15 Month Well Check

Still holding her own in percentiles . . .

Weight: 26 lbs. (95th percentile)

Length: 32 1/2 in. (96th percentile)

Head Circumference: 18 3/4 in. (92nd percentile)

She is doing so much these days! So much, that I'm positive I won't remember everything to share with you!

I am astounded by her comprehension! At this point in time, she can successfully follow 2 step directions. I guess I just didn't realize babies understood so much so young, but she clearly understands everything we say. Often times I catch myself carrying on lengthy conversations with her as if she were another adult . . . (this particularly comes in handy when she's unhappy or nervous about something).

Not only is she listening well, but she's speaking even better! She attempts to say almost any word we ask.

Here are a few she chooses to say on her own . . .

Hey - "Hey"

Hi - "Hi"

Bye-Bye - "Bye"

Mama - "mama"

Daddy - "da da"

Mimi - "Miiiiii"

Papa - "Papa"

Alex - "A-ex"

Annie - "Annie"

Pop - "Pop"

Baby - "bay-beeee"

Dog - "dog"

Salsa - "Sasa"

Bird - "birrr"

Owl - "ohhh"

Eye - "eye"

Ball - "ball"

Book - "bu"

Juice - "jis"

Water - "wa wa"

Hot - "hot"

Bubbles - "bubu"

Clock - "cock"

Whoa! - "whoa!"

Whee! - "wheeeee!"

Yay! - "Yaaayyyy!"

Where's Ross (or belly button)? - "Www-rr [baby jargon]"

Peekaboo! - "Peee!"

And probably the best of them all . . . "Yea!"

Do you like it? "Yea!"

Are you a sweet girl? "Yea!"

Do you have poopies in your pants? "Yea!"

(It seriously never gets old.)

Besides all that talking, Ross has been working very hard on walking. She is still quite unstable, but she can most often make it across a room now.

I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful child. There's not much that she doesn't do that doesn't make us laugh or smile. I can't help but squeeze her . . . and kiss her . . . and love on her all day long . . .

. . . and lucky for me, she hasn't gotten tired of it yet.
