Madelyn at 15 Months!!

Today we went to Madelyn's 15 month doctor's appointment...Here are her stats!

Weight: 27 pounds (93%)

Height: 32 inches (88%)

Head Circumfrance: 18 inches (50%)

Teeth: 16!!

Dr. Curry was very impressed with Madelyn (as always!). He says that she is progressing very well and even a little bit ahead. Her soft spot is almost closed (typically closes between 15 and 18 months), she is very skilled in walking and running, has started to climb on EVERYTHING, and has LOTS of teeth. He was impressed that she already has 16 teeth - she has them all minus her two year molars (at the rate that Madelyn is getting teeth, she will probably get them sooner rather than later!). He says that she will probably go through a phase soon where she will eat less and become more picky (**Edited: Madelyn hardly ate any dinner tonight - she wanted nothing of it!! So unlike her!!). He also wants her completely off bottles. We have been having morning and night milk in a bottle still simply because we do not have a whole lot of sippy cups. Madelyn does not care how she gets milk as long as she got it so I went to Target on the way home and got more sippy cups and took the left over bottles out of the drawer!

Here are some things Madelyn is doing at 15 months!

Animal Sounds: alligator (she says chomp, chomp), cat, dog, pig, bear, monkey, duck (sometimes)

Words she signs: all done, more, eat, milk, water, Dada, thank you, Gigi, Aunt Hallie, blows kisses when you tell her you love her!

Words she says: Dada, Mama, Gigi, Layla, ball, eye, that, hi, bye bye, Tiger

She loves to climb, run, read books, throw balls, give kisses, and play outside

She can point to her tummy, eye and nose

I think that I say this every stage but this might be my favorite age! I love that she is so active and responsive. She is so much fun to play with!! I can't wait to see what lays ahead! :)
