15 months old!

Little Punky is 15 months old! I wish I had a lot of neat and new things to report, but much of it is kinda the same as las month. We're experiencing the normal new things - new babbles, new frustrations, new climbing techniques... Our handouts from the doctor have given us an idea as to what to do when she throws a tantrum or does something she's not supposed to. Hard to believe that this baby is truly turning into a toddler.

*Weight: 26 pounds, 4 ounces (75th-90th percentile)

This is the first time we have dropped from the 95th percentile! I wasn't expecting this. I thought for sure we'd still be in the 95th percentile. I can't look at those cute little thighs and round tummy and think less than the 95th percentile...
*Height: 32 inches (that is in the 95th percentile)

*Head Circ.: off the charts (big) It has always been this way, though - even since birth. Mary (Yiyia) reminded me that it was even this way before birth, when her little noggin measured 38 weeks when I was only 35...

*Favorite foods: pretty much everything (at this point)

*Favorite sleeping friends: her sleep sack and her binky

*Sleeping habits: Bedtime: between 8-8:30, sleeping until about 7:30-8 in the morning. She takes a fabulous, wonderful, beautiful nap in the afternoon, usually JUST after lunch. Cleaning up from lunch is hard because she's tired and ready for bed, meaning that she wants to be held while I try to clean and put things away. This nap usually lasts anywhere between 2-1/2 and 3 hours... GREAT for her pregnant mom. We always read books and have milk before naps or bedtime.

*Overall: Lainey is a very engaging, loving little thing who gives really tight hugs and big smiles. She loves to say "hi" and wave bye and imitate the "woof woof" that a dog says. As far as we can tell, dogs are still her favorite animals, followed closely by horses. She's rarely ever quiet or calm. We love our little busy baby Lainey!

I guess the saying could also go, "Girls will be girls"? She LOVES shoes and purses. These are Ben's flipflops - but hey, they work!

"Where are we headed, Mom?"

Here's Lainey, hanging out in the waiting room at the doctor's office. :) She did great with her shots and checkup. Our pediatrician even let Ben and I look inside her ears to see the little blue tubes in there!!
