This little one had her 15 month check up today!
She is healthy as can be and lit up the Dr.s office with her silly antics.
She has lost quite a bit of chunk over the last few months but no one is worried.
35th percentile for weight, 22nd for height but her head has steadily stayed in the 55th percentile for her entire 15 months of life. {it's gotta be that smart brain}
She's growing so fast and I feel like every day she does something that makes me go "I want to write that down! I want to remember her she is as a toddler!" So I thought I'd do a little update with all that Lilly is up to at 15 months old.
- She can say 15 words - Mama, Dada, Sissy, Lilly, Piper, PopPop, NinNin {Aunt Erin}, Hi, Bye, Eat Eat, Ni-Ni {night night}, Wa-Wa {water}, More, Oh Oh {uh-oh}, Wow,
- She loves to run around the couch with sissy and spin in the living room until she falls over.
- She loves sissy's favorite baby doll. {Reaghan is sweet enough to share most of the time!} She feeds her, puts her in the crib, pushes her in a stroller
- One of her favorite toys is the play car she got for Christmas. Its one of the few toys that occupy her attention for more than 5 minutes.
- I'm surprised she isn't more of a chunker because she LOVES food. Almost any kind. Her favorites include pasta, cheese, yogurt, grapes, and gold fish! The few things she's not huge on are banana's, sandwich bread, and deli meat.
- She's curious, adventurous and pretty fearless. She climbs on the outer rails of the stairs, thinks gravity doesn't apply to her and that she can walk right off the couch or bed, tries to climb out of her crib and pack n play. {Reaghan never even attempted!} Loves to climb in and out of Reaghan's little chairs. She will walk away from us without a second thought in a store or at a park. {I appreciate her bravery, but this is a serious offense! We are teaching her that this is not okay.}
- She is feisty and loud. Screams, yells, screeches when she's mad and also randomly when we are in the car or if people are having a conversation that she thinks she should be a part of.
- She is a social butterfly and loves to smile at friends and strangers alike. She is constantly making friends in all the stores waving and saying hi to anyone who makes eye contact with her.
- Her smile and laugh are contagious and her teeth are spaced far apart giving her to the goofiest, sweetest grin.
- She is slowly losing interest in nursing. It used to be the thing she LIVED for, especially first thing in the morning, but just in the last week or so she hasn't been as needy.
- She takes the best 3 hour naps and sleeps 12 hours every night. She is a breeze to put to sleep now. A little nursing, a little prayer and then she sits up and points to her crib wanting to be put to sleep. {tonight was the first night that she actually didn't finish nursing... I'm just going to go cry now.}
- She LOVES her pacifier.
- She's sporty. She can put a ball on a tee and wack it off with a baseball bat. Her form just needs a little work. *wink* She likes when daddy helps her put the basketball in the hoop.
- She gives the BEST hugs around the neck and the sweetest open mouth kisses and makes a cute "maaa" sound when blowing kisses.
Gosh. This kid. I love her so much. I could go on and on about her. She hits the ground running every morning. I can't take my eyes off of her for seconds because she does things like sneak an orange crayon in the dishwasher that turns all the dishes orange! She plays hard and she loves hard. Everything she does has an intensity to it. Sometimes it exhausts me and other times it brings me the greatest joy. We speak life over her every night and pray that her boldness, bravery, fierceness and extroverted self would be brought under the Lordship of Christ and used for His glory as she grows. We pray for our diligence and patience as we grow her up. I'm so thankful for ALL of her.
