On Tuesday, Emma Kate turned 15 months old. We took her to her well-visit that day. Much harder now that she's so active. She wasn't happy about laying down to be checked out. Thank goodness Brett came to so we each had a baby. Jackson did well & hung out in my arms mostly.
EK's 15 month stats:
Weight: 21.6 pounds (25%)
Height: 30 inches (40%)
Head: 18 3/8 (70%)
Good stats. I think she's going to be a little lady. We'll see! Overall, she's healthy & happy so that's all we care about! I'm going to share things about Emma Kate at 15 months because time is passing so quickly I want to try to recall everything. Plus, share some pics from the doctor visit & a few recent ones too.
- Your vocabulary and verbal skills are AMAZING us! You can say so many words & will basically try any word we ask you to. Here's a list of frequent words your saying now: Jack, Mommy, Daddy, Lolly (sounds like Olly), Pop, Barbie, Katie, car, ball, bottle, flower, puffs, mini me, Lucy, rug, book, toe, knee, elbow, nose, head, bib, bumbo, boppy, Ernie, Abby, Elmo, G, fruit, thank you, good girl, boy, phone, purse, shoes, shorts, dress, dog, cat, cow, moo, block, horse, fish, please (plees), hello, hi, bye bye, passy, cup, baby, doll, pool, money, bunny, turkey, cheese, Nash, potty, & Emma. Anyways you get the picture!! I think that Jackson will be lucky to ever get a word in with his sis around!
- You are full speed pretty much all the time accept when you are looking at a book or having someone read to you. Loves books!! She's even told us a few letters (G, X, O) on her alphabet books, who knows if it's just luck or she really recognizes them. With as many times as we read them she's probably memorized by now!
- Emma Kate has taken 2 naps a day for a long time now. Morning & afternoon (9 & 1ish). For the last few weeks the naps have been irregular so I think her body is trying to drop the AM nap and just go to 1 long afternoon nap a day. We're on day 2 of this transition. Basically, I've tried my best to wear her out, which she does herself pretty well & then I haven't put her down until after 11am.
-You love your baby brother! You pat him on the head, stick his passy in his mouth (sometimes his eye), push the button on his favorite music toy, & play with him while he's in the excersaucer.
-You've started giving kisses!! Oh this makes Mommy so happy! But your pretty picky about when & who you give them to. You & I "give kiss on the mouth", nose kisses, & butterfly kisses. Daddy has started requiring a kiss before he reads you a book...pretty darn cute!
- You are very attached to your baby doll, Lucy. She sleeps with you. And you carry her in your right arm a lot! Lucy even makes the trip over to Lolly & Pop's house.
- We've been trying to teach you to say please & thank you. Also, following simple directions like "please, go take the bottle to Daddy" "Go get Ernie from your room & put him in the stroller." etc.
-Lately, you've been talking about pottying & will even tell us sometimes when you've gone. I think we'll buy a little potty just to peak your curiousity soon.
Can't believe how big you're getting & how you're learning so many new things! We love you more than words can say!!!
