15 months

We had Olivia's 15 month appointment today. Her appointment went good, in my opinion. She's finally starting to slim down and is officially on the growth curve for girls her age again. When they put her up on the scale and I saw she had lost 4 pounds since her last appt, I was pretty surprised but not extremely concerned, lets be honest the kid is not exactly malnourished. But then her Doctor informs us that she should not be losing weight at this age but instead just not gaining it as fast. So now we have to put her back on whole milk and make sure she's drinking at least 32 oz a day of it. She also had to get shots and for some reason these ones were so tough for me! I bawled more then I ever have it was very sad. She is such a sweet little girl and is getting so big so fast. At 15 months Olivia:
  • is 31.7 inches long -80%
  • weighs 25.4 pounds- 90%
  • head is 19 inches- 90%
  • wears 18-24 month size clothes
  • in size 5 diapers
  • has been completely off bottles for a little over a month now. Now if we could just get her off the binkie...
  • is a pretty good little eater! Eats almost every kind of meat and fruit but is a bit picky with some raw vegetables. Her favorite foods are chicken, corn, raspberries, blueberries, yogurt, raviolis with meatballs, and black beans with rice. 
  • tells us when she wants to eat. Usually she walks to her highchair and says "food" or tries to drag it over to us. 
  • Sleeps from about 9:30 at night to 8:30 in the morning with an hour nap in the afternoon. She is also really good about to going down by herself for bed or naps. We ask her if she wants to go to sleep and she gets her blanket and binkie and says "night-night' and walks into her room and stands at her crib. 
  • loves to dance!
  • points to everything and tries to say what it is
  • repeats just about everything we say! Picks up new words everyday. Some of the new words lately are: purple, candy, hat, snuggle, box, binkie, potty, I don't know, oh yeah, trick-treat (trying to say Trick or treat), boo, pumpkin, more, thank you, please, puppy, and go lay down (she says that to my parent's dogs)
  • loves to point to pictures and say "mama" or "dada". 
  • Has 12 teeth! She cut her first 4 molars in a 3 day period. We didn't even know she was teething, she wasn't acting grumpy at all just really tired. She took a 3 hour nap one day and woke up with 3 cut molars!
  • Loves to brush her teeth
  • Likes to help clean up
  • Gives high fives
  • Blows kisses
