in the house and have to get mini-baths after each meal.

-You are extremely coordinated and extremely brave. And, because of this you CLIMB! You climb everything and anything. You can get up on every sofa, you stand on the blue playroom chairs and even tried climbing up onto the table. You have used the rungs under the kitchen chairs to get up onto our laps and you can get into the glider and onto the ottoman in your room. The most impressive thing of all, you haven't had a great fall yet. You know how to slide down on your belly, you know how to step down off of things and do it with great ease.

-You will be introduced to the time-out mat soon. You test us at every turn and wonder what we'll do. When you are told no, you sometimes listen and other times you stare at us and smile only to turn around to do it again. You also bite. It's really your only line of defense against your sister and sometimes when you go in for a kiss you forget and bite down.

-You love, love, love to dance and are very entertaining! This deserves it's very own post!

-You give huge random hugs and kisses! You also are becoming very cuddly and love to turn around and back into our lap :).

-You also adore Lily and Maci.

Love you Emma girl.
