15.5 months!

Update on Evelyn!

We just went to her 15 month appointment. Her height is 2ft 6.25 inches, so 36%. Her weight is 22lb 6oz, 65%. She's staying pretty much on her curve for weight and height which is good. i'm always afraid i'm overfeeding her because she loves to eat! but so far shes doing well.

Playing with her teapot

She has grown up so much in the past few weeks. She's so much fun these days. She's walking full time finally. This makes going out so much easier so we don't have a crawling baby on the floor of places anymore. She is also learning so much these days. She knows 7 words (hi bye mama dada dog more moo), plus 2 more in sign language (please and eat). I think she also knows a couple more (this, nose, yah) but not definite.

She also is developing an imagination! shes starting to talk to herself more and plays in her kitchen and shopping cart more. Shes more independent and will play by herself more these days. She loves going outside and playing in her sandbox and with bubbles!

She's eating well and is starting to use a fork and spoon! Shes pretty good at using a fork, she's able to pick up food and put it in her mouth. Shes working on the spoon. Not good at scooping but able to get the spoon to her mouth. I'm starting to use plates more which is nice for cleanup! I'm just afraid she'll dump it so I have to keep my eye on her.

Shes' growing up so fast! I love this stage and she's such a good toddler these days. I hope I don't eat those words later! :-P

Donut date!

Birthday party at Pump it Up!

Tiny toms are the cutest!

Ponytail!

Playing at the library!

Bye mom

Monkey girl!

Shopping at Target

Relaxing at the library

Only way she'll sit in a cart!

14.5 months!

Time for an Evelyn update!

She's about 22lbs now. She isn't full walking yet, but she has taken about 6-7 steps by herself! and she loves walking around with us holding her hand. Shes so close, but she got sick with a bad cough/runny nose and so she just wants to be cuddled these days. she definitely says hi now, started signing please and milk, maybe saying dog, says mooo, loves giving hugs and kisses, knows where her tummy is, where to put socks and shoes and rubberbands, and knows what brushing teeth mean. shes starting to get more separation anxiety, but i dont' think its super bad yet... hopefully doesn't get worse! still only has 6 teeth!! i think she may be teething now... but who knows! and lastly, loves reading!
