15 Months

Book worm

This morning we took Ellie to the doctor for her 15 month well check-up. She weighed in at a whopping 19.6 pds (5%) and is 29 1/2 inches tall (25%). This was the first appt that she cried when the doctor examined her...a lot! She was not happy about being poked and prodded and she definitely let us know it. She was in general not a happy camper even when they weighed and measured her right at the beginning.

The last few days we have had a whiny, clingy girl because she has 2 molars on top still trying to come all the way through and now two on the bottom are trying to poke through the gums as well! Except for the last few days Ellie is a lot of fun! Some of her new tricks include hissing like a snake, trying to scare us (boy is she intimidating!), and smelling flowers ( and just about everything else she gets her hands on). She has also just started feeding herself with a spoon & fork and is getting pretty good. However, our once good eater has turned toddler on us as well and any meal is hit or miss these days. Our doctor today told us that this phase could last until she's 4 or 5!!! Yikes!
