15 month check up


Adriana had her 15th month check up.  It has been a while now, I have been slacking on my posts.  She is doing really well.   Still very tall and skinny.  She is 31 inches tall, in the 74%ile and 19 lb 5 oz, in the 10%ile.  We still haven't hit 20 lbs.   It isn't for a lack of trying.   Ade is a great eater and really eats pretty much anything you give her (unless it is a vegetable....she thinks they are yuck) 

She has started talking up a storm.  She is forming words and trying to make little phrases.  Her favorite words are duck, dog, daddy, mommy, soup, up, sit, outside and no.  We taught her to say no no to Clyde when he jumped up on her and created a monster.  She loves to tell you a doggie says "wuf" and a cow says "maaa".  She tries to say a lot more, for instance banana is nano, but can't quite get the words out yet.  Oh, and of course she can say Elmo.  I mean, he is quite possibly the most important thing in her world right now.  :)   

She is growing up way too fast.  She is walking like crazy, running, falling and loving all the things outside.  She wants to be outside from the time she gets up to the time she goes to bed.  She loves to play with rocks, dirt, water, Clyde...just as long as we are outside.  These spring snow storms have really made all of us a little stir crazy.  

Clyde just had a check up and is growing and doing well, also.  (must not forget an update on our other child)  He is 19 lbs as well so now that they are pound for pound the same, I feel better about her chances when he comes at her.  Actually, these days, Adriana torments Clyde much more than he does her.  She loves him so much she spends her time trying to hug him and give him kisses.  Dog kisses are very funny.  He has to hide under the bed from time to time to get a break.  

As you can see, the dishwasher is her new favorite sitting place.  She loves to encourage Clyde to climb right on in with her.  There is never a dull moment!
