15 month check-up

Last month I had the pleasure of taking both girls to the doctor for regular visits and shots. It was not the most fun I’ve ever had. But, both are doing great!

For her 4-year visit, Sophie is 40 inches tall (which puts her in the 70th percentile) and weighs 42 lbs (which puts her in the 89th percentile). She also had a hearing test and the doctor said she’s never had a 4-year-old hear all of the sounds before. That means there’s no excuse when she says she didn’t hear me…

Lauren had her 15 month visit. She is 31 inches tall (putting her in the 73rd percentile) and 22 lbs (which puts her also in the 73rd percentile). Neither kid was happy about the shots, but we got through it.
She’s really a little toddler on the go now. She’s a total monkey, climbing all over the place, and trying to do everything Sophie is doing. She likes to sit and eat at a little table, and has been getting good with the fork. 
Here’s one of her first pieces of art. Brilliant!

We took Sophie in for her 15 month check-up last week. She’s doing great – 31.24 inches tall, 25lbs 8ozs. She’s still in the 75th percentile for height and weight.

I’m also happy to report that she’s added some words to her repertoire. We’ve now got “shoe,” “uh-oh” (which she says a lot), “mommy,” “mama” and “baby.” “Yuck” is still a favorite.

She’s also got about 12 teeth in that little mouth.

We also need to keep our eye on the kiddo. This weekend when my back was turned she pulled a step stool out, dragged it over to the stove, and made herself at home. Just look at the smile on her face. She’s so proud. I think we’re in trouble…
