15 month check up

Madelyn had her 15 month appointment on Friday.  I can't believe she's 15 months already!!!

It seemed like the entire appointment was traumatic for Madelyn.  She screamed when they weighed her, screamed when they measured her, screamed when the doctor looked in her ears (and as she was trying to do any part of the exam) and of course screamed when she got her shots.

Funny thing is that I'm not sure the shots were the worst part - she actually screamed louder for other parts of the appointment and recovered very quickly after the shots.  Poor thing!

She's doing great and is our healthy & happy little girl.  Her ears were both clear - yippee!  She is 33.5 inches long (off the charts: 97%+), weighs 26.5 lbs (90%) and her head is 48 cm (95%).

She is at such a fun age and like everyone says, it just keeps getting better & better!  She has started talking so much in the last couple weeks.  She will repeat words.  She says daddy, mommy, baby, puppy, bubbles, belly, papa, nana, weeeeeee, hi, bye bye.  She has learned sign language and signs please, food, more and we are working on thank you.  She can point to her ear, nose, belly button and sometimes her toes.

She started climbing all the way up the stairs and is learning how to come down.  We will be happy when she figures out how to come down so we don't have to worry about her.  A couple nights ago she learned how to stand at the end of her crib (on the outside).  We'll have to keep an eye on her so she doesn't learn how to crawl out when she is in the crib!  This morning Ryan said she figured out how to get into the bathtub (no water in it).  Funny because she still hates the bath so whenever we put her in the bathtub she kicks and screams.  She learns new things every day and is always so curious and interested in everything.  It's so amazing and fun to watch her grow up!
