15 months

Lola is 15 months old. Jeepers creepers, where does the time go?! Every day she grows further away from the baby stage and looks and acts more like a little girl. Some days it makes me really sad - but, it's hard to stay sad for long because this little girl is so much fun. I feel like she understands everything we say. She responds to all sorts of commands (like taking something to mama or dada, or throwing something in the trash, or giving Oscar kisses). She is definitely becoming more feisty (ornery) as the weeks pass. She furrows her brow and gives us looks now. She taps her fingers on her booster seat tray while she *patiently* waits for us to prepare her meals. She DEMANDS milk from the fridge and knows exactly where we keep the Cheerios. (We have to spell words so she doesn't hear us talking about certain things... I'm wondering how long until she figures out how to spell, too?) She not only walks, she now walks backwards. And she runs. She loves to read books - and she definitely has her favorites. Today was her 15-month checkup, which consisted of a quick exam, taking her measurements and two shots, which were not fun.

15 months

Height: 32 inches

Weight: 26 pounds, 2 ounces

As you may recall, she measured 32 inches at her 12-month checkup, too, which put her in the 105th percentile for height. Her doc thinks they might have overmeasured her last time, which would explain why she was off the charts; however, measuring 32 inches today still put her in the 95th percentile for height. She's in the 90th for weight - the most she's ever been! I'm guessing it's all the whole cow's milk she's been drinking over the past three months.

She can't get enough of it.

Obviously.
