15 months!

Our big girl is now 15 months old! She went to the pediatrician this morning for her checkup (I did not realize they did checkups at this age, but they do). She weighs in at 21 lbs. 12 oz. (28th percentile) and is 32-1/4" long (93rd percentile). Her head is 18" around (50th percentile). She has actually picked up a little in the weight department, which was a relief for me. Perhaps this is why:

He said kids often slim down as they start walking or around 1 year and then will pick back up, so hopefully she's back on the upswing. He wasn't concerned about it at all though.

Everything else checked out good - ears, eyes, nose, teeth, skin, belly, reflexes, lungs and muscles (as evidenced by her screaming and trying to get away from him). She is doing great developmentally and he said she acts just like a 15-month old. Some other kid was screaming bloody murder while we were there and he said that was most likely another 15-month old (ha ha).

She did have to get 3 shots though, DTaP, Prevnar (shout out to Wyeth/Pfizer in Sanford!), and the second H1N1. I think the first 2 could have waited until 18 months, but they try to spread them out a little more. They gave them in her legs this time, but thankfully they did not render her paralyzed like they did to her cousin : )

We even stopped off at library storytime on our way home and she had a lot of fun with the songs and story. She played with the other kids...until she discovered that the library is full of books - heaven for Erin!
